I watched this over the course of two nights. I enjoyed it.
I understand it was a greek novel first. I started the novel on a kindle sample, and I may read the whole novel, but the ending to the movie was the pinnacle of the whole concept for me.
The encounter with a still living uncrucified Jesus with an unphased road to Damascus Paul was terrific. The last seconds of the film was one of the better endings I have seen in a film.
David Bowie played Pontius Pilate.
I had some respect for Scorsese as a filmmaker, but I never connected to a film he made as I did with this one.
Interestingly, the film was on tv to capitalize on Gibson's Passion when I was a teenager, and I remember having vehement hate for its depiction of Christ.
It is a good thought-piece despite it's blasphemous portrayal of Christ.
Have you seen it?

severely interested in seeing Terrence Mallick's "A Hidden Life" which depicts the martyr life of a Catholic conscientious objector to the third reich.
the title appeals to me. despite being two of the most important people in Christian history, little is known of the hidden lives of Joseph and Mary.
Jgersttter was a true catholic in a time of cowards

yes, but we were also sent to fundamentalist bible camps every summer for 7-8 years
we were unhappy about being confirmed, but when i protested my father slapped the shit out of me.
ironically, my father doesn't practice catholicism now and i do. charlie's a biblical literalist and doesn't attend services.
i was taking him to mass, but he disrespected some of the priests verbally and doesn't believe in Mary.
you can't know Jesus without Mary and Joseph. it's impossible. Jesus loves Mary. that's his mother. He loves Joseph, that's his foster father.
confession is another bugaboo for charlie. confession adminstered correctly is godly. many parish priests butcher the sacrament.

technically roman catholicism uses both, but having the crucified christ is essential in establishing the importance of living a sacificial life, one not borne of personal excess.
the "happy christian" stereotype of modern evangelicals where god is a magical panacea and all opposers to them are demonic is not necessarily christian.
jim caviezel did a good talk about how the life of the christian is one largely of suffering

Andrei Tarkovsky
The greatest filmmaker of all-time was a Christian
quote:
My discovery of Tarkovsky's first film was like a miracle. Suddenly, I found myself standing at the door of a room the keys of which had until then, never been given to me. It was a room I had always wanted to enter and where he was moving freely and fully at ease. I felt encountered and stimulated: someone was expressing what I had always wanted to say without knowing how. Tarkovsky is for me the greatest, the one who invented a new language, true to the nature of film, as it captures life as a reflection, life as a dream-bergman
quote:
Perhaps the meaning of all human activity lies in the artistic consciousness, in the pointless and selfless creative act? Perhaps our capacity to create is evidence that we ourselves were created in the image and likeness of God?
tarkovsky
