Hey, Guy!

Did you want to watch the movie together today?

Sure thing. Any idea on what I should vote for?

[earthling]

Good question! I haven't seen any of these before, either. It sounds like a lot of them might be musicals, though?

[nobleman]

What are you going to vote for?

[earthling]

Well, "Jesus Christ" and "Superstar" aren't two words I'd think to put together, so that might be kind of interesting.

On the other hand, I've never been to Rome before, so it might be cool to see a movie that takes place there. (I'm guessing it does, anyway. For all I know, the title could be misleading.)

Might go with the first one, though, just because it's not really something I'd get the chance to watch back home.

I have no idea what Jesus Christ is, but if you think that sounds the most interesting, I'll vote for it.

Oops, I should have explained! Basically, he's someone people in some parts of the world, including my ancestors, worshiped as the son of god and the savior of their world. They were called Christians. I'm not really sure what the movie is about, but I guess he's the main character? He probably dies in it, though, just as a warning.

We can do that, if you think that sounds interesting, or we can pick something else. I don't want to tell you what to vote for! But since you've never seen a musical, maybe we should cross "Roman Holiday" off the list for sure. Someone else on here said it was the only one that didn't have singing in it, and it'd be nice if we could do something a little different each week.

The savior of the world? Why do you think he's going to die in it?

That sounds pretty interesting either way, so I wouldn't mind voting for it.

[earthling]

Like I said, Christianity revolves around the belief that Jesus is divine, so it sort of ties into that?

And I'm almost positive he's going to die in it because a big part of the legend is how occupying forces start seeing him as a threat because of his growing influence. One of his closest followers betrays him, and he winds up getting killed. (Well, I guess he comes back to life afterwards, too, but I don't know how far the movie goes.)

If you're fine with all that, though, we can vote for it, then. Since it's about Jesus, the movie should be taking place about 2,000 years ago (from this time period, not mine). So keep that in mind.

[nobleman]

It definitely sounds interesting. I'll go ahead and vote for it, if you don't mind filling me in while we watch.
