Brustus: He said, "It is finished."::Malchus: Is it? Or has it just begun?
Plot
A camera crew has the unique opportunity to record Satan in his natural habitat and it looks like he's quite happy with it. He has the perfect job, he is for the most part feared and respected, and his minions jump to his every whim. After 6,000 years he is invited back to heaven, and he goes - expecting to return to his place beside God as Lucifer, the Angel of Light. But when it turns out the invitation is not for the expected welcome home, but is rather for Christ's Second Coming-out party, things quickly go to hell. Worse, his former girlfriend is now partnering with the biggest douche-bag in Heaven. Satan decides he misses the place anyway, and wants back in. So he decides he needs to find a way to re-earn God's respect in order to be welcomed back. We learn that the Devil does for once care - kind of.
Let there be spite.
For God loved the world So much...
Jesus Christ: I am the resurrection and the life, he who believes in me will live even though he dies and he who lives and believes in me will never die.
Jesus Christ: It is finished.
Jesus Christ: A person who has had a bath needs only to wash his feet; his whole body is clean, and you are all clean, all except one.
Jesus Christ: Lazarus, come out.
Plot
A nearly wordless visual narrative intercuts two main stories and a couple of minor ones. A woman, perhaps the Madonna, brings forth her baby to a crowd of intrusive paparazzi; she tries to flee them. Two men who are lovers marry and are arrested by the powers that be. The men are mocked and pilloried, tarred, feathered, and beaten. Loose in this contemporary world of electrical-power transmission lines is also Jesus. The elements, particularly fire and water, content with political power, which is intolerant and murderous.

The screen's FIRST great Passion Play!
Mary Magdalene (original Greek Μαρία ἡ Μαγδαληνή), or Mary of Magdala, was one of Jesus' most celebrated disciples, and the most important female disciple in the movement of Jesus. Jesus cleansed her of "seven demons", [Lu 8:2] [Mk 16:9] sometimes interpreted as referring to complex illnesses. She became Jesus' close friend and most prominent during his last days, being present at the cross after the male disciples (excepting John the Beloved) had fled, and at his burial. She was the first person to see Jesus after his Resurrection, according to both John 20 and Mark 16:9.
Mary Magdalene is considered by the Catholic, Orthodox, Anglican, and Lutheran churches to be a saint, with a feast day of July 22. The Eastern Orthodox churches also commemorate her on the Sunday of the Myrrhbearers.
Consistently in the four Gospels, Mary Magdalene seems to be distinguished from other women named Mary by adding "Magdalene" (η Μαγδαληνή) to her name. Traditionally, this has been interpreted to mean that she was from Magdala, a town thought to have been on the western shore of the Sea of Galilee. Luke 8:2 says that she was actually "called Magdalene." In Hebrew מגדל Migdal means "tower", "fortress"; in Aramaic, "Magdala" means "tower" or "elevated, great, magnificent".

