TRIVIA AND POPULAR DIALOGUES

Trivia

In keeping with his idea of Jesus Christ as the greatest revolutionary of all time, Pier Paolo Pasolini considered casting Jack Kerouac or Allen Ginsberg in the role. He changed his mind when he met Enrique Irazoqui, a Spanish student of literature, who has written a thesis about Pasolini's novel "Ragazzi di vita" and was very curious to meet him.

Pier Paolo Pasolini used non-professional actors and cast local peasants, shopkeepers, factory workers, and truck drivers. For Mary at the time of the Crucifixion, he cast his own mother Susanna Pasolini.

It is generally considered the most faithful cinematic adaptation of the Bible ever made.

The film had no script.

All of the dialogue used in the film is taken directly from the Bible.

Popular Dialogues

"[last lines] Christ: All authority has been given to me in heaven and earth. Go, therefore. And make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son and the Holy Ghost, teaching them to observe everything I have commanded you. And behold. I am with you always even unto the end of the world."

"Christ: Many are called, but few are chosen."
