但该电影导演马拉蓬蒂说，这部电影在梵蒂冈上映时颇获好评，耶稣喝可乐一幕亦没引起教廷反感，并说电影凸显了耶稣是历来最伟大的传道人，可口可乐公司的反应让他难以理解。4 E9 i* i; J7 i& s1 A {( v) ]+ w

“The Pope did not object to the Coca-Cola scene," Malaponti said. "It is a coherent part of a film in which Jesus is portrayed as the greatest communicator of all time. This is a profoundly religious film.” 8 P: t: ^2 z k1 F0 y# h. t8 a/ s7 G2 M% b; ~; F0 n
But company officials are adamant that the scene portrays the soda-maker in a negative light. "We are not interested in this kind of product placement," a spokeswoman for the company told the paper.
