I feel a little weird about this one. I liked a few things in it, but most of it I either disliked or didn’t quite understand. I thought making the betrayal a planned event by Jesus was really interesting. But, the actual temptations Jesus endures seemed really vague and were difficult to figure out. None of it seemed like he was actually being tempted, but rather tricked into doing things, or stuff was just happening. Then of it isn’t really theologically accurate, which is something it doesn’t claim to be. Ultimately, I was expecting a much more powerful film after the likes of Siskel and Ebert hailed it a masterpiece. I just didn’t feel empowered or anything really. I didn’t feel a personal connection to Christ’s character in the film. I may revisit it in the future, but most likely won’t.


It kicked ass while chewing bubblegum, despite being out of bubblegum. That’s a pretty impressive feet if you ask me.
Also I was caught off guard by the few seconds of nudity at the end, and my mom asked if I knew it was there already.
After responding “no” she said she’d let me off the hook then. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
