- I'll second this. I've only seen about 5 minutes of the thing. It was the
- part where Jesus was being ridiculed. They did a good job of it. It was too

- concerned) seems a much more accurate portrayal of what really happened than
- we like to think about. I can read the gospel accounts without thinking much
- about it but I can't stand to watch it happen in JCS.
