Are there any songs/movies that you disagree with philosophically and politically, but still appreciate as a piece of art?

The La’s: There She Goes

I love this sweet simple little song with a great hook, but I hate that it’s a song about heroin.

A similar question was asked over the summer – can you separate the art from the artist, or the film from the actor, and so on.

My take is that the two are closely intertwined. While I like Wagner’s music, I can’t separate from his views.

I don’t think sex, drugs, and abortion are bringing about the apocalypse but I enjoy and appreciate Leonard Cohen’s “The Future” as a work of art.

“I’m on Fire” by Springsteen is fairly offensive lyrically but I like it.

Chicago. Two cold blooded murderers get off scotfree but I love the music.
Jesus Christ, Superstar. I really enjoy this movie, especially the music, but I don’t believe in religion.

Tons. I’m an atheist also, but there’s a lot of religious art and music that takes my breath away.

Chicago bandmembers were murderers? Or are you referring to lyrics in a song?

Edit: I just realized you’re talking about the movie lol

Music:
I usually enjoy songs that somehow talks about God; though I don’t give a damn about God or feelings towards him; coincidently or not.
It is kind of funny though probably people mind thinks of it as like: so now you believe or are just a hypocrite?

Still, the only one I enjoy as art and has God context are all of Skillet’s songs.
Though the ones I really like to hear and without classifying it as somethings are:

Illenium – God Damnit
“If there is a God, why did he make me?
All of these flaws, is all that I see.
If there is a God, I don’t believe
Someone as perfect as you could love me…”

My One True Friend

“I have walked and I have I prayed.
I could forgive and we could start again.
In the end,
You are my one true friend.”

Movies:
I really like the hopes religious movies brings with itself; even if it is just poetically. Though when there is things like “my religion is better; the truth and all.” it is kinda annoying.
I don’t have a title in minds.

Oh sure! I just can’t say I like them because some poeple will come unglued.

And what @augustlan said, I still love hallijauh some other Christian songs.
