The Last Temptation of Christ | (1988) |

| 00:00:20 "The dual substance of Christ- the yearning, so human, |
|
| 00:00:24 so superhuman, of man to attain God... |
|
| 00:00:26 has always been a deep inscrutable mystery to me. |
|
| 00:00:29 My principle anguish and source of all my joys and sorrows |
|
| 00:00:33 from my youth onward has been the incessant, |
|
| 00:00:36 merciless battle between the spirit and the flesh... |
|
| 00:00:38 and my soul is the arena where these two armies |
|
| 00:00:41 have clashed and met." |

|
| 00:00:58 This film is not based upon the Gospels but upon this fictional exploration |
|
| 00:01:03 of the eternal spiritual conflict. |

|
| 00:02:39 The feeling begins. |
|
| 00:02:42 Very tender, very loving. |
|
| 00:02:46 Then the pain starts. |
|
| 00:02:49 Claws slip underneath the skin and tear their way up... |
|
| 00:02:53 ...just before they reach my eyes, they dig in. |
|
| 00:03:00 And I remember. |
|
| 00:03:07 First I fasted for three months. |
|
| 00:03:11 I even whipped myself before I went to sleep. |
|
| 00:03:15 At first it worked. |
|
| 00:03:18 Then the pain came back. And the voices. |
|
| 00:03:24 They call me by name. |
|
| 00:03:27 Jesus. |
|
| 00:03:40 Who is it? Who are you? Why are you following me? |
|
| 00:04:09 Are you ready? |
|
| 00:04:14 No more crosses. We're ready. |
|
| 00:04:17 Where is your mind? Do you hear what I'm saying? |
|
| 00:04:21 The Messiah won't come that way. |
