The Last Temptation of Christ

Boro_Bandito:
So I saw this movie for the first time tonight and the entire time I was thinking to myself "Since when did Willem Dafoe play Jesus? How did I miss this?" That coupled with Harvey Keitel as Judas and it made what was already a pretty artistic piece of modern film one of the strangest things I've seen since, well, last semester when I saw an early Jim Henson avant garde short but since that was the strangest thing I've ever seen this movie ranks up there.

Anybody feel like ressurecting the 80's and talking about this with me? I'm not really sure as to the format of this forum since I don't post in here a lot but someone else has gotta have some sort of viewpoint, especially with this movie, which has got all sorts of (now very old news) controversy in it like the women at the Last Supper and that whole section at the end where Jesus lives out his life as a normal man.

Ravenbomb:
I think it's one of the most (if not THE most) interesting Jesus movie that's been made. It's a really thoughtful exploration of the human side of Christ, something I haven't seen done in any of the movies before. The big stink about "oh, he gets off the cross there!" is unwarranted if you see the very end.

tomselleck69:
yep, it's a good'n.

Boro_Bandito:
It makes you wonder if when it came out Churches were renting out movie theatres for "services" when it came out, like a certain snuff film that I know of.

Johnny C:
"snuff film" is an interesting choice of language
