clayhornikSawJesus Christ Superstar tonight at the Naro, the local art-house cinema. Mother refuses to see it. "I know how it ends" she says. She still hasn't seen "Titanic" either.
JCS: the short version- dancing hippies. the long version: wimpy Jesus, cool Judas.
It worked. Even after ... dear God, thirty years. Since everything comes around even the dated stuff comes off as post-modern in a Baz Luhrman kind of way.
The main question of fate and responsibility was pretty heavy... Jesus knows his fate, Judas knows he's responsible for what's going to happen to Jesus, Pilate doesn't want the responsibility for Christ's death, but he's got to take it for the good of the state. Simon's all political, something that *oddly enough* was left out of Sunday school lessons, but not left out of Life of Brian.
It was fun. It was the last show in the Naro's Faith in Film series. I didn't catch any of the other shows. But I did sit in MY seat, the seat I spent over thirty hours one week during the Warner Brothers movie marathon.
