"The Last Temptation of Christ" was a project that filmmaker Martin Scorsese had wanted to make for years, a passion project. A Catholic, Scorsese had wanted to make a film about the life of Jesus since childhood, having watched the Hollywood religious epics and being inspired by them. He would give up a life in the priesthood to become a filmmaker. Having optioned the book of the same name by author Nikos Kazantzakis in 1970, it would be 18 years before his vision could be seen on the big screen, and it caused quite a stir among the Christian population that protested the film and called it a work of blasphemy.
"The Last Temptation of Christ" is a film which depicts the life of Jesus Christ (Willem Dafoe) as he meets his ultimate end. The Story of Christ is undoubtedly the most well known story of all time, however this story explores the life of the Savior in a more personal and human manner. His struggles with temptation take a front seat in Scorsese's opus as he deals with forms of fear, doubt, depression, reluctance and lust.
This film is not like the usual religious epics we've previously seen from Hollywood, the types that romanticize the era and portray the figures as pillars for morality throughout their struggles, matched with immaculate costumes and lush scope photography. No. "The Last Temptation of Christ" is humanistic in character, smaller and a much more personal film.
