Mary Magdalene<\/a><\/i>, starring Rooney Mara as the title character and Joaquin Phoenix as Jesus, has been available digitally in North America for four months now, but apparently it just came out on DVD a couple weeks ago \u2014 so two new clips from the film have been made available on the distributor\u2019s YouTube channel. Check them out below.<\/p>\n
The first video shows Mary Magdalene washing Jesus\u2019 feet:<\/p>\n
<\/iframe><\/p>\nThis is an odd clip, for reasons I explained in my <a href=\"https:\/\/www.patheos.com\/blogs\/filmchat\/2019\/05\/mary-magdalene-a-scene-guide-with-clips-and-scriptural-references.html\" class=\" decorated-link\" target=\"_blank\">scene guide<\/a> for the film:<\/p>\n<blockquote>Mary washes Jesus\u2019 feet just before the Last Supper. This is curious, and perhaps runs counter to the filmmakers\u2019 stated intentions, for three reasons:<\/p>\nFirst, the biblical Mary Magdalene did not wash Jesus\u2019 feet, but western Christian tradition has tended to conflate her with the unnamed \u201csinful woman\u201d \u2014 often assumed to be a prostitute \u2014 who washed Jesus\u2019 feet with perfume in Luke 7:36-50. The makers of this film have insisted that they wanted to liberate Mary Magdalene from her post-biblical association with that story, but this scene risks perpetuating that association (especially in light of Jesus\u2019 dialogue, which resembles what the biblical Jesus said when the \u201csinful woman\u201d washed his feet; see below for more on that).<\/p>\nSecond, another Mary, the sister of Lazarus, washed Jesus\u2019 feet with expensive perfume the day before he rode the donkey into Jerusalem (John 12:1-8). Including that<\/i> foot-washing story could have given the filmmakers another opportunity to explore the role that a wide range of women \u2014 rich and poor, old and young, single and married \u2014 played within the Jesus movement. But the film ignores the sister of Lazarus, the same way it ignores the other female patrons mentioned in Luke 8:1-3, to keep its focus narrowly on Mary Magdalene, which creates the impression that Jesus had only one significant female follower \u2014 and this, in turn, arguably undermines the filmmakers\u2019 efforts to put a more female-inclusive spin on the Jesus story.<\/p>\nThird, the only foot-washing that happened on the night of the Last Supper in the biblical account was performed by Jesus himself<\/i>, to show the disciples how to be each other\u2019s servants (John 13:3-17). It has often been noted that Jesus was not only acting like a slave when he did this, but possibly acting like a female slave, specifically. In the film, however, the only foot-washing we see on the night of the Last Supper is performed by a woman.<\/p><\/blockquote>\nThere are at least two other odd details about this clip, and the dialogue given to Jesus within it.
