You're my samefag, anon
I did TRY to watch it, but only got half way and thought "If I refuse to watch torture porn, why am I watching this?"

Yeah, no offence, but one of the reasons I think that film IS torture porn-tier is because cathbros seem to live in the belief that it was the very human suffering of Christ that so terrified Him in the garden the night before ("take this cup…"), and so the crucifixion must therefore be made to look extremely bloody and feel horrifying. Well, while I am certain the days events were just that, it oversells'' the humanity of Christ as just a poor man (((they))) tortured and killed, and ignores – mostly, I think, because cathbros reject the theological notion – the role of God's wrath on Christ for our sins.
A servant cannot be greater than his master, yet we're saying Peter, who went to his cross willingly, unafraid, all-but mocking the Romans killing him by insisting they turn his cross upside down, was greater than Christ who cowered in the garden sweating blood and pleading with the Father? Surely not. The difference is that Peter did not bear the wrath of God for our sins, and THIS mystical event is what the crucifixion is REALLY about. Not some human form being whipped and humiliated. imho.
But, I am not inclined to think, for all Gibson's current desire to show the supernatural, that any of this is reflected in Gibson's first film.
Not that I know HOW you could portray God's wrath laid on Christ.
