Rae, the last scene shows the cross empty, and the shephard across the bottom of the screen.

Not at all. Any form of spreading Jesus' word is valid. If His message came to teens' hearts on 70's through the musical, it was worth it. Not to mention, Jesus himself was a kinda of a hippie, homeless kind of prophet who used to hang out with thieves and prostitutes. The movie is absolutely close to Jesus' personality in my point of view. Besides the music is outstanding, the vocals are amazing and the way it was presented was simple and wonderful.
Of course Judas had the second leading vocal in the movie. Judas was the second most important figure in the whole passion. Without him, nothing would have come to happen. I refuse the idea that he was evil. He did what he had to do and Jesus himself told him to. He got the coins and threw them away and hung himself, because the pressure of betraying the man he loved was too much for him. Doesn't that prove he was hurt? He was probably the only one who really understood Jesus' mission in life, the most faithful one and the one who accepted to be cursed forever for following Jesus' command.
I like the race mix in the movie, Judas is Afro-American actor and Mary Magdalene is Asian actress, a very good idea! That movie is one of my favorites.
Peace!

I don't know about blasphemous -- that's a pretty strong word. Is it sacreligious? Certainly. C'mon, Judas is practically the star of the show (he has the second largest singing part)! And while there may be some historicity to Mary Magdelene being in love with Christ, it is definitely heretical from the perspective of traditional Christianity.

Does it bring people to see a musical detailing important parts of Jesus' life? Does it give a unique understanding? No, its not blasphemous. Neither is the Davinci Code.

There's nothing in there that goes against the story of Jesus. People just got their panties in a bunch in the 1970's because they considered it appalling that the story of Jesus was put to rock music.

I liked the music but when they leave him in the end it is very blaphemous because they never show the best part of his coming when all sin is put in him, he dies, he is buried, the angel comes, Jesus flys to heaven before the people. He is just left there and that is horrible and unrighteous.

Yeah, pretty much. If you're going to follow a christian path, it's a pretty tight rope to walk.
On the other hand, if you're going to follow a secular path (or other religion's path), then it's no biggie.
It caused an uproar in the 70s.

The ending is a little more realistic than the other version of the passion play.
So given that, I guess many would claim that it is.
Great songs in it though.....Everything alright yes everythings fine....

Speaking against Rogers and Hammerstein is the utmost form of blasphemy

No! It's a great show, and it might make people look Jesus up
