- Judas (Carl Anderson) v Jesus (Ted Neeley) showdown is in the focus of attention (against the backdrop of blissful idiocy of other Apostles :)...)

I love how this whole scene is basically a tenor-off between Jesus and Judas.
Chaosdu
Leslie Stevenson do you have turrets or something? I saw your comments on multiple videos and you're really one messed up troll lol
@Kyle Overton "Jesus's mic drop" :D
@Kyle Overton Judas then proceeds to demonstrate more dynamic control than Jesus knew to be humanly possible as he tells him he has no idea what he's gotten himself into.
The amazing fact is that Ted is not actually a pure tenor; he sings very thin and his voice is light, but it was pretty big, more baritonal actually (especially currently). And this makes Ted Neeley even better, because he hits all those high notes which should be very difficult for his voice :-)
"Peter is gonna deny me"
"No"
Title Card: *Peter Denies Jesus*
"It's Always Sunny in Jerusalem"
JohnnyMavers What
AHAHAHAHAHA
it was at 666, but not any more
lmfao
"You'd have managed better if you had it planned" is an important line. I think Judas is puzzled as to the lack of "the plan" and only then realizes everything was going according the plan and the horrible role that he would have to fulfill in it.
Considering the following piece "Garden of Gethsemane", I think you are on to something, there
The thing that sticks out there for me has nothing to do with what you said but you spell realize with a 'z'. I get so fed up with the 's' which seems to be more popular now
He only seems to figure the plan out completely as he goes to hang himself. A sad fate for a man who killed his best friend in an attempt to save him.
And that realization plays into Superstar! The lyrics are Judas basically asking “if this was all planned out, why did it go down like this? There were so many ways that seem more effective.”
@@rmc2001
It's just a British way of spelling.
"You liar, you Judas!"
"Christ, you deserve it!"
Love how the modern usages of their names fits so well.
I love the subtlety of lines like these. :D
It's like swearing by their own names.
Even though weirdly it sounds like Christ is saying Judas doesn't really hate him
Which isn't incompatible with the way people use Judas, it's just... Not the main point of the label.
3:51 "HURRY YOU FOOL!" -Jesus
Noah -Huh?!
What’s really sad and really beautiful about this scene is you see that they both really loved each other, that’s why they’re so bothered and angry. Deep down it’s all passion.
Totally agree, and you see it on display perfectly in the moment around 5:53
I find it amusing because my friend always found it a little goofy how physical the two got in that moment, but I never did, although I couldn't justify it until now. It's because it's damned bittersweet. Being so close with Jesus who he loves and admires and desperately wants to help, but is also simultaneously disgusted and bitter about what he thinks he sees Jesus becoming
That pose..the hands..like the painting...omg
Spot on!
the whole movie
Yes, but at his death, Judas realizing that from the womb he was chosen to be the one to betray Him and Christ knew from the beginning…..can you imagine
“CUT OUT the dramatics you know very well who”
Well if he didn’t he has a prime suspect now
This made me lol
But Jesus knows everything lol
😂😂😂😂
@@elizabethsnow5768 He was giving Judas an opportunity to come forward, which he did. I don’t think this scene is biblical. The Bible doesn’t talk about any argument during the last supper.
@@JohnDoe-gk7ok I agree. However, I'm glad they added it so we could see Jesus's feelings and you almost feel sorry for Judas. Running with the sheep is significant, too.
"Christ, you wanted me to do it, what if I just stayed here and ruined your ambition!!"
That line gives me chills.
me too--you okay? easy is not the best for your friends.
Yes...me2. Deep!!!
That line is hilarious! It shows Judas as knowing prophecy and not being ignorant to what was unfolding.
Owen:
Ruined your ambition? Do you think Christ's ambition was to be killed? Do you believe He was having a lovely time when the nails were being driven through His hands? Would you be looking forward to being tortured yourself, especially if you happen to be innocent of any crime? Would you like to die in shame before the whole world, even as a guilty man? How would you like any of those things yourself?
