Mel Gibson took a lot of thought to get the film, but it was still a bit thankless, and it was still protested by many Jews.
The following is an online narrative:
In 1965, the Holy See officially absolved the Jews of their "crimes" at the Second Vatican Council. Since then, they no longer have to bear the heavy charge of "killing Jesus", which makes all Jews feel guilty. He let go of a big stone that was pressing on his heart. However, when Mel Gibson began to write and direct "The Passion of the Christ", the shadow once again struck the hearts of those Jews living in the United States, and the sensitive religious issues involved in the film were the source of the contradiction. Gibson's description of the film further aggravates Jewish concerns and disturbs the normal thinking of any Jew: "The unease caused by the Passion of the Christ is a matter of course, but it is not what I made the film for. originally intended. I'm just telling a fact ...... anyone convicted of a crime should see themselves commit. " "

Passion of the Christ "did not lead star in Hollywood dominates, in which the film's dialogue also used Languages ​​used by the characters: Jewish Aramaic and Roman Latin, although there will be English subtitles, but for Hollywood, this approach is simply unreasonable. So people began to feel fear. The root of the fear was not the fear of "facts" in Gibson's mouth, but the fact that Gibson had funded a traditional Catholic church independent of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Los Angeles. The so-called "traditional Catholicism" refers to the The Church splintered against the "Second Vatican Council" movement whose aim was to "purge the Jews who killed Jesus".

Under pressure, Mel Gibson had to re-edit the film to give the Jewish characters more sympathetic elements, and to bring in Colorado Springs evangelicals, Pennsylvania religious leaders, and Washington society Celebrities, not ordinary citizens who have the most say, come to watch unfinished porn. So we still don't know the right answer as to whether the film was an act of madness deliberately instigated by Mel Gibson or an urge to bring the descendants of sinners back to face the truth. Because, whether the Jews should be charged with the eternal crime of killing Jesus is too far away from us, who are influenced by Chinese culture...
End of quote.

For those of us who are non-Christians, there can only be a lot of incomprehension of such a religious film. Perhaps we have to read the Bible before watching this film, and then we can understand more. . .
