I was just surfing around and saw that you
were preaching mainly to yourself--or perhaps
everybody is just lurking. That seemed a shame,
so I thought I'd say hello! I don't consider
myself a very religious person, at least not
anymore, but I hope I still have some level
of spirituality inside me. Anyway, I had a
question for you:
Have you ever seen the movie
THE LAST TEMPTATION OF CHRIST.
Any opinion? Blasphemy?
I rather enjoyed it, found it very
moving--thought Scorsese was respectful
and did a very nice telling of the story.
The Peter Gabriel music was terrific too.
Here is the fist part of cast list off moviecritic.com:
Willem Dafoe...Jesus
Harvey Keitel....Judas
Paul Greco....Zealot
Steve Shill....Centurian
Verna Bloom....Mary, Mother of Jesus
Barbara Hershey....Mary Magdalene
Dafoe was brilliant!
If you have not seen it, you might want
to check it out, would love to hear your
comments. Maybe not as good as the book,
but entertaining, and as I said, very
moving--the crucifixion of course, the
temptation I thought was a trick played
on moviegoers: Jesus was never tempted,
the *viewer* was tempted to imagine another
fate...but it was never even a possibility.
I thought that was very clever, and amusing
that the folks who protested the movie did
not see it that way.
Anyway, as far as your last post, about the
antichrist coming and all that. I can understand
if a person finds clues in the Bible and takes
the Bible at it's word, but I wonder if everything
anti-christ is not already present here on Earth.
Seems to me the Nazi's and Stalin, and maybe this
Milsovitch have served up enough anti-christlikeness
for awhile--I don't see satan showing up quite yet;-) |
