I managed to catch The Last Temptation of Christ on late night TV. I expected the worst, so I was pleasantly suprised. I liked it. Jesus was triumphant in the end, good guys win! Maybe I am shallow or something..

...I was pleasantly surprised. I liked it (The Last Temptation of Christ).

But weren't you offended by the scene in which Joseph and Jesus made crosses for Roman crucifixions in their carpentry shop?

I didn't see the film myself, I'm just reporting what I heard about it.
