An excerpt from Brian's post on The Passion:

One of my favorite scenes was when Jesus was with his mother Mary, and had just built a table. After that, it shows Jesus joking around and splashing water on Mary. This too, is not in the Bible, but the scene added to the movie by showing that Jesus was in fact a human, and portrayed him as an everyday guy, just like one of us.
A.O. Scott's criticism of the film is well-founded. It is focused on the relentless savagery of Jesus' final hours, and it is a painful, depressing spectacle. However, to say the movie lacks in grace would be ignorant to the message. Gibson made the movie not to teach of Jesus and who he was, but rather assumed the viewer would already know, or after the movie would want to find out. The movie was intended to be this way, to make us all realize what actually happened, and the real brutality of it. The whole message delivered by the movie is one of grace and love. Anyone who denies that misses the whole point.
