I dunno. I've kinda always imagined Jesus like this. Fun-loving. Deep. Approachable. With an easy smile. Loves it when the people are happy in their lives. Makes sense to me.
@marsalo08 it is like you see this beautiful message that just wants people to learn to love and be near to God and you pluck some small thing to sour the message and in by doing so serves no other point but to contribute the the ongoing malaise of our already critically damaged spirituality. You look and see 'clown' I look and see safety and acceptance, why make the world colder than it already is.
@marsalo08 True, Jesus was not a clown, but is surface more important than substance? Some would argue that you need to have to take this seriously, using only the King James verses or Latin. I THINK what they were trying to do was make message so it would reach a wide variety of people...my opinion and it's just from watching it a good 40 times.
I must have seen this movie/musical about 100 times when I was a kid, cos I loved it so much. Although the outfits and the sound are dated, it still takes me back to a simpler time. The other funny thing is, that only recently did I realize that Jack Bristow(Victor Garber) was the guy who played Jesus.
Esse musical .. trouxe para minha infância as primeiras noções de quem era o Senhor .. Quando assisti .. era criança ..mas a mensagem ficou em mim .. Que bom seria se as igrejas se despissem de seus preconceitos e prestassem atenção na mensagem .. que é passada através dessas canções.. Menos fachada e mais amor ..
Check out my daughter's video @ GodSpell - Bless the Lord My Soul - Samantha Marie Migneault . For some reason I'm not able to attach her video here as a response. Thanks
I saw this movie in 1974 when it was shown on T.V. - never grew tired of it. I just saw last Easter on AMC, no commercial interruptions, and I was just as captivated as I was then. Really a beautiful all-time classic for all ages. This is perhpas my most favorite pieces in the entire film. Just a shame that it appears to cut off at the last few notes at 6:42. Anything you could do to correct that? Peace. :-)
This is so damn satisfying even completely apart from the context of the story and the movie, just seeing people in the middle of New York City walk away from their unfulfilling day jobs and jump in the fountain. Can't say I haven't wanted to do the same and my office isn't that far from where they filmed this....
@clemdane DO it!!!! Now, THAT would be a cool Flash Mob dance to do, wouldn't it? Get a handful of people to remake this scene in that fountain in the middle of lunch hour!
I noticed in this film, when they're on top of the WTC, there's construction equipment visible..................when this was filmed, the towers apparently weren't finished yet.
i dont think he slapped her butt,i think she just had her hands behind her so he could give her a high five,or did he hit someone elses? i'm confused lol
@SNB222 it is symbolic. The superman for ability and expectations (miracles). The make-up is that of a mime/clown. To many in His time he was seen as a performer.
I first saw the movie back in 1973 (?) when I was 7 yrs. old. I totally "dug" the music. Although I was raised in a Christian home, at that age I didn't really "get" how deep the message was (or how clever the setting of the play) until a few yrs later when I saw a live performance of the show. Ever since then I end up a blubbering mess I see Godspell! EVERYONE should see this movie or the play! Then I think people would truly "get" it!
@darkkramer666 YOU STILL CAN FEEL THAT WAY NOW WITH THE MAGIC OF DVD AND LOVE IN YOUR HEART THE FEELING AND CLOSENESS YOU HAVE WITH JESUS NEVER HAS TO DIE!!!!!
@darkkramer666 Yeah, me too - it was before the Imperialist tendencies of the 80s sterilized Christianity for the rich and privileged. I am sure that the spirit of Constantine grimaces from Hell at the spectacle of establishment "Christians" who have access to money, power, and sex but don't give a darn for the poor, the children, or God's earth. The Philistines are still with us.
I think a lot of people missed out on a pretty big message that everyone in my English I class missed out on when we watched Leonardo DiCaprio in Romeo and Juliet.
The message, or part of it, isn't that we can teach gospel without being preachy, so much as that it can work in any time we set it in. If I had the time or money, I could make my own version of Godspell set in 2011.
I remember all of these songs from the 70's so well. So when my son told me that he would be playing in the orchestra at University of North Texas for a production of Godspell, I had to come over to you-tube and play some of the music from it. Imagine my surprise when I realized that Victor Garber played Jesus in this production. Why couldn't I remember that part?!! LOL
I've never been deeply religious, but I've always loved Godspell and Jesus Christ: Superstar. My family saw both in theaters in the '70s, and I watched Betamax copies growing up. Copied from TV of course!
You know what, those of you who do not believe in Christ, go ahead, don't believe, just don't go around trying to convice us he doesn't exist, I believe he does.
I just feel like if you don't believe in Christ then quit talking about it, let it go, just know...I believe God loves you either way.
@EHOWATT100 I know, currently im in my schools production of Godspell haha, but theres people who comment this video that dont and they try to disprove God..it bugs me sometimes.
Isn't nice how the Jesus Movement didn't convolute the gospels or turn them into legalistic religious pollution and were taken at face value? It's so sad these days to see how "stiff" and condemning some Christians are. It was during the Jesus Freak Movement that I learned the Father isn't some hateful, spiteful, vengeful God waiting for me to make one mistake so He could zap me and make my life miserable. Shame on those who would have others believe God is indeed out to get ya.
@CootsMayhem I know what an 8-track is! and had one that actually worked until the mid-1980s (by then they were obsolete) And we had the Theater version of this on 8-track!
Halleluyah! This brings such wonderful memories! I had the JOY of being in a production of "Godspell" back in '92 and it was one of the truly BEST times of my life!! I wept when we struck the set. I hope more young people learn about this "funderful" musical and I hope that there is a big Broadway revival of it-with touring casts and the whole thing! It is so bizarre that the stuffed shirts thought it was "blasphemous" when it first came out!! Make a joyful noise unto the Lord!!!
