passion of the christ

i watched the passion of the christ last saturday...
i suppose the reviews are true, it was gruesome, but after the movie, a few things struck me...
It definitely CANNOT be a movie for entertainment...
unlike other hollywood movies which glorify death and torture... this definitely didn't...
there was nth entertaining watching a man being literally butchered alive, for no apparent reason... and also to have the "bad guy" escape without any punishment...
which leads to another conclusion...
Christianity is the only religion that depicts a suffering God... no other religion does so...
if there was a movie depicting a suffering Muhammad, u'd get muslims worldwide condemning the movie...
and yeah, precisely bcos' the POC isn't an entertaining movie, den to just watch it just for fun and to have it not make an impact would either render u to the level of the Roman soldiers who enjoyed the torture of Jesus... or to the Jews, who either watched silently idle or supported His crucifixion...
maybe u might think its reading too much in2 a movie... even if u don't believe dat the Crucifixion is a real thing dat happened, i think i does reflect on what u find as entertaining... what more if you ARE a christian...
