Does anyone know if the woman in John 8 has traditionally been believed to be Mary magdalene?

Why did Mel Gibson depict her as the Woman in Passion of the Christ?

I am just curious

Merry Christmas everyone.
 
The association of the Woman in John 8 and Mary Magealene is an early Christian tradition, but it has never bee taught by the Church. Many (if not most) theologians and Bible scholars (both protestant and Catholic) do not believe this association is accurate, though the idea seems to have more traction among the folks in the pew.

What happens in movies, though, is often done with “artistic license.”
