TV LOGHOLLYWOOD HQTIJNE Last Temptation Of Christ Could Be In Oscar Running Says Mark Cartwright by Mark Cartwright ' Green Sheet Entertainment Critic SEEN DEPT.: ON THE SCREEN The Last Temptation Of Christ is, without a doubt, one of the most moving, entertaining films to be released this year by any major studio. Its a refreshing break from the horror, teenager and car chase films and certainly one which will most likely receive recognition come Academy Award time. Directed with great care and devotion by Martin Scorsese, who spent 15 years trying to bring this to the screen, this Universal Pictures Cineplex-OdeoFilms release opens with the statement that Paul Schraders script is not based on the gospels. Yes, it is a work of fiction which involves the characters found in the Bible yet it never claims to be more than it is, a film treatment of Nikos Kazantzakis novel which appeared over 20 years ago in print form. Willem Dafoe, whom most remember from people his performance in the war film Platoon, essays the role of Jesus. n 500-pag- e His performance as a man torn by his desire to lead a normal life and that of accepting the fact he is the Messiah is so deep and well thought out that he deserves, at least, an Oscar nomination, if not the statuette itself. Are the voices he hears, which are driving him to the brink of madness, those of God or Lucifer? He passionately wants to know what God expects of him and is looking for a sign for guidance. It is a performance unlike any other actor portraying Jesus has ever delivered. Harvey Keitel, who first came to national attention in the film Mother, Jugs, and Speed, has come a long way in his acting ability and plays the role of Judas perfectly. As one of Jesus first followers, he is stunned as Jesus tells him that he must betray his master so that he can be crucified. Unwilling, but obedient, he must follow the wishes of Jesus. Keitels scenes add to the dramatic highlights of this film as do those of Barbara Hershey as Mary Magdalene. Mary makes it perfectly clear that she has always wanted Jesus even though he has always to resist her managed 0O 00 2:30 (TU) Gourmet Cooking Q (WE) French Chef (TH.FR) Andy Griffith (MO, TU.WE) Father Knows 0 B O 3:00 B O O B B O Beat O O 9:30 B 10:000 B O O 10:30 Q 00 Real Ghostbusters 3:30 Diffrent O (TH.FR) CBS Morning News 5:150 Before Hours (D A.M.

By doing so that newspaper must be seriously afraid that its readers may or be entertained possibly swayed. I content that anyone who can be swayed by a film cant be too firm in their belief in the first place. It also makes me wonder what else that paper has held back or will hold back in the future. Its censorship reminds me of a film Faerenheit 451 about book burning and censorship. I suggest they see that film if they havent banned it because it promotes free thinking. On a hotter note I would like to take this opportunity to address those who were responsible for the incident at the Center Theatre last week. Wrapped in the cloak of darkness some spineless frauds entered the theater, cut the screen and destroyed the print. This was supposedly done to protest the film. 1 can respect people who walk a picket line stating their opinion, but I have no respect for the gutless wonders who to make are afraid themselves heard and seen publicly.

The casting of David Bowie as Pontius Pilot was a major bit of inspiration and he carries his role well. From the opening sequences to the last frame, The Last Temptation Of Christ is a very special film which should inspire dialogue between the various religions. The film itself boasts, and rightly so, of masterful directing, acting, writing and photography. Another person who should receive an Oscar is Thelma Schoonmaker for her tight sensible editing. The film is 2 hours and 40 minutes long so you can imagine she really had her work cut out for her as did writer Paul Schrader, who had to take the original 500 page novel and make a screenplay of workable size out of it. I highly recommend The Last Temptation Of Christ which is playing an exclusive engagement at the Center Theatre. |
