The death of Christ is the purpose of the story- of the whole bible even, and beyond.
The whole story is very human. You dont need to be a believer in the water to wine, son of god, to relate to the dedication to personal beliefs, the will and struggle to do good, the passion of love and hate, the adventures along the way....
About the other comment about the millions of lifes taken in the name of Christ- let's not forget the trillions taken without that name-
The same could be said about any war movie. Belief in God's name didn't take lives, nor does it rape children, human misconception and human individuals did so.
That's like saying all muslims are terrorist, all black people eat watermellon, all Pollacks are stupid, all corporate offices steal money (well maybe) ...whatever.
Not that it's anyones business but I do not follow any religion personally but see this as a historical story, even if a fictious one it's been talked of for 2,000 years-
The trick is this is not a movie based on religion no more really than the series Hilter was based on the Nazi's. It's a movie based on a person and the "story" of that individuals life as told by many.
