21+ The Last Temptation Of Christ Judas Pictures. Written by paul schrader with uncredited rewrites from scorsese and jay cocks. He was wounded for our transgressions, yet he opened now his mouth.
Reading my 1988 review of the last temptation of christ, i find it is more concerned with theology than cinema.
Jesus, a humble judean beginning to see that he is the son of god, is drawn into action against the roman occupiers by judas—despite his protestations that love is the path to salvation. It offers an alternative version of the life of jesus christ, starring willem dafoe as jesus, harvey keitel as judas iscariot. 'you will, judas, my brother. Perhaps judas is scorsese's autobiographical character in the last temptation of christ. certainly not the messiah, but the mortal man walking beside him, worrying about him.
