FILM DESCRIPTION:
Jesus (Willem Dafoe), a humble Judean carpenter beginning to see that he is the son of God, is drawn into revolutionary action against the Roman occupiers by Judas (Harvey Keitel) -- despite his protestations that love, not violence, is the path to salvation. The burden of being the savior of mankind torments Jesus throughout his life, leading him to doubt. As he is put to death on the cross, Jesus is tempted by visions of an ordinary life married to Mary Magdalene (Barbara Hershey).

I love this side of Martin Scorsese, he is not just about Gansters and the underworld, he also has deep philosophical films

[KingEgyptian]

For some reason hearing Jesus say, "Step into my circle so I can pull your tongue out." to Satan is too cool.

[lastson]

You know, I'm something of a Messiah myself

[calebnorris]

Absolutely shocked Willem Defoe was cast as Jesus and not Satan

Jewish High Priests: “Finally we got rid of that Jesus of Nazareth guy!”

Jesus 3 days later: “OUT AM I????”

[michaelzane]

YOU WANNA KNOW HOW MUCH I'VE SACRIFICED?

[TTony-tudm]

Defoe should have won the Oscar for this role. He was fantastic. But the controversy killed any chance of that.

[BushyHairedStranger]

The soundtrack Peter Gabriel created for Last Temptation invokes so much depth and beauty that many people were weeping openly in theaters upon the films release in 1989. I’m proud to say that after 30 years of watching this film it still brings me tears of joy, an incredibly unique & powerful film. Dafoe at his best!!

[killapositionz]

he drew the circle to protect him from sea bears

[saedrix]

Given this was the 80’s, they actually had to blow up a snake.

God: “You’re out Jesus”

Jesus: “What? No you can’t do this to me….. I started this religion….. YOU KNOW HOW MUCH I SACRIFICED?!?!?!”

[KENACT]

The devil is a lion, and judging by the accent, from Brooklyn?

[themessenger]

"You're an amazing creature, Jesus. You and I are not so different."

[robertemanuel]

Look Simba. Everything the light touches is our kingdom.

[lawrencegroves]

The snake was lust the lion is pride and I think the fire is envy, all representations of corruptable behavior in SIN.

[bread]
