Martin Scorsese on The Last Temptation of Christ [deutsch untertitelt]

[deutsch untertitelt]

[@rockerdax]

Scorsese didn't just make a movie about Christ, he made a movie about Man. A story of man's struggle to do what is righteous in the face of so many worldly temptations. I love the film.

[@randaljbatty]

As an agnostic, I came out of the film barely suppressing the tears in my eyes. It portrayed Jesus in a way that has never been done before or since. It gave me a new appreciation of Jesus that I could not have attained elsewhere. I went on to read the novel by Nicholas Kazantzakis -- and I never felt closer to the figure of Jesus than from these depictions. So many condemned the film (and probably the novel), but even though the story is not based on scripture, their exploration of man as god was very moving to me. To those who condemn the film and perhaps the novel upon it which it was based, I have to say if such tales can move you closer to Jesus, is this a bad thing? We should all know something about the life and probable torments of Jesus -- whether you are are a believer or not. Depicted in a fictional manner, it enabled me to see the possibility of a real Jesus. The film and novel enhanced my sense of spirituality -- and for me, this was a good thing. These fictional outlets changed my stubborn thinking.

[@toddvandell85]

Thor Odinson Nikos Kazantzakis was the novelist's name, not Nicholas. Leaving that aside, your post makes many excellent points. I myself am a Christian but have tended to stay away from much of organized religion because for me it can seem tragically narrow minded and a lot of my personal beliefs far too often clash with those of my church. Anyway. I think that, for me, at very least Christians who have not seen this movie should see it before judging it. Primarily because, in spite of the fact that this is a fictional account of the life of Christ, it was based upon Kazantzakis's own belief structure and, I feel, more fully explains Christ's role in Christianity and why he lived and died as he did. God needed Jesus to die on the cross for the sins of ALL mankind past, present, and future. That is an insanely heavy burden for one man, no matter whether he is the divine son of God or not, whether he knows it or not from the day he was born. Think about the current population of the planet hovering in the neighborhood of 8 billion people. That is a lot of souls and a lot of sin to heap on one person so his death can redeem ALL of our sins, now and forever. But the most important aspect of this whole process was that Jesus be born and raised as a human being, full of all the wants and desires and even sins that we mortal non divine humans experience every day. God believed that it was not enough for Jesus to simply come to earth and sacrifice himself on the cross without first living amongst us as a flawed imperfect human being. Jesus had to understand and fully relate to ALL the sins and temptations we ordinary humans experience on a daily basis, so his death to save us all from our sins could have more meaning, and more emotional, spiritual impact. Jesus had to experience temptation. He had to experience doubt. He had to live his life exactly as we live our lives, in order that the enormous magnanimity of his sacrifice on the cross for our sins could truly mean something. If you remember from your bible readings, or even if you don't, there was a moment where Jesus had a bit of a heart to heart chat with God from the Garden of Gethsemane. Jesus was like "If this cup could pass me by..." basically his way of saying "okay, God...Dad, look, I really don't want to die right now and I don't feel like I'm ready to assume the mantel of this very heavy burden you want me to just accept willingly and unquestioningly. I know this is my destiny and all that but does it really have to be tonight, like right now?" And the movie humanizes Christ even further by allowing Jesus to see what his life might be like if the cup could indeed pass him by. He could be happily married to Mary Magdalene, they could have a houseful of children, and they could grow old together, and life as an ordinary human certainly looks very, very appealing...and tempting. And THAT's what I love about the movie especially. It actually shows us what Jesus might have seen as an alternative to being the savior of ALL mankind, but also that while he is seeing this alternate reality, he has that lightbulb moment where he's like "Oh...But, if I do THIS, if I take THIS path, this one selfish act will lead to the downfall and demise of ALL humankind as we know it." Because we humans will never be able to be granted forgiveness for our sins unless Christ DOES sacrifice himself on the