Facing "The Last Temptation of Christ"

"The Last Temptation Of Christ" is translated into "The Last Temptation of Christ". Although it is not a true biblical story, Martin Scorsese gives us a good perspective on religion. Martin and the original author gave Jesus the role of an ordinary person. He has forbearance of love, confusion about self and the world, and a desire for basic human security.

I really like the end of this story. Jesus, who was nailed to the cross, showed a moment of hesitation in the face of the so-called mortal ending that he believed in and told him by his heavenly father. This made him see it, and heavenly father sent angels to save himself. He has lived the life of an ordinary person. He has a large family under a small roof, and he waits for aging and death in an idle manner.

At this time, Judas appeared and told him that we had said that we would follow the instructions of our heavenly Father and move towards death firmly, but you chose to live the life. Jesus explained that the heavenly Father sent angels to rescue himself. Maybe his destiny was not. Must die. Judas asked: Is she really an angel? So the angel became Satan.

The late Jesus was shocked, moving his haggard body, praying to his heavenly Father to let him return to the original cross, willing to die, willing to be the father's son, and willing to do all righteousness.

So he returned to the cross as he wished, waiting for death with satisfaction.

In fact, I think all of this is very interesting. Who is Satan and who is the Father, what kind of life I should live, whether life is a blessing or torture, death is a destination or a curse, and what is wrong in my inner voice? , Who Knows?

Ask ourselves less questions. Asking more will only get more questions, not answers.

    Scorsese endowed Jesus with a lot of human characteristics, and he would also be confused and even tempted. Judas, who has always shown himself as a betrayal, was more or less washed out in the film, and the reversal at the end was even more brilliant.

The Last Temptation of Christ quotes

  • 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.