Jeepers creepers, how preposterous! ... people talk of common sense, but common sense is really the least common of the senses!
Do you really believe the Apostles wanted people to talk about them when they'd died, as the song says? Would even you care about that? If that is your reckoning, then in your view the Apostles were even more ignorant, stupid and immoral than the ordinary Joe.
It'd be a great deal more accurate to say that such may be Tim Rice's ambition!
This song is teeming with blasphemy, as is, for all the beauty of its music, the entire film's lyrics. It's true name is JUDAS SUPERSTAR, because it presents the most base and slow-witted interpretation of the life and purpose of Christ, as viewed by Satan, Tim Rice, and anyone else actuated by the same foolish, envious and self-deceitful spirit.
So much so, that in the end it is Judas who is raised back to life, while Christ is left a dead and forgotten loser. Precisely what Satan and his human agencies would have you believe: that he is the winner.
@@thanksanyway.3330 are you okay buddy?
Neeley and Anderson should have undoubtedly formed a duet and conquered rock and roll once and for all.
80s metal would have benefitted from that
This next scene when Jesus is taking to his father is the most powerful scenes of the entire movie!! It always brings me to tears.
They were best friends and roommates irl. Anderson tried out for the role of Jesus in the initial Broadway run. When he was cast instead as Judas, he called Neely and told him to get to the casting call
the last picnic
I think Jesus would like a picnic for his last super
I think Jesus is actually more human in this depiction than most. Here he actually expresses a lot of intense feelings of sadness, anger, and love. And throughout the musical he's afraid not just of dying, but dying without having anyone left to preform his works and pass on his teachings of love, charity, and humility. Worried that he'll be forgotten by everyone he trusted and tried to help, even knowing his closest friends will betray him
well, the bible did state that Jesus did feel ALL of our emotions, because, like it or not, Jesus was God, but in human form. As such, we have a God who understands our daily struggles and fears.
Not just in a human form, but fully human and fully God in essence.
That’s what Andrew and Tim were going for
That is something I always loved about this movie from my early childhood. Jesus is depicted as a person, not a biblical figure, it makes it much easier to relate.
Patrick Lenigan yes like You say the bible is not a protait of jesus life is just his lessons but there are Many parts were You can see his emotions
1:12 that pause in the same pose as the famous DaVinci painting is so brilliant!
Brooke Therese This is amazing! This be a interpretation of tgis musical a Łódz Music Theatre
YES!
Hey, brooke; if your as old as me than you saw it when it first came out in the drive in. You should have seen the people on top of their cars going at it like the people in the movie. You say brillant; I say WILD.
I get chills every time ❤️
This is one of the best parts in the movie! Love it, so clever! @MartinaTini 234 Tommorow I'm going to see JChS in Łódź Musical Theatre for the third time. So exctied! Our Jesus is exceptional, you can check him out here: ruclips.net/video/CtRI5DS3tJE/видео.html
"Peter will deny me!"
"NO NOT ME!"
Morgan Freeman: And then Peter proceeded to deny him
The irony is that the actor who portrays Peter went on to direct porn… so, yeah, he definitely denied Christ.
@@cloudscarves didn't know you have to deny christ to do porn.
@@cloudscarves Considering that Jesus was friends with Mary, do you really think He'd have a problem with porn?
I mean…it was the 70s.
@@sebastiannemeth-ramirez2160he was against violence and exploitation so yes, he would be against the sex industry, not sex workers. supporting workers means fighting the industry that hurts and exploits them. you don't have to support slavery to support and hang out with enslaved people, just like you don't have to support prostitution to support and hang out with prostituted people. in fact, the two are fundamentally at odds, you can only support one but not the other; supporting both is contradictory and mutually exclusive. what, you think he supported leprosy because he hung out with lepers? mary wasn't a sex worker anyway, that's just a misogynistic patriarchal myth to demean and devalue her importance to jesus and his actual narrative, and dismiss her validity and legitimacy.
