Jesus, a humble Judean carpenter beginning to see that he is the son of God, is drawn into revolutionary action against the Roman occupiers by Judas -- despite his protestations that love, not violence, is the path to salvation. The burden of being the savior of mankind torments Jesus throughout his life, leading him to doubt. As he is put to death on the cross, Jesus is tempted by visions of an ordinary life married to Mary Magdalene.

convinced that willem dafoe as jesus, david bowie as pontius pilate, and harvey keitel as judas with an italian-american accent shouting “whaddaya doin building crosses?” is historically accurate and that this was not a fiction but a documentary
I worship Paul Schrader, even though Paul Schrader has made it clear in multiple films that I shouldn’t worship Paul Schrader.
Before I begin, I would like everyone to understand that I grew up in a strictly Christian background (which I am thankful for and still adhere to). So when I speak about my beliefs, I'm not attempting to generalize everyone in the same boat as I am, religiously speaking, but rather I am trying explain the environment and beliefs that I personally was raised on (which, again, I still stick to and am eternally grateful for).
I avoided Martin Scorsese's The Last Temptation of Christ for years because I was under the impression that it was a direct butchering of biblical facts. I was assuming that Scorsese was taking what God explicitly had written in the Bible and twisted it…
harvey keitel as judas be like eeeyyyyyy jesus i’m prayin here now kiss me square on the mouth you sonofabitch
Ironically, it is this mortal treatment of Jesus as a man that makes me more willing to think of him as a divine figure than the purified Gospels.
Unbelievable to me that Christians were offended by this movie, which takes seriously the idea that Christ was fully human and fully divine, and portrays him as scared and conflicted and joyous and even angry as he is in the Gospels. An incredibly compelling take on the Christian story, and one of Scorsese’s best, imo.
“I'm a liar. A hypocrite. I'm afraid of everything. I never tell the truth. I don't have the courage. When I see a woman, I blush and look away. But inside I have lust. For God, I smother the lust, and that satisfies my pride. But my pride destroys Magdalene. I never steal or fight or kill; not because I don't want to but because I'm afraid. I want to rebel against everything, everybody...against God! But I'm afraid. If you look inside me you see fear, that's all. Fear is my mother, my father, my God.”
Faith in flux. The constant is revolution. [35mm]
say what you will about this film, but you have to admire the stroke of genius that led to the casting of Willem Dafoe in his very own biopic
I will not call Willem Dafoe hot as Jesus I will not call Willem Dafoe hot as Jesus I will not call Willem Dafoe hot as Jesus I will not call Willem Dafoe hot as Jesus I will not call Willem Dafoe hot as Jesus I will not call Willem Dafoe hot as Jesus I will not call Willem Dafoe hot as Jesus I will not call Willem Dafoe hot as Jesus I will no
