This movie was the only English language film playing in Antwerp, Belgium, in 1979, when I lived there. I saw it at least 10 times. My daughter was 8 years old (1992) the first time I watched this film with her. She was going to be a hippie for Halloween so I figured she should see the ultimate hippie movie. This song was where I ended the tape. I don't think she saw how this movie really ended until she was at university. I was at UCLA during the height of the Vietnam war - marched in a lot of protests and watched the fall of Saigon on TV. I did figure 8 was too young for my child to know the depths of the tragedy of war, although by that point I'd had to explain the first Gulf war to her, another tragedy played out on TV,

Some have called this film a Jesus parable. He "willingly?" died in someone else's place.

Yes! Jesus not only died "willingly" to pay the "price" for our sin. (Sin causes death- God being perfectly just required death for the transgression BUT HE IS SIMULTANEOUSLY JUST AND MERCIFUL!!! GENIOUS in that HE died in our place!!! AND
Not only THAT
HE NEVER BLAMED ANYONE
NOT JEWS, ROMANS OR US (I was taught as a Catholic that my sins put Him on that cross! True!
BUT, JESUS SAID!
I LAY DOWN MY LIFE AND IN 3 DAYS I WILL TAKE IT UP AGAIN!!!!
Wouldn't THAT solve alot of the world's problems if we EACH sought to solve the problem and not seek to blame!!!

@safirestudio
I was 4 when I saw this movie 😮😂. I didn't know what was going on but I loved it so much my dad got me the soundtrack on tape and I literally played it to death. The tape one day unraveled and never went back. Saddest day for me. I must've been 6 by then. Still my favorite soundtrack to this day.
