<p dir="auto">I ameither agnostic or atheist. I know I do not believe in the god of the Bible, Torah, or Q'ran, but I don't have the arrogance to dismiss the possibility of some form of a cultivator of the universe. So, that's where I stand religiously.<br />
Anyway, this movie is rather brutal, but I'm rather well studied on the Bible, and I find the movie to be a very accurate portrayal of what is present in the book. I like it much more than any other movie on the subject matter, because it did not pull any punches. I also appreciate that Gibson went through the trouble of making the dialogue in Latin and Aramaic. I am not moved by the movie or the story, but I do find it to be a fascinatingly accurate of what is presented in the book, and fascinating in the accusations of antisemitism despite again, it being what is in the book. I suppose Christianity itself is antisemitic.<br />
Also, as a side, this is by far my favorite portray of Lucifer. I absolutely love the actresses portrayal. I'm glad they didn't just make some monster creature thing, but a human who seems to just be very very evil to the core, by their voice, their expression, and their body language.</p>

<p dir="auto">I think I liked it most because Satan is usually portrayed only two ways: big red horned demon goat thing, or the biggest <em>beep</em> businessman who ever lived.</p>

Oh, I see what you mean.  IMO both types of representations of Satan are valid.  The Curry-style Satan focuses more on his debasement, and the POTC-style Satan focuses more on his combination of charm and former beauty and debasement.  But both styles are pointing to aspects of Satan that he has, so one style is not "more correct" than the other.<br />

<p dir="auto">Think of Satan as kind of legion. He is everything and nothing. Satan is that one guy in the story you have to pin for everything bad while the real culprit sits on a throne being worshipped by peons.<br />
Hell, when you read through the bible Satan is accused by a lot of people, but only actually does very littleand his death count is like 10, tops<br />

<p dir="auto">I agree that this film mostly portrays the Bible accurately. Although Satan in this film is not a "human" like you say.  Rather, he is a demon who takes on a somewhat human form. In fact, if Satan<br />
was<br />
"just a human" like you are misinterpreting this film's representation of Satan to be, then this film would be doing the opposite of what you are praising it for, by contradicting the Bible.<br />
But I do agree that the Satan actress did a great job.<br />

Christ, are you really this dumb? You know people can have interests in things that aren't true, right? Or maybe he had to read some of the bible to learn what it really said when another liar for Jesus, such as yourself, approached him with a stupid comment.<br />
