"The Last Temptation of Christ" is very bold in adapting the characters of Jesus and Judas. Director Martin Scorsese, as a devout Catholic, has always been unremittingly discussing religion in his works, but Scorsese has shown his own Jesus to the world through movies. Although Jesus in the film still has extraordinary powers, he is different from the past in that he is often contradictory, confused, and tempted by mistakes like ordinary people. The film gives Jesus more human characteristics
.
"The Last Temptation of Christ" constructs a story like "the history of Jesus' spiritual growth". In the story, Jesus is no longer a loving image, but a mortal with seven passions and six desires. In the film, Jesus was timid and hesitant, liked fantasy, and was easily tempted by mistakes. He even married and had children like ordinary people. This bold transformation caused the film to arouse a lot of controversy after it was released