I like that Ted Neeley and Carl Anderson were close friends. Makes for great dynamic between the 2 characters!
On a non-related note, your name makes me wanna open a window and yell, "I'm mad as hell and I'm not gonna take it anymore!"
Lol such an epic voice duel. Neeleys: "GET OOOOOOUUUUUTT!!!!" versus Andersons: "I don't understaaaAAaaAAnd!" They are both so brilliant. There will be never a better cast for this musical.
Never
Absolutely.
Especially when the latest rendition features a "glitter lashes" for the torture scene. I took my niece to this one, fully expecting a good and thought provoking musical. What we got, was complete confusion.
@@TallCArabians um, I love the original and have for literally decades, but I was really relieved at the different stage interpretation of the lashes. Do you really need to see that? My inherent empathy and compassion more than made up for what wasn't shown and made it still painful to watch.
@@deprofundis3293 Oh, sure, I get that. My point was that someone completely new and didn't know the story, was completely lost and not impressed with this production. It was very hard to follow the story with such wild interpretations of what was going on. Plus. Glitter. Completely denatures the impact of what's going on. Glitter is happy. The scene was not. Absolutely lost in translation.
"You'd have managed better if you had a plan.”
My dude, you were the plan.
The gnostic interpretation of the Judas story, judas was asked by Jesus to betray him, and judas obliged because he was one of the only students of Jesus that truly understood his teachings. (Gonsticsim is all about reaching enlightenment and seeing beyond the veil of the material world to understand true divinity.)
And when he realizes whom Jesus was…well, the tree…..
@@Shinigami13133 the greatest interpretation is scripture..the relationship there and the greatest visual was Passion of The Christ….it was because Judas understood the teaching and thought Jesus would do better contending with Rome….it was known long before that Judas would be the one
I didn’t even see jeues crist superstar
And it's crazy cause of Judas's lines "cut out the dramatics you know very well who! You wanted me to do it!!" I always thought he said that because he suspect Jesus knew bc he really did have an all knowing power but what if it's to be interpreted that Jesus had asked him and that's why Judas said "you wanted me to do it!"
I love Judas's face when Jesus says "this is my body you eat" 😂
Guilty! But I'm still eating it!
He's more upset at the accusation. "For all you care, this bread could be my body." Judas is the only one there who does care. He only eats when Jesus says "as long as you remember me when you eat and drink."
Every word here is calculated to get Judas' emotions up, Jesus is manipulating him into the betrayal, and Judas knows. He knows, but he'll do it anyway, partly to preserve the original message Jesus was spreading, and partly because he knows Jesus wants it, which he can't understand.
There is so much subtext in this song, I love it.
JA JUDAS FÅR DÅRLIG SMAG I MUNDEN DEREFTER KYSSEDE HAN HAM PÅ KINDEN OG JESUS SKÆBNE VAR FORSEGLET ALT DETTE VISTE HAN INDEN DET SKETE DET VAR JUDASES SKÆBNE AT FORRÅDE HAM ORET LØD KÆRLIGHED OG ORET VAR GUD VH THCX THOMAS
@Apostate of Doom Judas is not following Jesus. He is more concerned with himself. The relationship with Jesus is not a true connection with Jesus. He is to be pitied because it says in the scriptures that woe to him.
Some bibles told that Jesus wanted to open a jar of mayonnaise but Judas stopped last moment
Carl Anderson's voice in this, and in the whole movie truly separates himself from so many great performers
Rest in peace to this man. So powerful, and undeniable in this role
Like Ted he owns the role all others are posers and meh
@@threalismaradona9899Personally, I think Ted’s voice for the role of Jesus Christ worked in his prime between his 20s-30s. It was a high baritone with a gravelly edge that worked well for the 70s rock star aspect of JC, but, even then, you could tell that he wasn’t exactly comfortable in his upper range either. It sounded nice for the time. Even singers who consistently practice superb technique and stay healthy into middle age and beyond, will never sound exactly like they did between their mid-twenties to thirties (vocal prime). As we age, we inevitably change. That being said, I think Neely was a chain smoker, and he was a baritone who didn’t really practice good technique when belting all those high notes as JC. It clearly took a toll on his voice with age, even if it sounded awesome when he was in his prime singing this role.
