"The Last Temptation of Christ" has always been considered a banned film by the religious world, but at least its general clues are still retelling most of the plot in the Old Testament. Christ is the son of God, wearing the will of God to save Jerusalem and its humanity. Possessing various miracles, and finally going to the cross to atone for mankind’s sins in accordance with the destiny, but before the crucifixion, in order to dispel the pain of the flesh, imagine that if you were not crucified on the cross but married and had children like mortals, Yixiang Tiannian, sick and dying around his wife and children, watching the destruction of mankind in the sacred fire of the heavenly Father how it feels. This is the so-called last temptation, Christ's last hesitation before dying on the cross.

The whole plot of the movie is shocking to subvert the ethics. Duke is a humble carpenter. He made a cross for the Romans to crucify the members of the Jewish resistance organization in order to make a living. He lived all day under the scolding of his compatriots. In order to get rid of the inner pressure, He seeks out the prostitute Maria to send the distress, and for this reason he often suffers from migraines, auditory and visual hallucinations. Judas is a loyal member of the Jewish resistance organization. He was ordered to punish the Jewish traitor Christ. At the moment of life and death, Christ claimed to be the son of God and messenger Messiah in Jewish legends for his life. His illegitimate identity happened to be Proof of the Son of God. Judas hesitated in doubt, and finally believed in Christ's words, and wanted to follow him until he saved the Jewish nation, but he warned Christ that if he deviated from the cause of Jewish liberation, Judas would not hesitate to kill him. So, Christ took up his suitcase and said goodbye to his family and went to the desert to listen to God’s will. After ten days and nights in the desert, his auditory and visual hallucinations became more serious. He saw the snake crawling over and thought it was Satan’s temptation. When I arrived at the campfire, I thought it was the incarnation of the devil. I was too thirsty and imagined that there were apple trees growing around. I imagined myself holding an axe in my hand to chop the trees in order to eat the apples. Finally I couldn’t stand it and ran out of the desert and told the waiting Judas that God had given him. An axe asked him to launch an uprising. Judas told the resistance organization that he felt that this Christ was half crazy and he didn't know whether he was alive or dead. He believed that he was a child of God just because he could use it as a cover for the revolution, so he organized it. A group of people followed and monitored Christ to mobilize the masses and preach the principles of the revolution. The first thing Christ wanted to save was Maria, who had had a physical relationship with him. This prostitute happened to be paraded by the Jewish crowd to be punished to death by pebbles. Christ came forward and said the famous passage in the Bible, He who without sins casts the first stone. At the same time, they confessed the crime of adultery with prostitutes deep down in shame. Most of the local men also had an affair with this woman, but they hated her for serving outsiders and dedicated to Roman soldiers, wanting to kill her to restore the dignity of the Jewish nation. At this time, everyone felt ashamed and put down the stone, so Maria served by Christ from now on, joined the revolutionary ranks, and embarked on the road of revolution. Christ continued to preach revolutionary ideas along the way, but the common people felt that he had ulterior motives for letting them risk their lives against the Roman rule, and rushed stones to respond. Judas and other revolutionary comrades felt that the people were not very conscious and must implement something. Deception was used to achieve the goal, so I came to a family where a wedding was being held and wanted to explain the truth of the revolution to them, and secretly investigated that the family’s poorer wine served guests only an altar of water. Judas and several other revolutionary comrades At his own expense, he secretly changed the water into wine, and then encouraged Christ to let him use his divine power to turn the water into wine. Christ was in a semi-dazzled state all day long. When he was slightly hinted, there would be auditory and visual hallucinations, and a pious "practice". Thinking of his success, he has since believed in his own "divine power". The family also worshipped Christ and preached everywhere that the Jewish Messiah had come to the world. The confidence of several revolutionary comrades including Judas increased greatly and decided to continue to follow the law and found a beggar. He said two Roman gold coins to make him pretend to be blind, and ask Christ for divine power. Christ did the same. The "blind" yelled and said that he had recovered. Walking to a funeral, Judas hired a tomb robber to get into the tomb and hide, and then encouraged Christ to perform the divine power of "resurrecting the dead". Sure enough, the bandage of the mummy on the tomb robber's face was pulled out of the tomb by Christ. Although the family members of the deceased looked at the living beings not like their own relatives, they were shocked to say nothing. Therefore, the guerrillas of the Jewish resistance organization led by Judah became the fastest growing among all the detachments, and the superiors decided to liberate them. The uprising in Jerusalem started ahead of schedule, so Christ came to the temple in the holy city to preach the revolutionary principles to the people, and called for an uprising to overthrow the Roman rule. They also suppressed it. They felt that the Romans were reliable and sent an army to suppress it. The revolutionary masses were crushed before they started, and the uprising failed. Judas admitted to his superiors that he had incorrectly estimated the revolutionary situation. He did not correctly estimate that the local Jewish upper class also sided with the Romans and demanded that they bear responsibility and be punished. The superiors analyzed the situation and believed that Judah was not responsible, which caused the party committee to misassess the situation and did not realize the cruelty and long-term nature of the revolutionary struggle. In order to preserve the long-term lurking of revolutionary fire, they decided to take Christ as a scapegoat. The sheep were handed over to the Romans to be killed, so that the Romans would temporarily stop chasing and killing revolutionary comrades. Secondly, the death of Christ could deepen the people’s hatred of the Roman devils. Thirdly, it could fulfill a new legend that Christ was dead. Atonement for mankind is that God made arrangements to allow all the Jewish masses to go to heaven after death. In this way, ordinary people in the revolutionary movement would not be afraid of death, because they can go to heaven when they die. Four times this Christ saw the revolutionary masses being slaughtered and scared. After breaking his guts, he began to shake the revolution and his revolutionary mission. The party organization wanted to kill him for fear that he would say anything that was not conducive to the revolutionary movement. Borrowing the Roman cross really served multiple purposes. At this time, Judas was suggesting and encouraging Christ again, so this Christ agreed to take part in this suicide action, and let Judas take the initiative to go to the Romans to denounce him in order to go to the cross to die. Judas accepted the organization's dispatch and successfully allowed the Roman soldiers to find Christ and arrest him, and from then on smoothly penetrated into the enemy's interior. Later, they lurked for a long time and provided a large amount of valuable information for the revolutionary movement. Poor Christ didn’t wake up from his obsession until he went to the cross and he was nailed to the cross. He realized that he had become a victim of the revolutionary movement. He saw two comrades who died with him were also nailed to the cross. The revolutionary movement was completely discouraged and disappointed, and began to fantasize about the happy time of having an affair with Maria, a prostitute, and imagined that if I did not participate in the revolution, I would earn enough money to make a Roman man-made cross to marry another wife and have a group of children, and lead a disgraceful but prosperous life slowly. Old death, why do you want to embark on this road of no return? These imaginations can't change his fate of being a victim of the revolution, but they can free him from some suffering on the cross. Finally, after a day and night of torture, Christ finally died on the cross. After his death, Judas bought the Roman soldier who looked at the corpse. Stealing the body of Christ, burying a stone in the tomb, and then spreading rumors that Christ was resurrected, the bewitched revolutionary masses opened the tomb and did not find the dead body and believed that it was true. Since then, Christ has lived deeply in the revolutionary masses. From the bottom of their hearts, they inspired them to resist the rule of the Roman Empire from generation to generation. Until the successful revolution, the Roman Empire was overthrown, and Christ was officially chased as a revolutionary martyr. His monuments and memorial halls were established all over the country. Every December 25 On the birthday of Christ, revolutionary people all over the world spontaneously organized to commemorate this great revolutionary martyr and cherish his revolutionary spirit in fighting the Roman devils bravely and unyieldingly. However, all kinds of revolutionary propaganda about Christ for two thousand years have chosen to avoid the description of his true inner world, deliberately portraying him as a brave, unyielding, persevering and tenacious revolutionary fighter. Now this film truly reflects Reflecting a great warrior's hesitation before death under pain and torment will not destroy its tall image at all. On the contrary, the mentality of ordinary people like flaws can reflect the extraordinary characteristics of leaders. The positive reflection of Comrade Judah in the film also makes this unsung hero who fights in the heart of the enemy comfort in the spirit of heaven. This film has a highly educational role in the history and tradition of revolutionizing the people. It can inspire young people to have a deep understanding of the hard-won truth of today's revolution. It is a rare help in fostering the great ideal of serving the motherland from an early age and devoting oneself to the revolution at all times. It is recommended that local government leaders seriously organize observations, conduct in-depth discussions, and combine the current suicide movement of the Iraqi people and the Afghan people against the US imperialist aggression to strengthen the ideological education of dedication to the revolution, and strive to cultivate a large number of people who dare to regard death as a revolutionary ideal. The successor of socialism.

