actually, the romans didn't kill him; they flogged him which was standard procedure for all people arrested
the jews brought Jesus to pilate and pilate said that he found no cause to kill him
then, he gave them a choice: the murderer Barabas or Jesus because he thought they would choose Jesus
But they chose to kill Jesus
pilate said he washed his hands of Jesus' blood and he gave him back to the people
and Jesus did forgive them but there was judgement passed down
because they said 'let HIS blood be on the hands of our children and our children's children'
my family is composed of messianic jews
this is how i read the story in history books and the Bible
as for the hating Jewish people more, people already hated them even before Jesus was born
people hated them after Jesus' resurrection
Jews have been taking persecution since forever
this movie won't ignite that much of a big controversy anyway
because most people scream they don't believe in Him
or they believe He existed but that He wasn't the Messiah
