Part 4
It feels very odd
to be reviewing the crucifixion. It feels rather indelicate and almost
blasphemous. That said, this is a production by man. It is not the actual
thing. So here goes.
The episode
begins in the morning, combining Peter’s betrayal with Judas’s regret (not
repentance). Political drama goes on in the background, with Pilate caught between
his wife and Caesar (or as Granny put it: a rock and a hard place). Mrs.
Pilate’s segment is used to great effect, her grief eliciting the ironic
statement from Pilate that Jesus will “be forgotten in a week.”
