Time to dust off your Aramaic - that's the language being used in the movie (with subtitles) from what I heard.
I overheard some previews of Mel Gibsons comments with Diane Sawyer. He first said 1) he's not anti-semitic (nor is he trying to be), 2) the movie is extremely violent.
Mel is trying to get Christians to take a hard look at their faith, I suppose. He's definitely putting his career at risk with this one film which may turn out to be deeply polarizing, I hope you guys have the stomach to sit through it. I'm not sure I do, in spite of my keen interest in the subject.
