Ouch. Never seen the movie, not sure if I particularly want to... I don't know how much more of that sort of stuff I could stand to watch... great make up and effects though, admittedly.

I wonder if I'll ever see this movie...

I know a guy who gets pissed off that they speak Latin in the Passion of the Christ, but really, in the Eastern Roman Empire the official language was Greek.

COME ONNNNNN MEL GIBSON, LOOK INTO THESE THINGS.

kinda like the official language down here is english, but everyone speaks spanish?

It's a lot less effort to just keep the already established institutions in Greek from Alexander's conquest (since every educated Roman knew Greek anyway) than to convert everything over when they themselves conquered the Hellenistic east.

There were of course tons of other languages floating around like Coptic, Old Syrian, Aramaic, Hebrew, etc. that the people actually spoke.

The entire movie is basically like that scene with a few non-torture moments tossed in. MY ex-girlfriend wanted to see it so we went and saw it in the theater. It was a bit awkward when everyone on the theater started sniffling and then sobbing. Have you ever been in a public place surrounded by a bunch of sobbing strangers? It is very strange. After the movie they all formed a giant circle at the front of the theater and started praying and shit to which I said "Hey look at that, I'm hungry". We then proceeded to get lunch.