"Peter will deny me"
*NO NOT ME*
Strike 1, buddy
Well later on he does it 3 times. ;)
That got me :) I must laught now :)
@@rainix3098 and Rosie Yes St Pieter did and now is not In the heaven only as a gate keeper !! Is not the same is it? Kidding but is a fact
😂 Brilliant
Thank you for this comment Žonatan Rivera, thank you.
This was one if the most intense duets ever, I get goose bumps every time I hear it.
I would have loved to see a Carl Anderson/Ian Gillian combo
It's got nothing on the 2000 version, I think.
Why?
@@Drjackstraw Genuinely concerning take. The 2000 version feels like a cheap knockoff of this brilliance.
The love-hate relationship between Jesus and Judas in this version of the musical is miraculous
"nO nOt Me"
Thank you Peter, that was something that we all needed to see and hear in the final cut
Say what you want, this rendition is the most empathic and sensitive version of The Last Supper that I've seen so far
5:36 i really love the expression that Judas has as he says “Everytime I look at you, I don’t understand...”
I also like that as he approaches, Jesus raises his hand, but it’s Judas who touches him, and refuses to let Jesus touch him while singing in agony.
It really echos that moment in Heaven on their minds where Judas says “it’s beautiful but now its sour, it’s all gone sour. Listen to me, jesus, listen, ah...”
I feel a sensation of an old friendship; as If Judas knew that Jesus would end up on a cross, and he was so sad to see his friend die because of him.
It was all part of the master plan
Please don't blaspheme, this musical is Satanic lies the only thing we need to know about Judas is that he rots in hell thank you !!! 😊
4:58 - 5:26
One of the best parts in the whole movie! Carl Anderson just rocked this role.
+Slick Vic - 5:36
+Slick Vic I hate that this part is so short.
5:28 The moment Jesus shows how to get a high note and I got surprised first time I heard
I've read somhewhere that Ted Neelay became a Christian during time, i. e. in contact with his role. Happy Easter!
5:36 are the most powerful lines in the entire movie
"Then when we retire we can write the gospels so they will still all talk about us when we' ve died"
this line always give me chills
@Toucan Zan well I think they wrote it for power and control they effectively started there own cult which spread to destroy rome
@Toucan Zan bro its little bro then 90 pages how the fuck you made this this shit up. each one is just from a different point of view so its just really 20 pages. THATS ALL ffs. read a history book bro cause I know you didn't read the gospels, makingshit up like that
@Toucan Zan then you know Jesus was actory an alien invasion force, first stage in taking over the planet. Just look at the painting from the 1500 century before the Vatican burned the books. Called Jesus baptism
@Toucan Zan what your any better? You have a book writen 2000 years age some some guy walking on water and turning water to wine and it's never be abled to be produced since. "Bro don't look at the dirt in your brothers eye but first your own - Jesus Christ. Who you calling foolish and who's these people your referring to people can make up there own fucking mind cunt regardless of the shit you say. It once again says your full shit. There's clearly a UFO in that painting!! Woke up steeple
Yessss thats the story
This movie should have been nominated for an Oscar for best picture, lead actor, directing and score. Wow!🤗
I agree although the score wasn't written for the film, so I don't know if that would've disqualified it.
Just think about how many best picture Oscar winners have been forgotten while this masterpiece continues to find a new audience every generation and is as relevant now as forty years ago. I’m an atheist, but still know pure art when exposed to it and this is nothing but pure art. You can thank Norman Jewison who not only directed this movie, but pitched it to Universal as a feature film and cast both Anderson and Neely in the main roles. How many best picture Oscar winners can you name? Five? Ten? It’s always that way. Most best picture winners are forgotten within a few years while great works of art like this are never forgotten.
