By all accounts, crucifixion was an appalling, ultra-violent way to go.

i don't know why Gibson's film was more violent than the crucifixion actually was, and why the film was so obsessed with pain (and pain as purifier, much like in "braveheart," i thought).

Not knowing Gibson personally, I won't hazard a guess as to his motivations. But from my own perspective, given the relative desensitization to violence in our culture, and given that the point of the film was to get the audience to understand the extent to which He suffered on our behalf, I imagine the intensity of the violence was necessary. (And I'm not sure how much more violent than the actual crucifixion the film was -- I know the co-writer and I know the extent of the research they went to in order to get it right.)