It is the Second Sunday of Advent. The scripture that goes with this is in this song. I never knew way back when I was a part of this musical-before this movie-that it was about John the Baptist. Cool. Not with a "K" either!!! Then things were "COOL"!!!!!!!!!!!!
i was separate from all church at the time of my metanoia. I searched for people with the same experience and found them so excited about this powerful outpouring of God..a call that upheaved ones whole attitude! Others were suddenly describing the same feelings like being baptised not just with water but with the Holy Spirit! I read the whole book of Romans from a bible that some woman named LaVern gave me. I completely changed. i had an exciting new faith in my heart. ah those seventies!
I wonder if Godstrophyofgrace is related to DickCArbiter who makes similar comments about the youtube video "JK Wedding Entrance Dance". Both are of the same mold of those people who believe that their interpretation of who God is and what He wants is the only one possible. Kind of reminds me of the Taliban.
If everyone gets a chance, go see the stage productions of Hair, Jesus Christ Superstar, and Godspell. It will give you a better contextual understanding of the late 60s and early 70s.
In the interest of honesty, I have been there and done that. I made an ass of myself several times before I deeply learned a painful truth: It is very hard to get off a high horse - gracefully....
I is also impossible to love, as Christ loved us, as long as we are on that high horse.
The list of fruit(s) of the Spirit (Gal 5:22 (KJV!)) fails to mention anger, judgmentalism, and self-righteousness - which dominate several posts. I am convinced that LOUD defenders of God, the Bible, or a version, are the ones feeling threatened - and NOT Him!
And, three cheers for the clown image! Traditional clowns had all sorts of bad things, and dirty tricks, happen to them - but they always won in the end! Just like the Jesus I know. Like Paul "I know WHOM I have believed...."
@Anaris10you clearly know nothing of the one TRUE GOD! and your comment to me makes no sense. I said nothing about love...what dope do you smoke when trying to sound smart? I am not a prophet! but I KNOW what my KING JAMES BIBLE tells me about God and I am sure He didnt play any part in the movie! thats all I was saying. So take your craziness somewhere else....
@Godstrophyofgrace - I humbly submit that God, based on the KJV, did indeed play a role (no pun intended) in Godspell -
Isaiah 55:11 - So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall NOT return unto me void, but it SHALL ACCOMPLISH that which I please, and it SHALL PROSPER [in the thing] whereto I sent it.
Philippians 1:18 - What then? notwithstanding, EVERY WAY, whether in PRETENSE, or in TRUTH, CHRIST is preached; and I therein DO rejoice, yea, and WILL rejoice...
Boss: So, why did you just leave work in the middle of the meeting? You: I heard John The Baptist singing...and um.. yeah. Boss: Oh... Mabey you should take some time off....
@INGRAMDR I don't know about that. My high school did this back in the late 90's. And a kids' theater group near my home did this just last year. Luckily, not everyone freaks out about offending folk and just concentrates on preforming a fantastic musical.
God isn't in this movie at all. This is downright blasephmy!!! the man slaps the girls but in this scene is rediculous! My God is holy and righteous. Never would this be going on in his presence.
@Godstrophyofgrace Oh,your god is righteous and you are a god fearing person?...Sad,that you must FEAR your god..so much for all that LOVE you like to talk about.and you even presume to speak for your god!..you are then,a prophet?...
@Godstrophyofgrace Do you think that every slap on every butt is sexual? Pro atheletes do it all the time. This movie brought a lot of people to God's love. By the way, God invented sex. I don't think he wants you or anyone else to be so prudish that you miss the point of beautiful movies like this one and Jesus Christ Superstar that reach the hearts of so many that were turned off by stuffy, holier than thou churches. That kind of church can do more harm than any innocent slap on a rump.
@EmpressOfWyoming58 im sorry that you are so blind to the reality of a HOLY GOD! did you ever read the bible? never once did Jesus even have a woman in his presence and he touches her!!! I cant believe that you are trying to compare this to men slapping each other ...this was a man on woman slap and yes i do think in this case it was sexual and i REALLY dont believe Jesus Christ Lord of Lords the only man who ever walked on this earth who NEVER committed one sin would act in this manner! I
My eight year old daughter chose to dress up as Jesus from Godspell this Halloween. I couldn't be more proud, this movie and it's message makes me cry tears of joy everytime! In fact just this little segment made me cry. If only this was the real world what a beautiful world it would be indeed.
@workingtitle43 Very funny. Kevin Clash was born in 1960 and this movie came out in 1973 so he would've been a little young to be in the movie, wouldn't he?!?! :o)
@dotmacis listen broski, im sorry if that's true but now everyone says that about their moms when someone says something about them, and i cant be sure and..... wait how did we get into this argument.... oh yahh me thinking black guy was elmo, i meant that he sounded like elmo but i can see why you fuck it, i actually thought he was elmo but whatevs
@greenfarmer60 Theatrically and ironically it makes sense. Don't forget that John the Baptist was beheaded on a whim by Herod. And we all know what Judas did. There are only 3 biblical characters in Godspell. Jesus, John the Baptist and Judas. The other characters just use their real names. They are just like you and I. Most of us will never just drop everything nor does God want us to. But if what we do to survive is a detriment to society, humanity and God then we should change up.
Ei MauMau, pelo visto você é brasileiro. Olha, grande filme. Cheguei a ver na sessão da tarde. Pelo que me lembro, o ator que faz João Batista também faz Judas. Confere. E quem é Jesus Cristo? Ele é bem parecido com o Harpo. Grande postagem.

