Mind you, you have to admire the stance the Church took on the movie. When asked what he thought of it, Pope JP II said "It is what it is". Huh? Nice and clear condemnation/endorsement there, JP! Typical ****ing Church!

Willem Dafoe and Harvey Keitel? I'll get right on that!

And it's even by Scorsese. Incredible that I've never heard of it.

It's totally brilliant. Keitel is a bit useless, Dafoe is good but not great, but the idea in the movie is just stunning.

Why should they be expected to do either of those things?

I'm not even sure why I like both of those actors so much. Dafoe probably for Platoon. Keitel, maybe mostly for Bad Lieutenant.

welllllll ... considering a lot of Christians were probably conflicted as to whether to watch it or not - would it be a sin, watching Christ get tortured, or was it their Christian duty to understand what He suffered for them? - I think the Church really dodged coming out either in favour of or against the movie, and I think Christians were expecting a decision from el Papa. I wasn't, but I was mildly interested in how they would react, and to just shrug was, to me, a total cop-out. Not that I'm surprised, as I say.

*Catholics

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.
