The Passion of the Christ
If there was anything that would have told Mel Gibson and Jim Caviezel that they shouldn’t have filmed The Passion of the Christ, it would have been these events. Naturally, nobody seemed to think anything of the fact that Caviezel was contracting numerous skin and lung infections due to his real injuries during the filming process. Mel Gibson stopped at nothing, even when his star suffered from phenomena, insomnia, trauma, hypothermia, and was even struck by lightning on set. Caviezel recovered from his injuries in a timely manner, but he never quite forgot what it was like to be subjected to torture for the sake of art.
