I will look forward to seeing this movie, period. But, I will be much more likely to see it with subtitles (since I speak neither Latin nor Aramaic!)
I don't think people need to be worried about any anti-Semetic feelings. Mel has taken the Gospel of John from the Bible and if it stays true to that text, there is nothing anti-Jewish about it. Jesus himself and all of his disciples were Jews. Yes, the Jews were the ones who wanted him crucified, but it was actually the Romans who performed the execution. I for one, welcome a realistic portrayal of the last week of Jesus' life. Being beaten, whipped and crucified is gory and horrible, as well as about the most painful way possible to be killed. I see no need to gloss over this, or 'sugar coat' it in any way, because it will be true to the record of how things happened in the Gospel of John.