Wolverine Smith It is definitely a perfect blend of elements including great casting and directing, but there is no doubt that the soundtrack makes it. What would it be without the songs? Not only are the compositions and lyrics outstanding, but they show off the vocal range of the singers.
Which actor are you talking about- Jesus or Judas? Both are brilliant, so I'm just curious
@@jackmoody5174 i know! Who is really the lead in this film? Jesus or Judas? Thats how good it is... you cant tell who the protagonist is
Two of the greatest vocal performances ever. Anderson and Neeley, incredible artists.
My mom wanted to throw this album out when I got it in 1974 ( I was a teen) I said "will you ar least listen to it"? She said yes, she did, and became a huge fan.
Aww cool story!
imagine wanting to throw out a masterpiece..glad she loved it tho!!
When one song helps your faith ten times more than going to Church your whole life....
I felt it too.
how so?
Not only a song...the whole film has always had more effect on me than going to church. It's amazing
You've been going to wrong church mate
NightGallows I don't hate going, but church is honestly the most boring shit ever, even someone's wedding I'm like omg here we go
Love the symbolism of the sheep following their shepherd
I Heard that was a coincidence.
Fingol firn *herd
Happy little accident.
Or destiny
For years I have watched this scene and today I noticed the jug he uses to wash the disciples hands with water is the same jug he uses to pour the wine. How did I not get the water into wine reference earlier on?
Rosie Summer oh crap
A miracle, what else?
Omg lol
Actually I rewatched this scene with this in mind, and it's not. He puts the jug of water behind him when he sits down. You can see the jug of wine in front of him and it's smaller and looks different.
Ok never noticed good point out
Carls face,"Cut out the dramatics..."love this. So poignant
I love how they sit down and strike the pose of the Last Supper
I remember watching the scene of Judas running away with the sheep as child and thinking he was stealing the sheep...
+Tafami hahahahahhhaha my little brother thought the same too when he was a kid x'DD
belustar19 I was upset about the stolen sheep too.,,until the crucifixion utterly wrecked me.
nobody caught on he was the black sheep
Anthony Soprano badum tish...
we kids thought it was funny too cause he was skipping amongst them, and i learned on the DVD commentary that Carl Anderson was a bit scared because he had run into the sheep by accident and they started stampeding out of there.
Also, for some reason we giggled when he couldn't contain his guilt, and Jesus was saying one of the chosen would betray Him and Judas just yelled "Cut out the dramatics! You know very well who."
When the rock opera Jesus Christ Superstar came out my mother, who took me and 4 siblings to church every Sunday, went out and bought the soundtrack. She said she didn't understand why "the establishment" criticized it because in her opinion it was taken directly from the Bible.
Carl Anderson & Ted Neeley = MAGIC
Is Ted Asian ?
Weird question. No, he’s a white guy from small town Texas.
5:00 - 6:10 is easily the most intense minute of music, and of cinema, ever made.
" I must be mad thinking i'll be remembered yes I must be out of my head"
This scene from beginning to end had me glued. Ted and Carl were mesmerizing here. Portraying Jesus' hurt and anger at Judas, and Judas' being torn on betraying Jesus, so he turns on Jesus. The back and forth tension, anger, portrayed in the genius lyrics and vocals is nothing short of pure brilliance from Tim Rice, Ted Neeley and Carl Anderson.
You can't not mention Andrew Lloyd Webber for the wonderful compositions that render the lyrics so heart wrenching. And the lyrics of course do the same for the melodies. A perfect union. Andrew was just 22 years old when he wrote this and Tim Rice 26. GENIUSES.
@@penname5766 In fact, they wrote the rock opera as a concept album in 1969, way before the movie adaptation which came out in 1973. They were respectively 20 and 23 when they created this masterpiece.
