First time on here. Listened to the podcast because I love Last Temptation. Growing up in Oklahoma, I didn't know this movie existed until I randomly saw it around around 17 years old on TV. It was maybe a half hour in and I was immediately confused by the portrayal of Jesus and Judas, but it was a good confusion that captured my attention and imagination. Jesus had been called a man in my life many, many times but I had never seen him actually interpreted as a flawed human being before. And I had never though of Judas as a good guy before. I feel in love with the soundtrack. Later when I went back and watched it I was a little disappointed by the intro with the whole Jesus building crosses thing. Just seemed shallow for such a magnificent movie.
I never saw Passion and probably never will. There's a church and gas station on nearly every corner in Oklahoma. I knew enough people that saw it. It held no interest for me. Yes I voted for Last Temptation anyway. Sorry I might be corrupting your internet poll if it helps hearing about the flashbacks make me want to watch it a little.
