Most recently I watched
Jesus Christ Superstar (the 2012 live version, technically not a "movie" but it was on dvd, so it counts, dammit!) and
2001: A Space Odyssey.
I wasn't quite sure what to expect out of JCS, as I actually hadn't seen it before, but I have seen Joseph and the Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat, so I knew it was going to be a bit weird, and not straightforwardly religious, which it wasn't (thank the gods for that
). I really liked how it managed to portray how selfish Jesus' followers actually were (and by extension how selfish a lot - though not all - of modern religious people are), with many of the crowd songs being about essentially "Hey Jesus, what can YOU do for ME?" while never doing anything for him. ("Hey JC, JC, won't you die for me?~") Also dammit Andrew Lloyd Webber, that's stuck in my head again >:|
As for
2001, I have no idea what I've just seen, but I loved every second of it. Just looking at the effects alone... it's hard to believe it was made in the '60s. And... yeah, I once read a quote from the creators saying something like "if you understood everything about 2001, we have failed. We wanted to raise more questions than we answered." If that was their goal, they definitely succeeded, and again, I love it.
