Well, you're a braver man than I am!   I know I could not sit
through the violence.  Having not seen the film, I can't comment on whether
the violence is appropriate or not.  I just know I couldn't handle it
emotionally--from what I've heard.  ALthough I do know how the film
producers used special effects with the nails in the hands of Christ.

Maybe if I remind myself, that's it's "only" special effects, I
could sit through it.  Nah!
