Who does God love?

Gibson's introduction of his action films into serious controversial religious films is an innovation or a failure. Different people have different opinions. As far as the film itself, perhaps he was successful in the sense of exploiting the death of Jesus, which can be felt in the film from the bloody images and the lines of Jesus' tolerance and redemption.
About the Bible, about the Jews, about Jesus, these very controversial religious issues have always attracted attention. Most people don't dare to get involved easily. Anyone who shoots it will have mixed praise. But it is this kind of contradiction that is worth discussing and trying together. Gibson could have come up with new directions, new perspectives, new interpretations, but he's just honestly filming the 12 hours before Christ's crucifixion in the New Testament as an action movie. And he tried his best to pass the guilt of Jesus' crucifixion to the Jewish masses, but he made the ruling Roman authorities benevolent in every possible way. This is another disappointment. Also because of the large-scale gospel in the film, and the long slowness and stagnation of the crucifixion, I would prefer to say that Gibson's Passion is a missionary film. I prefer Scorsese's daring to make a deviant "The Last Temptation of Christ".
Don't know much about the New Testament, not much about Jesus, but from a movie standpoint, Jesus is a common character in movies: a rib. For example, a seventeen-year-old bicycle must be taken back. For example, the butterfly effect, must fill the hole. Such as the taste of cherries, have to commit suicide. The end of a muscle is not very good. Jesus, have to instill his unpopular, boldly subversive preaching on the Jews. Do not use your own suffering to save the world. Say it is God's will. Then, he lived forever. But because of this God's will and Jesus' implementation, the Jews became eternal sinners. Generations of persecution continue today. Over the past two thousand years, there have been tragic persecution of Jews around the world by Christians (more than 7 million people died); then there was the mass genocide of the Jews in the ruling area by the German Nazis (6 million people, equivalent to the total European Jewish population). 70%). Today, while a repeat of mass anti-Semitism is unlikely, potential anti-Semitism, including the destruction of synagogues and personal attacks, still occurs. I don't think any of these actions would be pleasing to Jesus the Redeemer.
(Matthew 27:25) And all answered, His blood be upon us, and upon our children; (John 3:36) Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life. He who does not believe in the Son shall not have eternal life, and the wrath of God abides on him; (John 8:21) Jesus said to them again (referring to the Jews): I am going, and you will seek me, and you will die in your sins. Where I go (heaven), ye cannot come; (John 8:34) Jesus answered and said, I tell you the truth. All who sin are slaves of sin; (John 8:44) Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father you will do, who was a murderer from the beginning, and did not keep the truth. Because there is no truth in him, he lies out of himself, because he is a liar and the father of liars. (1 Thessalonians 1, 2:16) The wrath of God was upon them to the extreme. On the other hand, through the following warning: "(John 12:47-48) If anyone hears my word and does not keep it, I will not judge him. I did not come to judge the world, but to save the world. Reject me and do not receive He who speaks to me has one who judges him. It is the word I speak that will judge him at the last day." I really don't want to believe that Jesus, who "God so loved the world", is so extreme. Only love people who believe in themselves. Only redeem his followers. But to curse forever the "infidels" will be judged and punished by God.
