Ok, so last week I went off on the Passion of the Christ and closed with this brilliant remark:
"Mel's passion, his crisis of faith, has led him to make an aggressive, angry film that succeeds only in preaching to the choir… those who will see it and embrace it are those who already share his beliefs. Maybe that's enough for him."
At $125 million the first weekend and counting (it is the beginning of Lent, after all), I'd guess that yeah, that's enough for him.
