: It's supposed to be a factual account of Jesus's last 12 hours, right? If people are so upset by this, shouldn't they also direct this outrage at the Bible too?
: It's not like Gibson is making Jesus a tap-dancing, homosexual alien. His story is from the Gospels written several hundreds years back.
Gibson took quite a bit of artistic license with those last 12 hours.
So, to say it is a factual account is not entirely factual.
