Give him his do, Gibson is one hell of director. Although I felt this film was a bit over the top, it was quite an experience. I particularly liked the concept of having the characters speak in Aramaic. That said, I enjoyed Braveheart and especially Apocalypto much more. Apocalypto was one of the most unusual films ever made and I also enjoyed the use of the indigenous vernacular in that film. Gibson, in the same manner as Fellini, has an eye for casting individuals with physical features that are either unsettling or merely grotesque. Haven't seen his latest film, Hacksaw Ridge, but I'm sure it must be an eyeful.
This coming from a Jew and knowing Gibson's anti-semitic views. Hopefully Gibson can overcome his irrational views and just stick to making ground breaking films, I think all of us would be better served.
