@eastwing329 I am not Agnostic or Atheistic, by the way. I am born and bred Christian.

This movie is extremely underrated. I know it gained a CRAP-ton of controversy when it came out, but after I saw this in class last week, all I could think was "Did I watch the same film as the picketers?" I am not trying to be offensive to those who old their religion dear, but, it is just a movie that is based on a book (not the bible) that explored Christ's humanity. I was actually worried about Willem-freaking-Defoe playing Jesus. He did well, as did Bowie.

Making love with his ego, Jesus sucked up into his mind, like a leper messiah...

God, Scorsese totally screwed this up. All this extra biblical talk is just wild conjures for political gain. I like Scorsese and I thought this would be as bad as people said, but IMHO it is much worse. I like Bowie in this though he usually isn't a strong actor either.

This whole scene is so beautifully done. So understated. How.many directors have the "faith" in their actors to.have them sit side by side WITH.THEIR BACKS TO THE CAMERA!!!!!

I wish Bowie did more acting. He's very good.
