Catholics are taught that Jesus "SUFFERED" and died for our sins. Mel seems to get that point across well.

Mel told Diane Sawyer this week that he did a lot of research on the details of death by crucifixion. He asked scholars and doctors about what exactly happens, how the condemmened man reacts, etc. I ask the critics just how can Mel make a whipping scene "unbloody"? We're not talking lethal injection here.
I haven't seen the movie, but if Mel's execution at the end of Braveheart is any indication, it should be realistic and gory.