@@penname5766 yes, exactly!
Not only the DaVinci Reenactment is amazing.. It's also the Fact the this took place in Gethsemane.. like the place itself
There’s another small detail. When Jesus says “This is my body you eat” he is staring directly at Judas, whose head dips in shame
This was an excellent movie. They could not have picked a better cast. Ted has an amazing voice and played JC to the hilt.
Ted isn't the one who sings though.. he's just lip singing in this movie. The actual voice of Jesus is the singer from the rock band deep purple. but he does sing though.
That is Ted, I am pretty sure. They were wanting Ian Gillan to play the part originally (he did the recording for the concept album), but he was doing his Deep Purple Tour and turned down the offer. His interpretation of the song is very different when compared to Neeley
@@leaheddleston8322 What are you saying? Ian Gillan has a completely different voice. He only spent 1 day recording JC lines for the album. Ted Neely was singing JC part in theater for decades after this movie.
Leah Eddleston no, Ian Gillian only sang the original soundtrack and then couldn’t do the movie because he was working with his band. The movie and then the Broadway show was Ted 100%
ted is excellent, but Carl is just perfect
I love how 90% of the comments are about the obvious religious stuff (Jesus & Judas debating etc.) or who played better who (the roles) but I'm only here to enjoy the absolutely beautiful music...
"against the backdrop of blissful idiocy of other Apostles."
This is an excellent description of one of the pervading motifs throughout this film/musical.
True. Although even in the film, the apostles aren't totally oblivious when Jesus and Judas are yelling at each other.
I’ve watched this so many times over nearly 50 years, ....
This scene doesn’t just break the heart, it rips it out & stamps on it! ...
Every time the same effect.. tears fall....
I wonder why I don’t ever get used to it! ......I don’t want to get used to it! 💕
Same for me and the Gethsemane scene triggers a deep awareness, sadness as it affects my heart and soul as well. Many musicals coming from this time period were trying to reach people to stop war, hate, fear through love and tolerance. I think the reason many remakes fail at even coming close to original performers and acting is the amount of actual work and craft needed to make the experience authentic. I'm not saying it doesn't happen now, but during the 70's there were many people wanting civil rights in all areas of life and these people pushed forward in a way that you can feel in their singing and acting. The making of this musical/movie was an enormous challenge for everyone, yet they did such an amazing job that even the minor special effects used actually added to the wonder. I will always love this version of JCS.
This is the most relatable argument in a song I have ever heard. They way they alternatively shout at each other and are overcome with grief is just the heart and soul of a painful argument between two very good friends.
Carl Anderson should have gotten a Best Supporting Actor nomination .
Well we must remember this was the 1970s
And sadly well,
Not everyone was treated with the respect they deserve.
Not only is this superb singing this is amazing acting. My boy straight ran through a herd of sheep...I'd have been terrified
Woah what a plot twist, never would have guessed it was Judas 😱
Peter’s “No, not me!” is just so gosh darn hilarious lol
Second only to Simon's "Hey, cool it, man" in Strange Thing Mystifying. 😂
Fantastic music. I also find it great how logical and sympathetic Judas is in this. Carl Anderson is the man!
shadowofthestatue sad loss for all. he was an amazing talent.
I remember when I first saw this with my Aunt and Cousin, when it first came out! It was WONDERFUL then, and it still is!!!!
The black man who starred JUDAS had a very powerful voice.... What a pity he has alredy died.
his name is Carl Anderson!!!
His voice was AMAZING!
I read that as Carl Awesome for a moment and was surprised at the appropriate name.
Listen to Lenny kravitz....
Leukemia is such a horrible way to die.
Jesus Christ Superstar is one of the first rock music videos and longest.
