Come join us in Swain East 105 at 8pm for our weekly movie night.

This week we will be watching The Last Temptation of Christ. Based upon a 1960 novel by the same name, the film depicts the life of Jesus Christ, and its central thesis is that Jesus, while free from sin, was still subject to every form of temptation that humans face, including fear, doubt, depression, reluctance and lust. This results in the book and film depicting Christ being tempted by imagining himself engaged in sexual activities, a notion that has caused outrage from some Christians. 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 recreation of the events detailed in the Gospels.

This film has Willem Dafoe as Jesus and David MF Bowie as Pontius Pilate. Yeah. It’s awesome.

I hope to see you there.
