Subject of today: Jesus Christ!

Since I was watching Jesus Christ Superstar, and during Easter I watched Last passion of the Christ, I been thinking. And no. I didn't turn into a believer on your ass. Honestly. What do you think of me?*snicker* I just have a thing for biblical stories. Because they are pretty awesome stories, really. Fantastical even. And people complain with fantasy-readers that they are reading fantasy... The Bible it self is one big fantasy-story to me. :-) Don't shoot me now. You wanna believe in it, that is fine. That is just my view of said book.

I must say Andrew Lloyd Webber sure got some balls to do a musical about Jesus. I checked the extra materials on the Jesus Christ Superstar DVD when i watched it the other day. Apparently it was quite a riot about it during the 70's when it first started to play... Was interesting to see. Even more interesting is that said musical was running that long! They showed pictures from the 25th anniversary! I think it was running a few more years then that. Quite amazing.

And then there is Last passion of the Christ. Lets see... what does said movie have to do with said musical? Both caused an uproar,they did. And both doesn't turn away from the ugliness that is written in the bible. They do it in different ways, for sure. Lots of torture and blood in the Passion. And in Superstar, lots of human weaknesses in Jesus.Not to forget that Judas is freaking HOT in Superstar! But that might be my weakness for broody black dressed rocker men...

Gah! I got music on the brain! And I do mean Jesus Christ Superstar. The music is stuck in my head. Bah. I can not get it out!!!*goes mental* Hence the long entry...
