   It is not just a movie.. at least to Gibson.  While some say it is just   
   'entertainment',   
   Gibson expressly claims it is historically accurate and contains important   
   'morals of the   
   story'.   
      
   Note his comments at press conferences and in interviews.  Gibson is pushing a   
   political   
   agenda.. he is telling the world that we have lessons to learn from history   
   that can have   
   dire impact on our future if we fail to take heed to the 'lessons of history'   
   that he has   
   chosen to create.   
      
   twisted..  create a fictional image.. declare it is real.. claim we must   
   believe at our   
   peril.
