First of all, the film is rated `R', and rightly so. It contains no profanity or sexual material. This movie got it's rating for one reason: incredibly brutal content. After the first 45 minutes or so (which are not a walk in the park), the film launches into some of the most violent scenes I've ever seen on film. There are several reasons the violence is so shocking. First of all, this is not `Friday the 13th' with anonymous victims dying in ways that seem designed to make an audience roll their eyes. The violence in The Passion of The Christ is focused on one person, who takes a beating so severe it seems nearly impossible to believe it actually happened.
Second, the violence is unflinching. James Dobson of Focus On The Family calls it `gut-wrenching'. The camera does not soften the brutality with various angles and cutaways, but instead stays focused on the scenes until it's nearly unbearable.
Last, the violence is hard to watch because it happened to a real person. This movie is based on a true story. As you watch terrible atrocities happening on screen, you can't help thinking `he really went through that'.
