Thanks for the Dave Poland link. That was an interesting viewpoint from a non-christian. And that's the kind of thing I'm questioning. On one hand I agree that it is shock therapy for Christians to see and know Of Christ's suffering, but there's more to being a Christian than that. It's about the teachings before the Crucifiction and what followed. Sure the act of crucifiction was the sacrifice for salvation but does it really have to be shown with multiple beatings? Yes, Christ was broken but he lives again and there isn't much reason I can see to keep having not just 10 minutes of film but well over and hour devoted to that. All this movie seems to be doing is re-living those particular moments over and over again.