Halleluyah! This brings such wonderful memories! I had the JOY of being in a production of "Godspell" back in '92 and it was one of the truly BEST times of my life!! I wept when we struck the set. I hope more young people learn about this "funderful" musical and I hope that there is a big Broadway revival of it-with touring casts and the whole thing! It is so bizarre that the stuffed shirts thought it was "blasphemous" when it first came out!! Make a joyful noise unto the Lord!!!

It is the Second Sunday of Advent. The scripture that goes with this is in this song. I never knew way back when I was a part of this musical-before this movie-that it was about John the Baptist. Cool. Not with a "K" either!!! Then things were "COOL"!!!!!!!!!!!!
It still so is!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i was separate from all church at the time of my metanoia. I searched for people with the same experience and found them so excited about this powerful outpouring of God..a call that upheaved ones whole attitude! Others were suddenly describing the same feelings like being baptised not just with water but with the Holy Spirit! I read the whole book of Romans from a bible that some woman named LaVern gave me. I completely changed. i had an exciting new faith in my heart. ah those seventies!

I wonder if Godstrophyofgrace is related to DickCArbiter who makes similar comments about the youtube video "JK Wedding Entrance Dance". Both are of the same mold of those people who believe that their interpretation of who God is and what He wants is the only one possible. Kind of reminds me of the Taliban.

If everyone gets a chance, go see the stage productions of Hair, Jesus Christ Superstar, and Godspell. It will give you a better contextual understanding of the late 60s and early 70s.

In the interest of honesty, I have been there and done that. I made an ass of myself several times before I deeply learned a painful truth: It is very hard to get off a high horse - gracefully....
I is also impossible to love, as Christ loved us, as long as we are on that high horse.

