What did you think of The Last Temptation of Christ (1988)

Post Reply New Topic

I just saw it and found it to be a really emotionally powerful experience, and I'm surprised it's not rated higher in Martin Scorsese's work. I might actually call it his personal best movie for me, but I need more time for it to settle in first.

But what do you think of it?

While it was hardly the perfect Biblical account of the life of Christ, it was hardly the vehicle of blasphemy that the fundies and holy rollers had made it out to be. And the fact is, Christ's divinity was never disproved, and in fact was upheld.
