and i don't remember much of the movie ... maybe cause 80% of it was just flogging and killing etc.
but i have a hard time thinking of it as like a majority of the jewish people in that time being purposefully malicious. but if maybe say they were just the poor jews and promised food ... or some sort of motivation, i could definately see that. hunger makes you do crazy things >.<
*sigh* not quite. It was a power situation. There was a very specific group of Jews who saw him as a threat to their power and even went so far as to break Judaic law in order to permenantly remove him. A group. A small, elitist, group. That's it. There were far more Jews that supported him... that's what made him a threat. (all according to the Bible) From what I heard the movie reflected that. Nothing more or less.
