The film, starring Jim Caviezel as Jesus, is a bloody depiction of Christ's final hours and crucifixion.

What do they mean "depiction"? Is there another version? I wouldn't mind betting that on Wednesday night we saw an incredibly sanitised version of what really happened.

...while some Christian and Jewish leaders complained that it could fuel anti-Semitism by implying Jews were collectively responsible for Christ's death.

I don't think there was an implication that Jesus' community put him to death. It was stated quite clearly. But that is different to saying that Jews were collectively responsible, whatever that means. It had nothing to do with his community being Jewish. Are white people collectively responsible for what Australians did to the aborigines? Is anyone who suggests that a race as a whole is responsible for something even going to be taken seriously? I don't reckon you can find that sort of silliness in the bible. There's lots of other silliness in there, but not that sort. Although it would be interesting to look more.