cross so we CAN be forgiven. He needs that moment of clarity to help him realize that he has to do this for us, this entirely SELFLESS act, or no one will be able to be forgiven for their sins. Can you imagine what that particular prayer request conversation might sound like if Jesus had not realised the enormous importance of what he had to do and decided he wanted to just be a normal, mortal human for just a little while longer? Be like a phone call to customer service with a little extra twist to it. "Oh. I am so sorry. We are actually unable to forgive your sins today. No, sorry, tomorrow is not looking so good, either. Well, as it happens, Jesus kinda decided he just wasn't up for it today, so it seems he's called off sick for the day. Yeah. Check back with us maybe sometime next week or the week after, we're not entirely certain. As you can probably imagine, we are experiencing an exceptionally high volume of requests for sin forgiveness right now. But I have added your name to our wait list and hopefully we will get to you at some point soon here. Keep in mind, the wait list is getting longer every day Jesus remains out sick.. I know. We are all doing the best we can under the circumstances right now but there may be a protracted delay while we go through this wait and see process. We thank you for your patience and understanding during this uncertain transition period." Fortunately, we don't have to go through all of that because Jesus knew what he needed to do and stepped up and did it. So we now only need to ask that our sins be forgiven and they are. No wait list long lines or uncertainty. And THAT's what makes this movie SO powerful for me. It shows the process Jesus went through for us and showed that even though he had two roads to choose from, one very tempting and appealing to his human side, and one where he knew he was fulfilling the destiny that had been set in place for him before he was born. But he HAD to have those choices placed before him, in order to fully experience the contradicting impulses between making the right decision or making the wrong decision as we humans have to go through every single day of our lives. And when you SEE Jesus have that A-HA moment in the movie? It's overwhelmingly powerful. Because we see his decision was one he absolutely had to NOT take lightly or take for granted or the end result and all of history would be altered irrevocably, quite literally forever. Helluva burden to be saddled with but the sacrifice would have been meaningless without that knowledge. That revelation. And I loved that the movie shows exactly what Jesus went through right up until the very end. And it showed the more human flawed side of Judas Iscariot as well. Ultimately Judas was the only one Jesus could trust to carry out the task of betraying Jesus so he COULD be captured and crucified. Jesus was right. All the other disciples would have tried to be heroic and save Jesus. Jesus knew he needed to die and he needed to be betrayed so he could be nailed up to the cross. Judas was the only one strong enough to do that distasteful task. It did not make him exactly heroic, but the part he played was an important one, and that was why Jesus entrusted Judas with that daunting task. Judas still was overwhelmed with the guilt of what he had done, but for me the movie makes Judas a bit more sympathetic and not just as the ultimate biblical black hat we are so often led to believe he was. It made Judas more three dimensional and less the two dimensional cardboard cutout of evil we were raised to believe he was. It was a hated, thankless task and, in the end, the guilt of his actions still consumed him and overwhelmed him and he could not bear the burden of the guilt any longer and concluded his existence. But without Judas, Christ would not have been crucified and Christ's ultimate destiny would have gone unfulfilled. And that is the true beauty of the film. It shows the importance of all the players in this extremely important story. And I feel like if people can't see that, they're missing out because they just don't get it. Scorsese and Kazantzakis got it. And they shared that divine inspiration with us. (And the most subversive temptation is NOT the one we see coming, like Satan tempting Christ for 40 days and 40 nights in the desert. The most subversive temptation is the temptation WE request ourselves. And we don't see it because there is no external force exerting its pull on us ala Satan saying "just look at all the great stuff I will give you if you would just worship me.")

[@carrikrueger9696]

The book 'Rabbi Jesus' is also very informative about Jesus in his life as a Hebrew man, and reconciling that with his role in life/politics...

