The Last Temptation of Christ is a 1988 epic religious drama film directed by Martin Scorsese. Written by Paul Schrader with uncredited rewrites from Scorsese and Jay Cocks, it is an adaptation of Nikos Kazantzakis' controversial 1955 novel of the same name. The film, starring Willem Dafoe, Harvey Keitel, Barbara Hershey, Andre Gregory, Harry Dean Stanton and David Bowie, was shot entirely in Morocco.

The film depicts the life of Jesus Christ and his struggle with various forms of temptation including fear, doubt, depression, reluctance, and lust. The book and the film depict Christ being tempted by imagining himself engaged in sexual activities, which caused outrage from some Christians. It includes a disclaimer stating "This film is not based on the Gospels, but upon the fictional exploration of the eternal spiritual conflict."

So so posting this to fuck that old crow and all his assumptions. He ain't the only one...hic... who can post movies here. Everyone wants to bag on me, but no one ever takes the time to understand. Maybe think about what it's like to be fucking crucified, you asshole. Take that and shove it up your 12 steps.

But hic Dafoe is my bro, yo - and Nikos, brother, you got a place beside me when the shit goes down. You got a lot of shit wrong, but you got the parts right that count.
