Attacked relentlessly as heretical at its release, Martin Scorsese's fictional rumination on Jesus' inner life is actually a fairly staid interpretation -- and barely less bloody than Mel Gibson's.
The last paragraph of your review summarizes exactly how I feel about the movie. I added it to my list of top movies of all time. Additionally, I own the soundtrack for the film and the inspiration album of music by Peter Gabriel, both of which are fantastic.
The Last Temptation of Christ is a provocative film that challenges traditional interpretations of Jesus, and while the controversy surrounding it was intense, the film's exploration of faith and doubt adds depth to the human experience of divinity. Scorsese's approach to Jesus’ humanity may seem tame now, but its introspective nature remains compelling.