[@gabrielmarquez603]

Thor Odinson - toddvandell85 you two wrote beautifully. Like dang, never knew a movie could hold such wisdom. I'm a relatively new Christian. I actually don't exactly know what to say about the film because it dawned on me as being extraordinarily profound. Especially with how it relates to my belief. For once I could empathize with Christ and sort of understand his pain. If only I could ever pull through with the same strength in God. Which I believe is at the core of every Christian's road. Because we abide in Christ, we must almost bare the same torment of temptation. I don't quite understand it. I'd have to think through it a bit and also go through my own experiences and read the scriptures, for I've always struggled to understand why shedding the sinful flesh has to be so painful and so difficult to pull off. Only Christ could go the distance. And yet we have opportunity to emulate him, but never truly *be* him because only he is the divine son of God. The movie touched me, that's for certain. You don't often find this way of talking in the churches. They'll reject any thought that doesn't frame Jesus as the *perfect human being* Which he is, but he was also *a human being* and suffered through the same temptations we face everyday. And that made me understand Christ a bit more. Understand what price he payed. And what flesh he turned from. Thanks, I'd definitely have to think about all this through my own lifetime for not even I truly understand it fully. But may God bless you all, atheists agnostics and christians alike 🙏

[@joni1405]

@Christian Tompkins Then why did Jesus say "God, why have you forsaken me?" I've never understood the orthodox Catholic idea that Jesus was literally God - if that's the case, it makes no logical sense why he would, for a moment, feel forsaken by God as he died on the cross. First off, the line implies that he is separated from God since he is talking to an outside being. Secondly, the line implies that Jesus does not WANT to die but is doing so because it is his duty and in that moment felt as if his Lord had abandoned him because the pain was so severe. I think Scorsese's depiction of an unsure Christ dying for the sins of man is not only completely accurate to the Biblical account of the crucifixion, but is a beautiful depiction of a man dying for the good of others despite having the lack of certainty native to all human beings.

I felt that Scorsese is right. If you are a doubter this movie gave you even more to believe in. We left the church years ago and the one thing church gives you is that close proximity to other believers. We have not regretted leaving the church, but have to work harder to keep Jesus front and center. It can be especially hard in a world where hatred seems to be growing. He came to show us love was the answer. The religious don't always follow Jesus no matter how much they pretend to.

Jesus' life should be interpreted by each and every one of us alone, not by any churches. This is his interpretation, we should respect that.

[@mmkelly222]

+Alasdair M The Gosple should not be twisted or altered from the original text or meaning, if Jesus came down or off from the cross, there would be no salvation...it would be null and void...the saving of peoples soul from hell.

[@alasdairm5171]

+Martin Kelly The gospel has already been twisted and altered through the editing by the Romans, through the different translations and even the Bible story itself is unclear with four differing opinions in the gospels. Jesus' story is not perfectly told by any means so why shouldn't we today try and put our own interpretation as Matthew, Mark, Luke and John did. If God wanted a perfect explanation of his son's life, he presumably would have given us one story but the Bible is human made, so everything we know can be interpreted.

[@kencoakley3959]

I saw the film at my local cinema in 1988. In those days, the controversy over the film had to do with the news sources saying that it "depicted Jesus coming off the cross and having sex with Mary Magdalene". They made it sound like they were messing around on Golgotha. In the story, he is deceived into believing he God spared his life, marries Mary Magdalene and then Lazarus' sister. He realizes that he was deceived and accepts his divinity. I went into it as a man of faith and came out as a man of faith, who felt closer to Jesus. I would have said that my love of Jesus is unconditional but he gives me so much every day. There were protestors telling me I was going to burn in Hell. Then another one said that there was a bomb in the theater. I responded "Well, if I die in there I will be ready."

He wasn't tempted, temptation ensues from a disparage of human will and Gods Will. "I come not to do my Will but the Will of He who sends me". Jesus was God becoming man, not man becoming God. Trying to become God is an affront to Him.

