The most powerful movie I have ever seen. 2 hours in length but felt much longer. It was mesmerizing and I give Mel Gibson so much credit for having that much courage to create this movie. I believe it should win Picture of the Year but won't due to the controversery surrounding it. Cinematography was top notch and well as the emotion put into it. It is the realest depiction of Christ's last hours and everyone should watch this movie. It is THAT important. Please do not listen to all the naysayers. Go watch it yourself and formulate your own opinion. Also, the musical score is one of the best I have ever heard.
