Title: A much more positive alternative to Jesus Christ Superstar
Review: I've been a fan of Godspell since I first saw it on the stage (about a year before the movie came out, I think). While the professional stage productions were generally better, the movie is still very good.One warning: you have to approach it with your mind in a very abstract mode. Some have mentioned the fact that John the Baptist and Judas are played by the same actor: in fact, the only actor that I've noticed having any fixed identity is Jesus. The others seem to move in and out of the roles of specific Biblical characters as the scene warrants. And you have to understand that they're not making fun of the Bible - rather, they're showing a side of Jesus that, although it certainly existed, is rarely portrayed: the humor, the happiness, the kind teacher rather than the stern lecturer.
