Though I’m a Christian, I’m not a big fan of most Bible-based films; most seem made to reinforce fundagelical dogma, at least to my cynical eye. But I absolutely loved The Last Temptation of Christ. I’d really like to get my hands on the novel one of these days.
I, too, am a Christian. But I suspect even an ardent non-believer would be moved by the movie if he approached it with an open mind.
Ironic thing is most of the film’s detractors have been believers.
Well, they say they are. Someone who truly is a believer in Christ and His ministry would have a much more open mind.
