It can be argued that the physical torture that Jesus
endured at the hands of the Jews and Romans had a
catalyzing effect on the early supporters of
Christianity, fueling a fervency that helped catapult
Christianity from its then small cult status to the
dominant religion it is today. The powerful
experience of seeing this brutality is now explicitly
recreated in Mel Gibson's film, The Passion of the
Christ, and could have similar effects on modern
viewers.
A movie adaptation of ZMM directed by Robert Redford
was once planned but was ultimately abandoned. Could a
film about ZMM and the MOQ, centered around graphic
depictions of Robert Pirsig undergoing electro-shock
treatment at the hands of psychiatrists, with
flashbacks to his moments of enlightenment and
flashforwards to his painstaking re-discovery of
Quality through a splintered memory, help galvanize a
movement that propels the MOQ forward to being the
dominant worldview that Pirsig envisions for it?
