People choose not to see the film because essentially it is not not not a product of a spiritual heart but is instead a somewhat anti-semetic money making scheme. Reviving a medieval practise of attempting to shock an audience via embedded guilt-mongering techniques is really not the best way to reach the people. It certainly worked amongst some people but it really isn't fair to have a go at people who have chosen not to see it. It is brutal propaganda and really doesn't deserve a place amongst modern cinema or even modern society.
The hypocrisy surrounding the situation is that it preaches spiritual hatred and retribution through pain, which is only a message fundamentalist groups interpret within spiritual materials.

That is exactly what Mel Gibson chose to do. I'm not having a go at anyone here by the way, just the film itself. Sorry for dragging things off topic.
Which apparently great movies have I never seen? Quite a few.
Raging Bull, Apocalypse Now (although familiar with the content, I've never had time to watch the film in its entirity), A Clockwork Orange. Also, like Rei, I have never seen Mission Impossible, The Green Mile and Saturday Night Fever. But those are out of choice. Ahahaha.