@@kingkoi6542 “He was in the desert forty days being tempted by Satan.” - Mark 1:13 “For we do not have a high priest who is unable to empathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are, yet he did not sin.” - Hebrews 4:15 Jesus was absolutely tempted, to say he wasn’t is to say the scriptures are lying. Temptation ≠ sin. Giving in to temptation = sin, which Jesus never did. God, however, cannot be tempted. “God cannot be tempted by evil” - James 1:13 Jesus was not “God becoming man” he was God’s human Son, the Messiah. Jesus was/is not God. As you quoted, Jesus did not come to do his will, but God’s. If Jesus was God, there wouldn’t be a distinction in wills.

Temptation insinuates that Jesus struggled, which he did not, he knew his purpose and kept to it. There was no vulnerability and no disparagement for Satan to use... Literally google "is Jesus God?" And it's accepted he is... Jesus himself claimed to be God... John 10:30 "I and the Father are One"... Or maybe I don't understand the difference between "God" and "the son of God"...

It's a terrific movie, but still, very dangerous to an unprepared viewer, because the idea of it is to make Jesus unsure of what he is - uncertain of his destiny and nature. Jusus was God in human form (to me he was, since I'm a Christian), yet according to this story he is a human being, unsure of whether or not he wants to become God. True Jesus had no such problem, because he was God from the moment of his birth, and knew it.

As a believer, I put off viewing this film for decades. There is this feeling among us believers (Christians and I am sure other faiths) that to deviate from spiritual texts in any way is a betrayal of our faith. This film makes it clear from the start that this story is not based on the Bible. Rather, it's a work of fiction ... an exploration of Jesus' spiritual battle told with the use of many metaphors and allegories. Ultimately the goal of the filmmakers is to make Christ more accessible by revealing what would have been his very real human struggles. To that end, I enjoyed the film. For the first time as a Christian, I saw that the spiritual battle Jesus undertakes on the cross is a conflict he very well could have lost. The film delves into the world we would have inherited should that have happened, and it's not a pleasant place. Thank you for the filmmakers for putting this story together. I hope it encourages millions to pick up a Bible or walk into the church and learn the truth about our Lord and savior Jesus Christ.

Even at the crucification, Christ asks “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?” This may not represent doubt or temptation, but surely it represents some mental state of uncertainty which comes from the human aspect of his being (both fully man and fully divine). Edit: don’t like my own use of the word “uncertainty” here. Indeed, a tricky subject.

Yes he was tempted at the cross but remember his words- Not my will but Yours be done father- he didn’t want to die on the cross and he begged his father to withdraw him from having to suffer if there was another way but he was willing to go to the cross if that’s what it cost- and we clearly see that he did.

[@TruthWillSetUsFree]

Terry Silvester Did you ever see this movie?

[@terrysilvester4720]

BretNorman Yeah its very good. Im not religious at all though

[@TruthWillSetUsFree]

I saw this movie when it first hit the box office back in 1988. At that time I would have mostly agreed with you. I am a musician and at the time I had been heavily influenced by Peter Gabriel and still am to some degree. Its probably a good thing not to follow a set religion these days. I do however feel very strongly about the soul and the Truth. Men are really good at being deceitful, using others for their own purposes and the like. I wish you all the Best!

[@jayd4ever]

Terry Silvester why do you think it is fairytale

[@rogerdsouza]

To be honest a very disturbing movie I did see a scene in which Jesus removes his heart physical heart . Do you think he is saying the truth or I can't say I'm deeply hurt because he hay shown something wrong the movie is not honestly made

[@yohei72]

Ironically, the Christians who attacked this movie did more to push people away from their religion than any movie could. It was one of those moments when the nutty and dishonest bigotry of so many Christians was put on display for the world.

[@godaz7777]

Does Martin believe jesus was a real manor just a work of fiction ?subjective therefore Its still more than just an average jesus movie though.The production implies jeusus is real rather than just open minded.However we still don't really see the adult side of the manman of actionman of actionman of actionman of action[5]

As far as I remember this Jesus is the messaih that was originally conceived by Jews. The one who would set them free from the Romans and reassert them as the privilege true sons of God!!

