In Jesus of Montreal of Montreal (1989), Denys Arcand criticizes the crime of mass communication by satirizing the crucifixion of Jesus. In the film, Karen, a young and unknown actor, is invited by the church deacon to form an impromptu troupe with four other people to perform the church's "Passion play" every summer in a modern way. The original script was very simple, with only a few lines recited in a narrative way: "Jesus was sentenced to death, and the upright will die for our sins." Our murder, theft, adultery, all our sins are imposed on him, the heavy wood, the heavy cross. "these are texts faithfully taken from the Bible. However, Karen rewrote the crucifixion play on the basis of textual research on various ancient texts of Jesus and local folklore about Jesus, such as Jesus, the illegitimate son of a soldier Pantilla, who later became the "son of a carpenter"; the portrait of Jesus did not have a beard before Byzantine times, and later added Hu in order to increase "strength"; Jesus was in Egypt.
