Jezus Christ superstar

[Gray Fox]

I like the movie, I really do. But pretty much everybody I know hates it, so I assume you all hate it, why do you hate it?

 

[CptStern]

hey, romans with machine guns, hippies playing jesus and friends ...what's not to like? :E

 

[Gray Fox]

You don't understand I really like the movie, I really do. I especially like the song that judas sings on the beginning, but the rest is pretty beautiful to.

 

[CptStern]

I saw it in the 70's so I dont remember much ...ummm that song that I think Mary sings "I dont know how to love you" or something ...the most famous song from that movie (besides the main song)

 

[Gray Fox]

Well then what the hell are you waiting for, go buy the damn dvd.

 

[CptStern]

meh, I'll wait till it comes on tv next easter ...in school my theology teacher played that album everyday

 

[Wilsonator]

Seen the production and i listen to it, i'm not Christian but hey, i love a good musical.

My school performed it... twas fun (and definately better than doing Fame this year - Fame is utter shite...). We watched the film as background... all I remember was that Judas was one funky brutha and the Jewish Priests banged on scaffolding poles for kicks.

"He is Daaaangeroooousss!!!!" *dongerdongerdongerlong*

I have the soundtrack on my iPod. Great stuff

 

[DeusExMachina]

My school did Godspell...

 

[PoeticRocker]

Great musical - Jeeesus Christ Suuuperstar! LA LALA LA LALA LA LALA!! (gong)

 

[kupocake]

Some of the lyrics are a little inept mind you...

"Can you show me now that I won't be killed in vain!
Show me just a little of your omnipresent brain!"

And the vocalist who played Mary Magdalene on the film version has the bizarre tendancy to do something weird with her voice every five seconds... a music minded person would have a technical term for it. (Verbrato?)

 

[SimonomiS]

Was the guy who played Judas black? Im not sure if we watched a part of this in a Music lesson ages ago.

 

[operative x]

Yeah he was black, it was an awesome movie. The only musical i enjoyed, other than Grease.
EDIT: Just started to download some music of it becuase you guys reminded me of it, good stuff, good stuff indeed.

 

[oldagerocker]

I prefer Monty Pythons - The life of Briain. Much better imo

 

[Gray Fox]

Did that have a meaning that judas was black, like a critisizm. You know that blacks have been used as scapegoats in history, and in the musical by GOD himself.

Anyway if would say I also like the movies Resident Evil, and SW: attack of the clones, would that be going to far, and would you flame my ass. Cause like with this movie, those movies are like hated by everyone but me.

A friend of mine has been watching a live performance like 3 times a week for ages in Derry. Her friend is a little lovestruck with the guy playing Judas in it, and drags her along to every performance she possibly can.
