Thanks; I hope I don't have to ask express permission to revise and
extend my remarks in this forum:
On Mel Gibson's "Passion"
What's the prurient appeal
Of tortures seen that you can't feel?
New coalitions of the willing --
Helping Mel to make a killing.
Mel's camera loves the bloody spatters,
Reaction shots, and skin in tatters;
Though flesh and bone are sliced and diced,
His camera doesn't love the Christ.
Slo-mo, close-up, get that shot --
Masochists like Mel get hot;
Give us crucifiction's gore --
That's what Technicolor's for!