The list of fruit(s) of the Spirit (Gal 5:22 (KJV!)) fails to mention anger, judgmentalism, and self-righteousness - which dominate several posts. I am convinced that LOUD defenders of God, the Bible, or a version, are the ones feeling threatened - and NOT Him!
And, three cheers for the clown image! Traditional clowns had all sorts of bad things, and dirty tricks, happen to them - but they always won in the end! Just like the Jesus I know. Like Paul "I know WHOM I have believed...."

@Anaris10you clearly know nothing of the one TRUE GOD! and your comment to me makes no sense. I said nothing about love...what dope do you smoke when trying to sound smart? I am not a prophet! but I KNOW what my KING JAMES BIBLE tells me about God and I am sure He didnt play any part in the movie! thats all I was saying. So take your craziness somewhere else....

@Godstrophyofgrace - I humbly submit that God, based on the KJV, did indeed play a role (no pun intended) in Godspell -
Isaiah 55:11 - So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall NOT return unto me void, but it SHALL ACCOMPLISH that which I please, and it SHALL PROSPER [in the thing] whereto I sent it.
Philippians 1:18 - What then? notwithstanding, EVERY WAY, whether in PRETENSE, or in TRUTH, CHRIST is preached; and I therein DO rejoice, yea, and WILL rejoice...

I remember doing this play in high school in 1976. God, could you imagine the problem it would cause now....It's a shame.....
INGRAMDR 1 year ago
@INGRAMDR I don't know about that. My high school did this back in the late 90's. And a kids' theater group near my home did this just last year. Luckily, not everyone freaks out about offending folk and just concentrates on preforming a fantastic musical.

God isn't in this movie at all. This is downright blasephmy!!! the man slaps the girls but in this scene is rediculous! My God is holy and righteous. Never would this be going on in his presence.
Godstrophyofgrace 1 year ago
@Godstrophyofgrace Oh,your god is righteous and you are a god fearing person?...Sad,that you must FEAR your god..so much for all that LOVE you like to talk about.and you even presume to speak for your god!..you are then,a prophet?...
Anaris10 1 year ago
@Godstrophyofgrace Do you think that every slap on every butt is sexual? Pro atheletes do it all the time. This movie brought a lot of people to God's love. By the way, God invented sex. I don't think he wants you or anyone else to be so prudish that you miss the point of beautiful movies like this one and Jesus Christ Superstar that reach the hearts of so many that were turned off by stuffy, holier than thou churches. That kind of church can do more harm than any innocent slap on a rump.

@EmpressOfWyoming58 im sorry that you are so blind to the reality of a HOLY GOD! did you ever read the bible? never once did Jesus even have a woman in his presence and he touches her!!! I cant believe that you are trying to compare this to men slapping each other ...this was a man on woman slap and yes i do think in this case it was sexual and i REALLY dont believe Jesus Christ Lord of Lords the only man who ever walked on this earth who NEVER committed one sin would act in this manner!

@Godstrophyofgrace Jesus Christ never had a woman in his presence? What about the woman of ill repute who washed his hair with her tears?
BTW, this isn't Jesus in the fountain, it's John the Baptist.

My eight year old daughter chose to dress up as Jesus from Godspell this Halloween. I couldn't be more proud, this movie and it's message makes me cry tears of joy everytime! In fact just this little segment made me cry. If only this was the real world what a beautiful world it would be indeed.

what i dont understand about all of Godspell, is why do they have John the Baptist and Judas as the same person
greenfarmer60 1 year ago
@greenfarmer60 Theatrically and ironically it makes sense. Don't forget that John the Baptist was beheaded on a whim by Herod. And we all know what Judas did. There are only 3 biblical characters in Godspell. Jesus, John the Baptist and Judas. The other characters just use their real names. They are just like you and I. Most of us will never just drop everything nor does God want us to. But if what we do to survive is a detriment to society, humanity and God then we should change up.

Ei MauMau, pelo visto você é brasileiro. Olha, grande filme. Cheguei a ver na sessão da tarde. Pelo que me lembro, o ator que faz João Batista também faz Judas. Confere. E quem é Jesus Cristo? Ele é bem parecido com o Harpo. Grande postagem.
Parabéns

@lilwayneluvrr - More to the point it's John The Baptist, as opposed to the disciple John.
