I read the book back in the early 70s while in the Navy. I loved the book, my mother a devote Catholic was scandalized but I didn't see it that way, it was a "what if" scenario. The "what if" Jesus was just tempted but actually took the devil up on his offer, the second half of the book is about what might have happened...in the end well the ending didn't change. It's not sacrilegious at least not in my estimation.
I was captured by the film. I identified with Jesus drawing a circle around himself and having it out with God or Satan. Satan attacked Jesus when he was at his weakest but who still managed to recognize Satan's various forms and shove him off. Weak as he might be, Jesus did not waiver. Whether truth or allegory, it is impossible to not love the symbol of Christ. Whether you take Jesus as a story or as complete truth, it cannot NOT effect you.
"I am the one you've been waiting for." I think this is one of Satan's more clever tricks. He'll make us think that he's gone away when really he's just changed his guise.
Resist all that our bodies crave that exist for our enjoyment are not to be rejected for painful abstinence in the pursuit of some imaginary belief. All we have is flesh and we should honour it by taking pleasure in it
Not he but his followers by preaching the Satan thesis in the scene " You are God, The only son of God". Jesus rejected it in the scene but his followers conquered Rome by following satan. They sold their soul and got what they promised. Rome.

You know they put that at the start of the movie? A caption comes up explicitly stating it's based on the novel by Nikos Kazantzakis and NOT the gospels.
Yes it is, and in the Roman Empire it was called "manus obscena" and was the equivalent of giving the middle finger. One reason why it was so rude is because, well, if you turn it around to face you, it's meant to look like a woman's naughty bits...
For me this film made the New Testament believable in ways that no other Jesus movie ever did. We're all really lucky Scorsese didn't make this film five years earlier without Willem Dafoe, which apparently almost did happen. The crucifixion scene was like a classical painting, and just mind blowing. Quite possibly the best film of the 1980s.
For some reason hearing Jesus say, "Step into my circle so I can pull your tongue out." to Satan is too cool.

The film includes a disclaimer stating "This film is not based on the Gospels, but upon the fictional exploration of the eternal spiritual conflict."[5]
They can't handle the truth

Love you big man
Thank you so much x
It breaks my heart when I see Jesus cry
This film is nothing but a fiction story. It has no written text to support the existence of the story when making this movie.
You know they put that at the start of the movie? A caption comes up explicitly stating it's based on the novel by Nikos Kazantzakis and NOT the gospels.
This is truly Scripture coming to life in a creatively great way.
Explain how?It's only a movie.
It’s blasphemous and not supported by scripture in the slightest
@@aaronmiles2802 Agreed folks need to quit being delusional sometimes really read especially the Bible itself.
@@aaronmiles2802 If it's untrue, then it's absolutely scriptural.
@@Thespeedrap If you had ever actually read the bible, you wouldn't be a Christian anymore
I don’t think Jesus was that aggressive😂
He should have been Satan instead

The fire Satan sounds so much like the Green Goblin.
Nice small detail, the hand he holds in the thumb is called "the fig."" in superstitions it was thought to ward off evil spirits.
Yes it is, and in the Roman Empire it was called "manus obscena" and was the equivalent of giving the middle finger. One reason why it was so rude is because, well, if you turn it around to face you, it's meant to look like a woman's naughty bits...
For me this film made the New Testament believable in ways that no other Jesus movie ever did. We're all really lucky Scorsese didn't make this film five years earlier without Willem Dafoe, which apparently almost did happen. The crucifixion scene was like a classical painting, and just mind blowing.
Quite possibly the best film of the 1980s.
Man like that snake sounded so damn creepy
Snake Was Satan
amen✝️God bless you have a blessed day🤍💜✌🏻
What?
wait is jesus talking to a black snake that can spread out its thing on the neck
deathrokiller It's called a cobra.
@@Crossbones6732 Is it though? (I'm a big Crossbones fan as well!)
It was the Devil.
Artie Rupinen it was the sin of lust and the lion was greed