I am hungry and want to vomit.

    I've never been a fan of Scorsese, this one is ok

    The Christ played by Willem Dafoe can be seamlessly connected with the Van Gogh he interprets in "The Gate of Eternity". Even the complex relationship with Judas is like a reverse intertext between Van Gogh and Gauguin. Perhaps because of the subject matter, many people mistakenly think that Martin is a melodrama director, but in fact he has no interest in all the clever suspense designs and dramatic reversals. The "reversal force" felt by the audience actually comes from his The meticulous practice of his own psychoanalytic theory, his portrayal of each character is like a long and painful psychotherapy. Every time a layer is removed, the audience's understanding and empathy for the characters will suddenly rise to a new level, and all the skilled technical means are aimed at helping the characters enter such a private space where they can pour their hearts out.

  • Jesus: Today and tomorrow I cast out demons and work cures. On the third day, I will be perfected.

  • Jesus: Judas, my brother, I have something to tell you. I have a terrible secret from God. You know why I came to Jerusalem?

    Judas: Yes. This is where the revolution is going to begin.

    Jesus: Last night, Isaiah came to me. He had a prophecy, I saw it written. It said, "He has borne our faults; he was wounded for our transgressions, yet he opened now his mouth. Despised and rejected by all, he went forward without resisting, like a lamb led to the slaughter."

    Judas: I don't understand.

    Jesus: Judas, I am the lamb. I'm the one who's going to do.

    Judas: Die? You mean you're not the Messiah?

    Jesus: I Am.

    Judas: That can't be. If you're the Messiah, why do you have to die?

    Jesus: Listen, at first, I didn't understand myself...

    Judas: No, *you* listen. Every day, you have a different plan. First it's love, then the ax, and now you have to die. What good could that do?

    Jesus: God only talks to me a little at a time and tells me as much as I need to know.

    Judas: We need you alive!

    Jesus: Now I finally understand! All my life-all my life, I've been followed by voices, by footsteps, by shadows. And do you know what that shadow is? The cross. I have to die on the cross, and I have to die willingly. We have to go back to the temple.

    Judas: And after you die on the cross, what happens then?

    Jesus: I come back to judge the living and the dead.

    Judas: I don't believe you.

    Jesus: You have to.