I often watch you the way you whore yourself
You're so beautiful
You flirt, tease, enviously I wish you'd flirt with me
Perhaps I'm enticed by what you are
I imagine us jumpin' the broom, foolish I know
'Cause that's not the life you live
You live alone, in a crowded bed
Never remembering faces, conversations
Just the body for the lonely
Spend one night with me, satisfy me for free
I'll love you endlessly
Yourself and that you
Give them what they want
So give me what I want
Tell me I'm the only one, give me
I want to marry you
Tell me I'm the only one
Forgive me for what I want
Tell me I'm the only one, give me
I want to marry you
Tell me I'm the only one, baby
In a harlot's dress you wear the smile of a child
With the faith of Mary Magdalene
Yet you wash the feet of unworthy men
Come and I'll set you free
Into an endless valley of fruits both sweet and sour
And whatever displeases your palate
My kisses will wash away, stay
If you must dance, dance for me
So blessed are the pure at heart
For they shall see God
So close your eyes and dream
For the world will blind you
And I'll judge not
So that I may not be judged
Give me what I want
Tell me I'm the only one, give me
I want to marry you, babe
Tell me I'm the only one, the only one
Yes babe, tell me
Tell me I'm the only one
I'm the only one, give me
Satisfy me for free
I want to marry you
Tell me I'm the only one, give me
Satisfy me for free
Tell me
Tell me I'm the only one
Satisfy me for free
Satisfy me for free
Tell me, tell me I'm the only one
[?] Your angel eyes
The only one
So blessed are the pure in heart
Satisfy me for free
Your angel eyes
Tell me I'm the only one
Satisfy me for free
Tell me I'm the only one
I often watch you the way you whore yourself
You're so beautiful
You flirt and tease enviously I wish you'd flirt with me
Perhaps I'm enticed by what you are
I imagine us jumpin' the broom foolish I know that's not the life you live
You live alone in a crowded bed never remembering faces
Conversations just a body for the lonely
Spend one night with me satisfy me for free and I'll love you endlessly
I overheard you say you'd give them what they wanted
So give me what I want
Tell me I'm the only one
I want to marry you
Tell me I'm the only one
In a harlot's dress you wear the smile of a child with the faith of
Mary Magdalene
Yet you wash the feet of unworthy men
Come and I'll set you free into an endless valley of fruits both sweet and sour
And whatever displeases your palate my kisses will wash away
Stay. If you must dance, dance for me
Blessed are the pure at heart for they shall see god so close your eyes and dream
For the world will blind you and I'll judge not so that I may not be judged
Please give me what I want
Tell me I'm the only one
I want to marry you
Tell me I'm the only one
My name is Mary
Mary Magdalene
I let the devil carry me
To the dark side of a sin
I heard his laughter
And I tried to run
Now there is no ever after
After everything I've done
I'm all broke up
I'm all broke down
Got turned around somehow
Who is my savior now
I took off running
Just to feel the wind
I shook off my innocence
Now I want it back again
I heard the siren
Coming from the past
Ninety miles from nowhere
I was going nowhere fast
I'm all broke up
I'm all broke down
Got turned around somehow
Who is my savior now
My name is Mary
Mary Magdalene
I let the devil carry me
To the dark side of a sin
I told the silence
I wanted to go back
But standing in the midnight shade
A shadow fades to black
I'm all broke up
I'm all broke down
Got turned around somehow
He sat down there beside me
Looked real straight then politely
Asked me if I believed in love
I was deafened a bit by
Back ground noise of the club I
Moved in closer to hear what he said
and he said, you know I think I can read your mind
I think you're lost and you need a friend
If what Im saying is wrong I don't mean to offend
ohh nooo
and then the club began to spin
and the walls kept closing in
and no body seemed to matter not when we were together
and the floor disappeared along with everything we feared
and I felt like Mary Magdalene and any other girl whose ever been in love
I was shocked as we moved in to the quiet of the back room
and there I motioned for him to sit down
There installed in the black booth
I resisted the urge to, plant my mouth on the tip of his brow
and I said, you know Ive waited all life for this
I am swimming inside your kisses
Darling we are so young, how could this be wrong
ohhhh
and then the club began to spin
and the walls kept closing in
and no body seemed to matter that when we were together
and the floor disappeared along with everything we feared
and I felt like Mary Magdalene and any other girl whose ever been in love
in a spin and the walls kept closing in
and no body seemed to matter not when we were together
and the floor disappeared along with everything we feared
and I felt like Mary Magdalene and any other girl whose ever been in love
ohhh this is love, yeahh
Ive been waiting all life for this
I am spinning inside your kisses
Darling we are so young, how could this be wrong
ohhh it can't be wrong
the club was in a spin
and the walls kept closing in
and no body seemed to matter not when we were togther
and the floor disappeared along with everything we feared
and I felt like Mary Magdalene and any other girl whose ever
been in love
spin and the walls kept closing in and nobody seemed to matter
not when we were together
and the floor disappeared along with everything we feared
and I felt like Mary Magdalene yeah I felt like Mary Magdalene
