The Bible and Music

Monday, we took a look at Jesus Christ Superstar which is something I had never seen before. We talked a bit about dramatization within the film. Growing up, my mom never let us watch any movies or dramatizations about Jesus she was all about reading the Bible and going to church. Everything I knew was kind of left to interpretation or something I had heard from the pastor. There was an interesting dynamic between Judas and Jesus, it almost seemed as if Judas was trying his hardest to warn Jesus, which makes us feel a little bit of sympathy for him. Judas was more comfortable with the way things had started and he noticed everything was going in a different direction and it was nice to see the change within both characters. What really caught my eye in the film was the clothing they wore. Every time I have seen Jesus, he looks pretty relaxed in his clothing but to see Judas in a leather jacket was a complete shocker.
