Movie: the Last Supper
Movie: The Last Supper

Directed by Stacy Title

The Last Supper, by Dan Rosen, supposedly dares to take on deep subjects in a vein of sarcastic humor. But, what it says is that liberals, because of their belief, have the right to pass death sentences on opponents. The story was amusing at times and there was some comedy in the film, but it didn 't really go anywhere. The most famous actor in the film was Mark Harmon, and they showed him for about one minute, before he got killed. The movie takes place in Ames, Iowa. The film is about five liberal graduate students living together, (three males and two females) that enjoy inviting different guest over every Sunday for dinner. The students indulge their sense of superiority by inviting those that they regard as being less enlightened. They enjoy having different types of discussions dealing with all different types of topics. Their first guest that we see, ends up being a trucker who gives one of the five students a lift home because his car broke down. They invite the trucker in to eat, because they had an extra seat at the table and their originally invited guest could not make it for dinner. The trucker ends up being an anti-Semite and he is also an ex-marine. Immediately after the trucker sits down at the table to eat he starts pointing out to the five students that he hates Jews and that they always try to bargain down anything that they buy. All five of the students are stunned by the remarks that the trucker is making, especially one of the students that is Jewish. They all get into a heated argument and the trucker goes out of control; in addition, he grabs the Jewish student and puts a knife to his throat. They are all shocked by this and they immediately attempt to calm the trucker down. He releases the Jewish student and then breaks an arm of another student who was trying to free the Jewish student. The Jewish student picks up a butcher 's knife and stabs the trucker in the back, which

    Throughout the movie there were some negative things that were present within it. Some of these were how the songs would just randomly begin and could make a certain scene loose its significance and meaning, the plot itself seemed to be a bit predictable and disappointing until a plot-twist occurred. The ending of the movie I found confusing and a cliché. Although there were a few negative aspects present in the movie I still believe it was a successful movie and quite enjoyable.…

    Though there are three different accounts of the Lord’s Last Supper in the bible—written by Matthew, Luke, and John—each record share common threads. Specifically speaking, the scriptures all express Jesus’ desire for people to, through the symbols of bread and wine, receive his body and blood in remembrance of him. In other words, through this symbolic and orderly process, all accounts show that Jesus wants his followers to remember the sacrifice he made: die on the cross to pay for mankind’s sins. Ultimately, I found these accounts to show Jesus suggesting a redemptive nature of his death.…

    Recently, someone asked, “Did Judas leave the Last Supper early?” She was repeating a question that she heard from people who criticize Christianity. There are two major types knowledge that is used to evaluate Christianity. She had probably heard this question from someone who depended on exoteric knowledge. To bear fruit within the church, we need to know about exoteric knowledge and esoteric knowledge. Exoteric knowledge is knowledge that is publicly available. Esoteric knowledge is kept from everyone except the initiated. Among educated people, the word "esoteric" is widely known and used frequently. On the other hand, the word "exoteric" is known only to few people. Thus, the word "exoteric" is…

    Leonardo da Vinci’s The Last Supper is a particularly well known painting to say the least. The painting depicts the last supper being shared by Jesus Christ and his 12 disciples. The painting represents the moment when Jesus Christ tells his disciples that one of them will betray him. The painting was made using a technique known as fresco, which caused the painting to deteriorate quickly. The painting was eventually restored and has been copied many times. Even in today’s culture, countless renditions are done of Leonardo da Vinci’s The Last Supper; many of the renditions take popular icons and have them mimic Jesus Christ and his disciples. Renditions of the painting vary from new painting styles all the way to scenes in a movie. The artwork I have selected is from the opening credits of a movie known as “Watchmen”. I believe the scene is a good representation of Leonardo’s The Last Supper in today’s pop culture.…

    Many art scholars and historians having been discussing if certain artworks that are incomplete should be restored/finish or would ruin that ruin the artwork. Moreover, an example of this is Leonardo DA Vinci's Last Supper one of his art pieces that he was working on but was never able to complete. In 1999 someone did their best to finish the masterpiece mimicking Vinci’s style.This caused a controversy because many believed that it would ruin the history behind the painting if someone was to finish it. I personally disagree in restoring incomplete artworks, because I believe that it undermines the artist that takes their time in finishing someone else's work. Leonardo was never able to finish his work and to honor him an artist took his…
