Like in "I Saw the Devil". The graphic violence was necessary for that movie to have 100% full sensory impact.

Indeed. One reason why I won't watch it. Also, I don't speak ancient Aramaic.

Mind you, you have to admire the stance the Church took on the movie. When asked what he thought of it, Pope JP II said "It is what it is". Huh? Nice and clear condemnation/endorsement there, JP! Typical ****ing Church!

Why should they be expected to do either of those things?

welllllll ... considering a lot of Christians were probably conflicted as to whether to watch it or not - would it be a sin, watching Christ get tortured, or was it their Christian duty to understand what He suffered for them? - I think the Church really dodged coming out either in favour of or against the movie, and I think Christians were expecting a decision from el Papa. I wasn't, but I was mildly interested in how they would react, and to just shrug was, to me, a total cop-out. Not that I'm surprised, as I say.
