The last temptation of Christ

Martin Scorsese directed a film based on the book, which was released by Universal Pictures in 1988. It stars Willem Dafoe as Jesus, Harvey Keitel as Judas Iscariot, and Barbara Hershey as Mary Magdalene. David Bowie and Harry Dean Stanton also appear as Pontius Pilate and Paul, respectively. Film was entirely shot in Morocco.

Scorsese has been described as a lapsed Catholic; nevertheless, he maintains a traditionally Christian faith in Christ. He had been wanting to make a film version of Jesus' life for many years. He first attempted to make one in the early 1980s, but the project had to be placed on hold. Finally in 1988, The Last Temptation of Christ was completed and released to theaters.

Protests against the movie from the religious community began before the film had even finished production. The studio was expecting a backlash due to the controversies revolving around any media treatment of Christ (see dramatic portrayals of Jesus Christ), but the protests accompanying Last Temptation were unprecedented. Major religious leaders in the United States blasted the film in fiery sermons, and condemned its subject matter as pornographic.

On October 22, 1988, a French Catholic fundamentalist group launched molotov cocktails inside the Parisian saint Michel movie theater to protest against the film projection. This terrorist attack injured thirteen people; four of them were severely burned.

The movie includes a disclaimer explaining that it departs from the commonly-accepted biblical portrayal of Jesus' life, and that it is not intended to be an exact re-creation of the events detailed in the Gospels.

Somehow I expect the same going to happen with Da vinchi code? and its cool? because no one could blame the Muslims because of the riot caused by bunch of caricatures?

Nevertheless.. its incredible engaging movie?
