520 |a While the vast amount of scholarly literature has provided a powerful argument for Mary Magdalene's leadership and importance in scripture, art and culture, mainstream audiences remain mostly unaware of this fact, embracing the "repentant whore" image circulated by patriarchal leaders for centuries. As 2005 ushers Mary Magdalene back into pop culture consciousness through the success of the bestseller The Da Vinci Code and an ensuing film adaptation, it is important to examine how fictional films represent Magdalene. This article focuses on an analysis of Martin Scorsese's The Last Temptation of Christ (1988; 2000) because Magdalene serves as a main character, and Scorsese claims he made a "visionary" rendering of Jesus' life and death, including his relationship with Magdalene. Critiquing Scorsese's version of Magdalene in light of the wealth of scholarship that refutes the portrait of Magdalene as a prostitute dramatizes how the misrepresentation is maintained in the popular imagination, as well as ways she may be (re)presented in the future.
