It's one of the things that Christians are to remember. His sacrafice is very important to the faith as it is a symbol of his love of all man that he gave his life to cleanse us of our sins.

Note, though, that this isn't the only thing Christians are supposed to remember. There is no Cliff's Notes to the Bible. Christians are supposed to remember it all. (I say all this knowing that I am no theologian with in depth study of the Bible, but I believe even so that such a point has been made clear through my own personal study so far.) As I said before, this movie is not a biography of his whole life or the founding precepts of his teachings; but it is, instead, a film to stir up the emotions of Christians in relation to the Crucifixion and just what that sacrifice entailed. We are about 2000 years seperated from this event, and the power of the visual can help reaffirm the written word.

It tends to put you immediately at a disadvantage and IMO is a sign of true weakness.
