Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

The four productions considered in this chapter--Denys Arcand’s <italic>Jesus of Montreal</italic> (1989), Martin Scorsese’s <italic>Last Temptation of Christ</italic> (1988), Jules Dassin’s <italic>He Who Must Die (Celui Qui Doit Mourir)</italic> (1957), and Paul Bryers’ teledrama for Britain’s Channel 4, <italic>Incident in Judea</italic> (1991)—all use the story of the Passion and of Pontius Pilate as a way to critique power. Arcand’s gentle comedy, set in late 1980’s Quebec, features a Passion play-within-a-Passion play with two versions of Pilate, one played by the director himself. In addition, a French language film, Dassin’s spare black-and-white movie from the 1950s is drawn from the work of the excommunicated Greek author, Nikos Kazantzakis. Likewise taken from Kazantzakis is Scorsese’s big-screen production, featuring one of the 80’s biggest rockstars, David Bowie, as a memorable Pilate. <italic>Incident in Judea,</italic> drawn from Bulgakov’s <italic>The Master and Margarita</italic>, focuses on the portion of the text that deals with Pilate and a misunderstood Jesus. Each of these films, inspired by Dostoevksy’s story of the Grand Inquisitor, ask whether Christ, were he to reappear today, would be recognised by society or Church leaders or instead subjected to the same persecution he suffered 2000 years ago?

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
