  • The Western Carolinian Page 9 Thursday, October 6,1988 LMP fs Out do or Adventures Movie Review: "The Last Temptation" Sponsors Cumberland Island Trip The Great American Smokeout. Nov: 17. by Michael Cook Imagine this: you're at a theater and you're being pelted with objects and shouts from strangers. Cult-like fanatics surround you. The Rocky Horror Picture Show? No, for this scene is taking place outside the theater, and pamphlets, not rice, are being flung. Welcome to the Charlotte showing of The Last Temptation of Christ. After dodging a man dragging a huge wooden cross around the parking lot of the Park Terrace Theater, I was confronted by groups of pamphlet pushing PTL crusaders who seemed convinced that Satan himself waited inside. Daring to refuse their booklets, I was approached with several "God bless you'"s as I made it to the theater lobby, where armed police checked everyone who entered. Apparently the ticket holding Fundamentalists left their holy hand grenades at home, for once inside the theater the viewing proceeded without incident. It's hard to imagine why anyone other than a hard-core Fundamentalist could get so outraged at the film. No other movie on the life of Jesus has so vividly shown the amount of suffering he endured, and few have elicited such an intense emotional response from viewers. Many in the audience wept during the crucifixion scenes. The movie, produced by Martin Scorsese and based on the 1955 novel by Nikos Kazantzakis, begins with a notice clearly stating that the story and events in the film are one man's ideas about Jesus' divine vs. human duality and that it is not based on the Gospels. Jesus (played by Platoon's William Dafoe) possesses all the qualities of a human being: the ex periences of pain and pleasure, grief and joy, triumph and failure, faith and doubt. He is almost the polar opposite of the Cecil B. DeMille type of savior. Instead of a glowing, blissful Superman character we are presented with a less- than-perfect Christ who is often paranoid, lacks confidence in himself, displays anger, attends weddings where he whoops it up with enthusiasm, and also has sexual feelings which, it should be noted, he never actively pursues). The love scene that involves Jesus and Mary Magdalene occurs during what turns out to be the "last temptation" by Satan. Jesus refuses the chance to leave the cross and live a mortal life with Mary, opting instead to fulfill God's will. A truer understanding of the word "sacrifice" is gained by watching this movie. Which is the greater sacrifice: one who has all the human desires and fears, yet accepts a life of scorn, ridicule, and death by torture, or one who has no desires or fear of death who takes on Christ's role? It takes far more courage to forsake that which is strongly desired. Scorsese's character is one that viewers can relate to with sympathy and love, for he is as human as anyone else. Isn't this the aim of all Jesus movies, to instill and reinforce faith in its viewers? Personally, it reaffirmed and intensified my love for Jesus, and I applaud the film for doing so. A pro-Christian movie if there ever was one. So why all the fuss? The majority of people protesting the film, have never seen it. Of course, this movie is not the definitive last word on the life of Christ, nor does it pretend to be. It should at least be viewed before being denounced. If you want to see the light, you must first open your eyes. Jazz Concert a Smashing Success by Frederick Mason What do you think of when you hear Jazz music? Do you get that "cool" feeling, that soothing, relaxing urge to sit back, take it easy and mellow out with the music? If so, then you were probably at the Saud Concert on Wednesday, September 28th in the Cherokee Room at the University Center. When I first got there I found it difficult to find a seat- that's how crowded it was. Later on in the concert it was so crowded that people sat on the floor and the steps in the back of the room to get a good listen of the mellow music that captured the attention of everyone in the room. It's amazing how a piano, flute, drums and bass can cooperate and create such music. The band is headed by Galen Abdur-Razzaq, who Played a gold flute with style unmatched by anyone I've ever heard before. I had a chance to chat with Galen during intermission and he says he enjoys the mountains. In fact, their next two shows will be in by Holly Wheatley Entertainment Editor Would you ice, rich in history, AMERICAN VCANCER fsoarry- like to go camping over Fall Break, and enjoy what will probably be the last of the really warm weather? Then LMP's Outdoor Adventures has the trip for you! Over Fall Break, October 14-18, the beautifu Atlantic coast of Georgia is the destination for this combination of camping, hiking, swimming and beacl" combing. Cumberland Island is a wil undeveloped sea is land managed by the National Park Serv- the mountains, after which they will travel to eastern North Carolina for another show. As I sat and listened to the band during their performance, I noticed the style of Galen as he played his flute in his jazzy grey suit and shades, enhancing the mellow atmosphere of the concert. When Galen finished his part, he'd walk out of the spotlight and chill over in the corner while the band continued to keep us mellow. The band entertained the crowd by playing a popular tune from Grover Washington as well as getting people up to dance as the band played jazzy tropical music. The concert was a real treat to the students on campus because it is rare for us to get to listen to jazz music with the exception of the jazz show on the campus radio station. I really enjoyed the Jazz Concert, and I certainly would enjoy a return trip from Saud to take us back to that mellow atmosphere that so many people enjoyed that Wednesday night.
