In the original scripture, the dream actually occurs in the Book of Daniel, and was a dream of the Babylonian king Nebuchadnezzar that the prophet Daniel interpreted, rather than being a dream of Jesus' that Jesus Himself discusses. Adaptation Distillation: The film depicts the "Feet of Clay" dream occurring in tandem with Jesus' meeting with Pontius Pilate.Though as Paul Schrader and Scorsese point out this is an Unbuilt Trope, most notably when Jesus wonders why had God forsaken him. Adaptational Angst Upgrade: Jesus is given this compared to the gospels.traditional music recordings (some recorded on-set when the film was shot), Passion: Sources, soon followed. A supplementary compilation of the album's source material, i.e. The film also featured a score by Peter Gabriel, who later released Passion, a collection of songs composed for and inspired by the film, in 1989 the soundtrack album was the debut release for his vanity label Real World Records. Other people appearing in the film include Harvey Keitel as Judas, Barbara Hershey as Mary Magdalene, Harry Dean Stanton as Paul of Tarsus, and David Bowie as Pontius Pilate. Because of these deviations, the film ends up using many tropes of Jesus movies while Playing With them in new and rather un-Christian ways. Instead of outright betraying Jesus, he's practically forced into it by the man himself. First to come to mind is that Jesus, while still capable of miracle working, is a fallen and deeply flawed human being, who disrespects his mother, watches prostitutes have sex, and wants to be abandoned by God. Starring Willem Dafoe as Jesus, what follows is a loose reinterpretation of the Biblical story of Jesus' life and Crucifixion (sorry, at 2 hours and 43 minutes the film's already long enough without him coming back).Īs stated earlier, the film/novel depart substantially from The Four Gospels' account of Jesus' life. This is the 1988 film directed by Martin Scorsese, with a screenplay by Paul Schrader, adapted from the 1955 novel of the same name by Nikos Kazantzakis. What Monty Python's Life of Brian was to comedy, The Last Temptation of Christ was to drama.
