I've always liked the way Bowie portrayed Pontius Pilate. As seen in the bible, he is some ruthless dictator with no heart--- seen as an idiot really, a small piece in a bigger scheme. But here we see an intelligent man, who is really trying to understand the person called Jesus Christ. He knows, however, in order for his Empire not to fall to pieces, Jesus has to be tortured and executed. We see here that although he is a small piece in a bigger scheme, Pontius WAS in fact an intelligent man.
@TheK3lsinator he very much was an intelligent man he asked Jesus wot is the truth? its not in this video but written in the gospels very profound words that even had Jesus stumped!! Didnt answer him
I go to a catholic school and have seen more than dozen movies on the passion of christ and it makes me mad to have not seen this one because of david bowie's appearance
That made me laugh so hard I nearly put me eye out.
Hilarious biblical Laughing Gnome mash-up.

I thought Willem Dafoe was a better actor. Good thing David Bowie saves this scene.

I gotta say that David Bowie is a very talented artist, inside and outside of a music studio.

It's a great scene. Bowie could certainly act when he wanted to - this is one of his better performances.
