As sad as this is I just saw "Jesus Christ Superstar" the movie yesterday for the first time. I hear alot of people say that it is intended to be a satire of religion, and its supposed to be making fun of Christianity. Maybe Im blind, but I dont see it. Not that Im overly religious or anything, but if anything that movie made me appreciate Christian views more than I did before. The acting was inspired, the music was genius, and the characters were well adapted..... Am I the only one that thinks this is a good movie?dunno

I've watched it a few times. My thought was it was made in the early 70's when we still had the hippy era going on, and it was made sort of in there style to bring them closer to God and Jesus.

Right on!head banger My thoughts are that if something is a door way to people finding thier religious center, then it cant be a bad thing.
