简介:这部音乐剧DVD取材于耶稣的生平事迹,韦伯创新地将严肃的宗教故事和前卫的摇滚音乐联系起来,是一部艺术表现非常大胆、思想性也极为深刻的作品。如果说《约瑟夫与神奇彩衣》是对圣经故事的图解,那么《万世巨星》从表面上看简直就是对传统的颠覆与反动:上帝的儿子耶稣不再时刻带着圣哲的光环,他有软弱,有动摇,更多的人性代替了神性;犹大卖主也不是出自贪婪,而是出自上帝安排的命运,自杀后的犹大穿着白袍带领一个天使唱诗班向耶稣提出几个哲学问题,耶稣竟然也不知道答案。细心的读者不难看出这样的情节安排和电影《耶稣基督的最后诱惑》的相似之处,与后者一样,该剧刚一推出,便遭到了正统宗教人士的强烈抗议,这反而增加了它的知名度,其插曲《我不知如何爱他》(I don\'t know how to love Him)、《万世巨星》(Superstar)长时间徘徊在各大唱片排行榜上。
简介:Gwen Cummings is a successful New York writer living life in the fast lane and everyone's favorite party girl. She shares this roller-coaster lifestyle of hopping from dance club to bar to hangover with boyfriend Jasper-handsome, magnetic and equally attracted to life on the wild side. Life is just an exercise in debauchery-until Gwen's ungraceful display at her sister Lily's wedding, when she gets drunk, commandeers the limo and earns herself a DUI and 28 days in court-ordered rehab. There, Gwen comes face to face with a unique set of rules (like no cell phones) and rituals (like chanting) embraced by an assortment of fascinating fellow re-habbers: Eddie, Gerhardt, Oliver, Andrea, Roshanda, and Billie Jean. A jaded city girl to the core, Gwen is determined not to conform. Then she meets Counselor Cornell, who begins to break through her carefully constructed defenses and force her to take a closer look at who she really is. Ultimately, through the companionship of! her group as well as a devastating loss, Gwen gradually loses her cynicism and begins the long struggle to take back her life. Maybe, she discovers, your insides can match your outsides.