In my opinion, as a man who no longer believes in christianity, this is the best depiction of this story on film that I have seen to date. Probably one of my favorite scorcese films.

Has Oliver Stone produced a Jesus [picture]?

If he has im going to see it

[@linkbiff1054]

No. In fact, I initially thought this movie was directed by Stone.

Dafoe is attractive in the movie though 88'the farmers story is interesting + {market]Do you believe JEsus's life was an open book?

[@bartoszklaczynski2803]

The movie is very controvential. Orthodox and Roman Catholic Church claim that story is heretic. For sure we hardly know Jesus's life before he begins teaching. As a Jude and Rabi he should have a wife and family.

If the Catholic Church didn’t like a pice of art, then it’s probably something worth experiencing. Marty once again proving he’s the GOAT.

He didnt explore the human side of Jesus. It is not human nature to be sinful. Jesus is fully human and Divine not was. Jesus is without sin, we are born in sin. Sin is not human nature it is an affliction. So Jesus was the perfect human

[@warriorv9359]

Scorcesse fucked up on this one

[@pleaseenteraname1103]

The acting is great and the cinematography is stunning. However I personally cannot stand the film yes I am an Orthodox Christian so I’m gonna be extremely biased against the material in the movie. And yes I acknowledge that the movie isn’t trying to be an accurate portrayal of Jesus it’s based on a fictional novel. But still I feel like it’s just an insult to adapt something like that into a movie Jesus is the most influential human to ever exist no one even comes close maybe you could say Aristotle. But I don’t really know who this movie is for either because it’s obviously not for Christians. This is more of a criticism of the novel and not the movie but the movie mixed Jesus to human and that was the problem, it’s trying to deconstruct Jesus down to human and make them like us which is the complete opposite of what the gospels yes yes I know I know the movies not based on the gospels in the novel isn’t attempting to be an accurate depiction of Jesus either but still. We see that Jesus has Temptations in the gospels and Pauls epistles. And Martin Scorsese isn’t that educated when it comes to Christian church history or the history of Christian theology but I’m not really surprised. But he will still be on my favorite filmmakers of all time. Good fellas, Casino, Wolf of Wall Street, taxi driver, King of comedy, The departed, The Irishman, after hours which is a criminally underrated movie. But I’m sorry I just couldn’t enjoy the movie. I have to agree with him though this movie does not affect my faith in any way shape or form. At least he made it up with silence though that was a banger.

[@gts8919]

Sick movie. Scorsese should be ashamed.

[@quipotestcaperecapiat1123]

I'm aw struck that so many of you guys think that he did a good job. This movie is blasphemous, and if anyone really does believe, that Christi thought and did what Scorcesse portrayed, then you don't have true divine faith. No catholic should watch that blasphemous movie!

[@TisDoulos]

That's the problem when plumbers do heart surgery, lawyers fix electrics and directors do theology! 1. No ecumenical council came together to decide what the nature of Christ is, not in this context, the nature of Christ is what it is and is not a matter of human decision. The main problem was the different heresies, it was the heresies the main reason for the councils to come together. So in order to address this disease of people becoming Christians and then altering the theology the ecumenical councils took place in order to state clearly what the right (orthodox) theology is. It is the holy spirit which will guide an ecumenical council into the right theology! Cannot fully explain here how and why. 2. *Christ took our human nature apart from the sin *he was conceived from a virgin young girl who remained virgin (for ever and ever) even after giving birth *she was cleansed from the ancestral sin at the moment of the annunciation *Christ is the second person of the Trinity *and because we cannot separate the Trinity, we call Christ our God, (cannot go to much detail in a youtube comment). So! how can this lad here on this video talk about Christ suffering from temptations! What kind of theology is this! How can God, go under temptation, cause it is God in flesh, born from the holy spirit and a virgin woman, is not one of us who do carry the consequences of Adam's fall! As we say I am John the accountant, Mark the painter etc etc born in flesh and I now that I am and who I am it is the same with Christ. He is the Son of God, the second person of Trinity, how can he suffer from temptations! 3. Christ is God, he took human flesh for specific reasons, as God he knows everything, he knows our flaws and weaknesses, he does not need to sin in order to understand or empathize us. These things said in this video are distorted or better said, demonic!