I LUV THE HIPPIE INFLUENCE OF THIS MOVIE. \m/
Judas is the passionate, emotional soul singer. He feels they have no hope anymore so why try? Jesus is the technical, operatic rock singer. He is a part of the omnipresent force of God. Poor guys... They couldn't take the "masta plan" but neither can I. I miss Carl Anderson :(
I feel like Jesus is full of even more despair than Judas, considering Gethsemane and the fact that he knows 'the plan' and has for some time
I hear a pure Rock voice from Neely, with Jazz phrasing. Most other men in the role are sadly operatic or Broadway-fabulous, without Neely's desperate passion
best Musical of all time, seriously
The last supper pose. I like how they put that in this film.
0:19 - 0:33 Never noticed this but I love the symbolism. The reflection of sheep, then the reflection of the apostles. Like sheep without a shepherd, the apostles would soon disperse
Wow! What a vocal duel! Amazing “duet”. One of the best of all time.
Check out Tony Hadley and Roger Daltrey's version from the 1996 BBC broadcast version of Jesus Christ Superstar. It is killer!
Karl Anderson is the best voice in this amazing historical movie. Love from Sweden💛💙
Can I say this officially the best last supper I have seen in JCS. Like Judas calls Jesus out on acting like a higher bean by giving him his coat after the fight. Then judas calls him out on it. Jesus gets frustrated because Judas knows Jesus is afraid underneath this whole calm facade that isn't shown to anyone other then the observers. The other thing that makes this great is the pauses that you don't see in JCS 2000 or in a stage performance. Really makes this the best. This is the most og version and it's a shame it hasn't been remastered to cut out the noise because this has in my opinion the best Jesus, Judas, and Mary all in one film. It's just amazing and was ahead of its Time ironically
I think he is also hurt that the only one who understands that he is terrified is the one who turned his back on him.
Damn Carl Anderson, damn. What a voice.
they all superb performers, each one using his own voice.....full stop !
Judas - ...."You'd of managed better if you had it planned!..." He did Judas, He did!!!!
Ted and Carl gave the best vocal performance ever and make you believe that they were best friends and Judas was heartbroken that he had a job to carry out even though he didn’t want to to and couldn’t live with his job.
What an incredible performance. Their singing is superb of course. But their acting.. pheeww. Incredible. You really feel the struggle and torment of their relationship.
One of you denies me. One of you betrays me. One more of you also has to leave because the CDC says we can't have more than ten people here.
Hahahahaha
*than
Oh, and three would have to leave. Jesus and The Twelve... 13 gathered.
@@soslothful yeah that was the joke. 13, one denies and leaves, one betrays and leaves, so jesus says one more has to leave to bring it down to ten.. that was the joke bud.
@@Mandolorian1001 Ah! higher math always trips me up.
No disrespect to Ian Gillan and Murray Head who were first and great, but Ted Neely and Carl Anderson own all of their performances in the movie version and film soundtrack.
Sim
Always hope that i'd an Apostle, knew that I'd make it if i tried, then when we retire we can write, Gospels, so they still talk about us when we die.
one of the best scenes and songs. Jesus' growing doubt and observation of his followers, followed by the inevitable falling out with Judas. So powerful
Two of the world's best singers and legends!!
10/10 impossible to re-act a such perfect film, no remake ever will take the place of this movie!!!!!!
"What's that in the bread it's gone to my head!"
Grew up with my dad singing me these songs and going to the plays... didn’t appreciate it much back then but now I ugly cry every time
5:30 gets me every time: its easily one of the most powerful moments in any movie I've ever seen.
+Richard Mulledy I KNOW it gives me chills!
Richard Mulledy j
Same! Sooo good!
Get out!!! They`re waiting .......
GET OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOUT!!!
This version feels... human, real. Judas and Jesus connect and have a bond that you can feel.
Carl Anderson did an excellent job as Judas.
This is the best rendition of the musical. I don't really care for the 2000 version. Jesus had a creepy smile that seemed wrong. Ted portrays a sadness to the role that is spot on.
