at least in the passion movie he was crying "Whyy whyy?" does this really happen in the Bible?

When Jesus was praying to the Father in the Garden of Gethsemane, "Take this cup from me, but not my will, but yours be done," the reason Jesus was in agony wasn't so much because He would die but because He would take upon Himself the sin of the world. Notice in the accounts of His crucifixion when darkness overtakes the daylight and Jesus cries out to the Father, "My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?" (which is right out of Psalm 22) When the Son took the sin of the world upon Himself so that He could offer complete payment for that sin on our behalf, the Father turned away from the Son because the Father could not look at sin. But at the end when Jesus cried out "It is finished!" which in the Greek was the word "tetelestai" which means "the debt is paid in full," Jesus satisfied the Father's demand for payment for sin, and as we know Jesus then rose from the dead on the third day. So to make a short answer long, the Father turned away from the Son when the Son took upon Himself the sin of the world, and the Son was crying out when the Father turned away.

In the Bible, in real history, in real life, He did and extremely so! In Matthews Gospel (that's the first book in the New Testament in most Bibles) Matthew said Jesus was so "troubled in spirit (meaning at that very moment Jesus was hurting mentally, emotionally, physically { ever try to not hurt physically when hurting emotionally and mentally? Ever hear of "being sick to your stomach" because you were hurting so bad?}) that He was sweating so much and so hard that it was if He were sweating blood (that is how it appeared)! In His prayer in the garden He says, "now my soul is troubled". And as well, "if it is possible, please let this cup pass from me" (i.e. I do not wish to suffer), but if it is your will, my Father, I will do it. He did this three times because He knew what was about to happen any minute now. Crucifixion was nothing to "sneeze at", if you will. The Romans were EXPERTS in the field! When criminals were crucified they were not made to enjoy it, obviously. Almost no other way of killing someone is more terrible!
Thank GOD, He didn't stay dead or all of humanity would have had no purpose to exist past Adam and Eve. God would have ended humanity right after they rebelled against Him if Christ was not to come and die, rise, ascend, and continue to work to bring humans back to their Creator.
Does that answer your question?

The author of Hebrews plainly states that Jesus was upset, when he wroite of Him;
Hebrews 5:7-9
7 Who in the days of his flesh, when he had offered up prayers and supplications with strong crying and tears unto him that was able to save him from death, and was heard in that he feared;
8 Though he were a Son, yet learned he obedience by the things which he suffered;
9 And being made perfect, he became the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey him;

In the Bible, Jesus gets all of his "Daddy, do I have to?!" out at Gethsemane when he asks, approximately, "If I don't have to do this, can you please get me out of this." In Christian theology, Jesus is God, incarnate, meaning that he is the physical aspect of God born on this planet. While he was raised by his mother and earthly father, he was still God. That being said, he had the wisdom to understand why he was dying.
To answer the question, there are only 7 separate things that Jesus actually says on the cross. The one listed in the second link as the fourth is "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?" This is the point where Jesus is no longer sinless and God must turn his back on him. He's not asking why he had to do this, just why the close bond to God is no longer there.

If it happened in the bible that doesn't mean it actually happened you know - the bible is hardly a reliable recording of events. I would imagine by that point he would have gone into shock and would not have been up for much protest.
Apparently 'good christian people' were taking their children to see that gorey and dubious film - talk about child abuse

Who wouldn't be upset? I mean, nailed to a piece of wood, and all!
Though the terms, "really happen" and "in the Bible are" a dichotomy, Jesus is purported to have said "My God! My God! Why hast thou forsaken me?" shortly before he died. I guess that wasn't dramatic enough for the movie?
Namaste,

He dies every year on Dec 21st, stays dead for 3 days, and is reborn on Dec. 25th. He's the Sun, a lot of people including Opus Dei Mel Gibson have made a lot of money, and suckered a lot of people with this ancient fable about the Sun in the age of Pisces.

Here's something that may never have occurred to you - Why not actually read the Bible and find out what it says?

Jesus did not die on the cross. His actual words are a famous prayer "Aielee Aielee! Lima Shabkataani" meaning don't let me down!
