-OH, I love this movie so much! I just got done watching it, but I was highly disappointed to get on this site, and discover that people are comparing it to Jesus Christ Superstar. I actually saw JCS first, and comparing them is like Disney and Stephen King. They are totally different animals.

-Godspell shows the more peaceful side of the last 3 years of Jesus's life, because it is based almost totally on his parables. It is uplifting and shows the love of Jesus, and how truly inspiring his teachings are.

-However, JCS shows the pain and anguish of Jesus, and portrays the more human side. It is less of the teaching, and more of the sacrifice of God.

-I just wish they would show the resurrection, and when I am older and can direct the musicals, i hope to write a resurrection scene for both.

-I know the lyrics to every song in both of them.

-Both movies deserve a 10 out of 10.
