Perhaps the point of this is to show that Jews, like anyone else, can be influenced by Satan.
I'm a bit wary though of the subliminal long-term effects of the images I described. They do linger in the mind, which means that they can have subconscious effects that you are not even aware of.
And Satan WAS present at the scourging.
Yes, you're correct, he was present at the scourging, among the watching crowd (I don't recall whether or not the crowd consisted of Romans, Jews, or both.)
I don't get this at all. I never got that impression.
Again I'm nervous about the long-term, subliminal effects of the imagery. I might be over-sensitive about portrayal of GLBTs in the media and the effects thereof, I will admit that.
TBH, I actually hope I'm wrong.
However, I am a naturally androgynous person, and I feel personally put-out that Gibson went out of his way -- using a female actor with a dubbed male voice -- to use the image of an androgynous person as the embodiment of evil, deceit, and unnatural being. I suspect, actually, that he was influenced by Marilyn Manson.
