Elmofongo: Can I ask what people thinks of The Last Temptation of Christ since I discovered it was directed by my now fav director Martin Scorsese?
Telika: Haven't seen it, but the cast is good, and it's an adaptation of Kazantzakis, who kinda rules (also wrote "Zorba the Greek", and "Captain Michalis / Liberty or Death"). So I wouldn't be surprised it to be a rather good film, even if I have little interest for that specific theme. And I blame the fact that ever since I have seen Passion of the Christ where every character speak Aramaic Latin and Hebrew I cannot seem to take any other bible movie seriously with characters speaking in English it just feels to out of place. This applies to other stories because of setting like I prefer seeing Samurai Champloo in Japanese with English Subs because of setting.
Off topic can I ask why people accuse Passion of being Anti Semeitcal out of all Moives depicting the Crucifixion of Jesus? What clear examples does Passion have that others does not?
