Rob Reiner has said that Mel Gibson needs to admit that 'The Passion of the Christ' is Anti-Semitic. As per http://www.showbuzz.cbsnews.com/stories/2006/08/25/people_hot_water/main1936680.shtml
I think that is absolutely ridiculous!! First of all, Mel Gibson has already apologized and has met with Jewish leaders to see how he can make up for some of the hurt he has caused by his drunken comments. Yes, he was wrong. He's admitted it. Second....the movie is not Anti-Semitic! I've seen it. It portrays the story fairly accurately. Jesus was a Jew. The movie isn't about ...oh, look at the Jews they are horrid people. It's about, what Jesus went through. My view of the movie, was that people...not Jews,
people...were afraid of him, so they tried to destroy him. Whether or not you believe that Jesus was the Christ, a man named Jesus was cruicified. It's his story. I don't see Germans complaining that 'Schindlers List' is Anti-Germanic. It's a movie depicting a piece of history. It's not about who was right or who was wrong...it's about showing the world our history. Not German, Jewish or Roman history...the world's history!
Get over it and stop trying to play the 'poor me' card.
