What if a bunch of young people don't want to die in a war by D. Trump? Back in the day, a lot of people didn't want to die in a war by Richard_Nixon either.

The Last Temptation of Christ (1988 film)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Last_Temptation_of_Christ_(film)#Plot

Quite a controversial story with a peculiar visual effect during the last few seconds of the movie .

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Last_Temptation_of_Christ_(film)#Development

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Last_Temptation_of_Christ_(film)#Protests , https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0095497/reviews/?featured=rw1919413&ref_=tt_ururv_c_1_hd

"According to Martin Scorsese, the last shot was not intentional. The camera used to film this scene was faulty and light leaked in onto the film, causing a whiteout at the exact point in the scene at which Jesus died, and this was not discovered until the film was processed." https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0095497/trivia/?ref_=tt_dyk_trv

"In the rush of production, the celluloid of that final shot was accidentally exposed to sunlight by "some kid", according to the director, creating the bizarre effect. Scorsese didn't find out about what had happened until the team had packed up and gone home, but he fell in love with it and thought that the distorted image actually made the ending even more special, deciding to leave it in the final cut." https://whatculture.com/film/10-mistakes-that-actually-improved-the-final-films?page=2
