Anyway, true Christians would never watch the film because movies were not around during Jesus' time and are inherently evil. Those who are conflicted about whether or not the content matters should just keep on sinning.

One of the worst cases of miscasting ever.

First step is to see if they have it downtown in my favorite used movies/music/books store. I'm trying to make a list of other movies to look for too. I can never remember what I actually want to see when I'm standing down there. |

I'll try to say something coherent about it, but a lot of thoughts and feelings were running through me as I watched it. After it was over, I thought about how there was a constant feeling of uncertainty underpinning the entire movie. Is he really the Messiah? Does he believe it himself? Does his followers? What about Judas? Is that Satan or not? Did he really give up God, as he kept questioning his mission or how to carry it out, throughout most of the movie. It wasn't until the very last couple minutes I felt sure about what would really happen. Spoiler for Spoiler territory::
Out of spoiler territory again: When the credits revealed that Peter Gabriel did the soundtrack, I had just been thinking how massively inappropriate for the tone of the movie the music had felt at times - as it also did at the very end. I was also surprised to see David Bowie as a Roman official! Long story short, I really liked the movie a lot. I did get a little impatient somewhere in the middle of the movie when the uncertainties were really piling up on me, but that faded away eventually and I found the movie to be pretty fascinating. I think this one will get better with repeat viewings over the years. This movie against Mel Gibson's take on Jesus: Not even a contest. EDIT: I almost forgot. That loud noise and the weird colors seconds before the credits roll... I have no idea what that was about. Easily the weirdest thing about the movie.

Spoiler for Jesus H Christ!:
Personally, I love the soundtrack and I have it. I think it really suited the mood and tone of the movie, but you're entitled to your opinion of course. Definitely my favourite movie about Jesus, and I've seen a few.
