Went to see The Passion of Christ in the central city Kaohsiung. Its The Thursday of Easter. Its a country with few Christians. The theatre is huge as is the screen. There are about 15 other people at the 10 pm session.
Dreadful film. No saving graces, no redeeming features. (all puns intended). It seems like a simple violent film made by a simple violent person that might appeal to simple violent people.
Dont believe me? Read these three reviews in The Guardian
Oh I forgot to mention Gibson's father is a great mate of Frederick Tobin the notorious Australian based Holocaust denier from the Adelaide Institute. I understand Gibson is bankrolling Tobin's tour of USA. See picture of Tobin with old man Gibson.
