      The hardest fantasy

      As I saw some viewers write: Everything that makes you feel at ease is not the truth.
      In today's world, most phenomena can be explained by science, and more and more people are becoming atheists, which does not mean that they have no faith. But they no longer need illogical myths for consolation.
      After the film was broadcast in Paris, some believers set fire to the theater. It can be said that they are still living in their assumptions and are unwilling to accept the torture of...

    Movie plot

    Under the brutal Roman rule of Israel in the early AD, the people had no livelihood. The carpenter Jesus felt the mission entrusted by God in the dimness. He will be the savior and sacrifice himself to save the world. In accordance with God's call, Jesus, who was believing in doubt, began his own journey of seeking the way.
    During Jesus' journey, he met Judas the insurgent, and the two met together to preach to passers-by. One day,...

    Evaluation action

    "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...

    Movie quotes

    • Jesus: [men are grabbing him, demanding a miracle] Don't touch me! You're filled with hate, get away! God won't help you!

    • Saul: You see, you don't know how much people need God. You don't know how happy He can make them. He can make them happy to do anything. Make them happy to die, and they'll die, all for the sake of Christ. Jesus Christ. Jesus of Nazareth. The Son of God. The Messiah. Not you. Not for your sake. You know, I'm glad I met you. Because now I can forget all about you. My Jesus is much more important and much more powerful.

    • Jesus: [Opening lines] The feeling begins. Very tender, very loving. Then the pain starts. Claws slip underneath the skin and tear their way up. Just before they reach my eyes, they dig in. And I remember. First I fasted for three months. I even whipped myself before I went to sleep. At first it worked. Then the pain came back. And the voices. They call me by name. Jesus.