And pilot in his SS Troop garb
The soulful performances always captivated me. Mum had this on VHS we watched it alot. It makes more sense now. This was always my favorite song... The interactions with the singing. The disciples did fall asleep three times while jesus was crying bloody tears on his knees 😞😞
The emotion between Jesus and Judas .... Very well acted.
God bless the name of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ ♥️💜
Carl Anderson deserved an Oscar in this movie...
'everytime i look at you i dont understand why you let the things you do get so out of hand'
The speech at 5:00 is what makes this musical to me, you can see both points and you can't help but to understand Judas....
"Every time I look at you, I don't understand, why you let the things you did get so out of hand?? You could handed better if you had it planned..."
I was 14 when this came out...now I’m the Jaded Faded Mandarin.
The worst thing about betrayal is that it never comes from your enemies.
Agreed
I mean...that’s the definition of a betrayal...
This version is also my favorite movie version of the musical! The production value may have sucked but the director really captured who the characters historically were and we all loved the characters no matter what. And Ted Neeley and Carl Anderson were perfect as Jesus and judas! You really felt the conflict in judas and the love Jesus had for everyone, especially Judas! Unlike the 2000 version where they hated each other. I actually got close to tears during that last section
Production value just adds to the movies character.
I didn't care for the 2000 Judas either; he seemed very cynical and dispassionate although his singing was fine. I also loved Tim Minchin's version of the finale.
Ted Neely had an amazing voice but man, Carl Anderson's overall performance was the best thing in the whole film. Such intensity!
This part really makes me get emotional, when Judas runs away and the goats follow after him because they’re all scared and wild. The guy playing Jesus looked so sad too and heartbroken 😔
5:26...kicking somebody out of your party like a boss since 1973!
I truly believe that the most remarkable and deepest love and respect was between Jesus and Judas. Just another heartfelt loss to bear.
if it had actually gone down just like this, with the singing and the outfits, i'd totally be a christian.
ismokeweed420 the belief isnt about how cool he was its about how he was
ismokeweed420 i love ALL of the costumes! still cool today! maybe not to everyone, but i would wear them. i especially love what Judas is wearing.
themikerophone1 Now come on. If you would find a religion that is so much better, like with free cookies and stuff like that, I totally believe everyone would run there.

If "Free cookies" is the deciding factor on what religion you follow, you need to reconsider your life.
I'm an atheist and I totally agree, man.
„Jesus Christ Superstar” (movie & album) is a masterpiece!
Jesus LOVED Judas so much!!!! It's HEARTBREAKING the way that Judas turned on him!!!! I think that Judas wanted to change his mind at the end, but maybe felt it was too late! Then he couldn't live with himself, so he took his own life!
He did regret it at the end. Ever since I was a kid I always thought the punishment was too great for his crime. Jesus loved Judas and surely he'd be forgiven.
@@vanyadolly Judas' outfit and company in the closing number of this musical seem to imply he made it to heaven, at least
The funny thing is Jesus needed to make judas hate him for the plan to work. Judas had no clue the plan was for Jesus to die so original sin to be absolved.... And Jesus could say nothing, and in the end the plan happened but at a cost. What happens afterwards is down to your denominations some say Judas was damned but if look at it(really look from an objective view) Judas played his part and by all accounts absolved and went up only to be shunned
This is my favourite part of the musical: the contrast between the three times repeated apostles' hymn, happy and hopeful, and the two in the middle of them, angry and painful, is awesome, expecially when at the end of the first "... they all talk about us when we've died" the bright major-tone atmosphere changes suddenly in the dark minor-tone modulating "The end is just a little harder..." (1:00 - 1:20). Simply sublime.
I can think of no better performance that exists, of conflicted love and painful ambivalence. Just… beautiful and powerful. Layers of context behind each word and expression!!
Absolutely, without question incredible music! Amazingly powerful adaptation of the written word.
A pure classic of the 70's!!!! I breaks my heart 6:10. God Bless Ted and Carl for their role in this production. Thank for posting!
