    Jeet Heer Retweeted Lindsay Beyerstein

    Hard to think of a more God-obsessed filmmaker than Scorsese. Although of course not a few as God obsessed, like Bergman and Malick.https://twitter.com/beyerstein/status/1532940792452501504 …

    Finally saw “The Last Temptation of Christ.” Perplexed about why the traditional Christians were so mad.

        Same as all the Catholics who got upset over Dogma even though that movie assumes that everything in Catholicism is literally true

        I had an identical response to it in high school with all my evangelical friends saying how bad it was(and not having seen it) Very weird moment given how great a film it is and what a wonderful light it puts onto Jesus. Speaking as Jewish.

        I think it's more how people think of Me and Mrs. Jones.

        Even Taxi Driver was inspired by the (Bernanos) novel/(Bresson) film, Diary of a Country Priest.

        Can't reply in the thread, but... I think many Christians probably have a problem with the idea (largely unexamined) "Jesus had free-will"

        They did not like the book by Kazantzakis, so they did not like the film based on it.

        The book is enlightening and well worth reading. Have not seen the film. Guess I should

        I remain shocked that the Soviets allowed his films to be released