[@cinematographos]

Amen! 😂

[@TV-FilmCameramanUK]

theres always one batshit crazy christian - and you take that prize today, well done!

[@TisDoulos]

@Thomas Hancock feeding the poor, and visiting the prisoners are not worth much if you call God "a clown"! you cannot do things for the glory of God if you defame and blespheme against God. The Orthodox Faith is a virtue, is a gift, is a requirement. If you deny me in front of men I will deny you in front of my Father! Christ will ask you: You got mad and upset when someone offended your mother. But you didn't care a bit to defend my name! And now you come here, telling me I gave to the poor and did this and that! They offended my name, and you did nothing! What will you answer to this? "we can argue till infnity"! God made the man a man and the woman a woman. A man must be a man! and open his mouth when appropriate and close it when not

[@kingkoi6542]

He wasn't tempted, temptation ensues from a disparage of human will and Gods Will. "I come not to do my Will but the Will of He who sends me". Jesus was God becoming man, not man becoming God. Trying to become God is an affront to Him.

[@yohei72]

Awww, does it hurt your feelings that another Christian gets to offer their own view on the story? Do you need a hankie?

[@FaithInHisBloodOrg]

The movie, "The Last Temptation of Christ" (directed by Martin Scorsese) is satanic. The movie portrays Jesus as a human sinner. This is incorrect. JESUS DID NOT SIN! Jesus Christ was the perfect sacrifice to pay for the sins of man, for those who believe and trust in Him. The movie is yet another slam on God, trying to get man to think he can obtain righteousness without Jesus The Christ! Below, From The King James Holy Bible, Bible Verses About Jesus Did Not Have A Sin Nature! 1 Peter 2 : 2 2 22 Who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth: Hebrews 4 : 1 5 15 For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin. 2 Corinthians 5 : 2 1 21 For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him. 1 John 3 : 5 5 And ye know that he was manifested to take away our sins; and in him is no sin. Hebrews 9 : 1 4 14 How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God? 1 Peter 1 : 1 9 19 But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot: Romans 8 : 3 3 For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh: John 1 : 1 4 14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth. Hebrews 5 : 8 - 9 8 Though he were a Son, yet learned he obedience by the things which he suffered; 9 And being made perfect, he became the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey him; James 1 : 1 3 13 Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man: Romans 6 : 2 3 23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. John 14 : 1 0 10 Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works.

[@linkbiff1054]

It is not satanic. Calm down. It is based on a book by talented Nobel-Prize nominated Greek author. It explores the dual nature of Christ in such a fascinating way that really gets you thinking.

[@FaithInHisBloodOrg]

Christ did not sin. By the way, He paid for all of yours!

[@linkbiff1054]

Nobody ever said He did. This is a book from the imagination of a Greek writer in the mid 1960s. It is a work of fiction that he has reinforced many times. There's even a disclaimer at the beginning of the movie that says (I'm paraphrasing) "The following is not a representation of what's written in the bible, but based on the award winning novel." So nothing to worry about. Kazantzakis is not claiming anything. It is all his own imagination.

[@FaithInHisBloodOrg]

There are man naive people in the world who would think this movie is a correct portal of Christ, which it is not. Therefore, the movie is not good...

[@nothingineternityterms]

The people who blindly rail against a film like this, an honest exploration of the nature of faith and the artist's perspective on the nature of Jesus, do more damage to their faith than a movie ever could.
