Writer Gerald A. Honigman has taken Mel Gibson’s The Passion of the Christ to task:
Back in early 2004, if I recall the exact time correctly, Diane Sawyer interviewed Mel Gibson about his then new film, The Passion of the Christ, on ABC. It was a fairly balanced interview, so my initial fears of a whitewash were put to rest.But most folks still don’t understand what all the fuss had been about. So, please permit me to be as candid as possible in trying to clarify the potential problems revolving around this sensitive and painful subject.
