[Krrrimmi]

D bus has always been a symbol of d hippie culture. Since always travel on countrysides. B-)

[OHWILEYONE]

I remember seeing this when it was first released at an Air Force Base movie theater.

At the 39 lashes one young man stood and yelled "My God Stop It! You are killing him!"

After the movie ended the theater was dead quiet and everyone just sat for several minutes, before slowly leaving. Not ONE word was spoken as the auditorium emptied. The parking lot was eerily silent as the people left.

[tsunchoo]

@OHWILEYONE wow

[A7XBVBSKYRIM21]

Everything was so well done which people were chosen to wait at the door to the bus. With Judas looking back last with such a sad expression.

[Mamawaldi07]

1:31 - Hang on bro.

[bernadettestar]

Jesus sacrificed himself because Satan was holding everybody up for ransom because no one could keep the 10 commandments. He rose, released everyone from hell, people saw the dead walk, now we have to plead the blood of Jesus, pray and love when we see something wrong. Obviously it's not working, but every religion is expecting the return of the Messiah soon after the antichrist poses as Him 1st and deceives most of the world. When our bodies are changed, we will know it's the true Messiah.

[tsunchoo]

great touch.. this final scene - way it blurs the line.

[boomshanka]

@tsunchoo Norman Jewison has laways maintined that the whole point of both the opening scene and this clip was to reinforce the idea that the entire film was just a reenactment.

[lepacan]

Hace mucho tiempo de esta pelicula ,desde entonces la musica de este epilogo me gusto ,no quedan compositores como los de antes con esas bandas sonoras, yo tenia 15 años.

[conteforever]

Boys in the final scene of a miracle has happened ... I swear !!... The director wanted to shoot the cross of Jesus and fade to black by the end of the movie .... and then something happened that made​them petrify everyone .... but the director only had the strength to say "you see? you see ??... keeps turning!" appear ... saw a shepherd and his sheep who were walking near the cross ... that was not an idea ... but a real appearance

[kidu2day]

IT HAS BEEN AND WILL STAY WITH ME INTHE TIMES WHEN I AM DOWN ORIN DOUBT PRAISE THE LORD MERRY-Xmas 2011

[DragonAdored]

p.s was this done to connect the historical time with the 'present' time?

[EvolutionmantheGreat]

@DragonAdored Yeah, it was written so that it mingles our time with Jesus' time.

[DragonAdored]

Was this all just the first burning man ever? What is the relation between them being on the bus?

[DickieAnginson]

"John 19:41" gives me goosebumps. I love the treatment that Norman Jewison gave this haunting piece - having the ensemble board the bus, all except Ted Neeley. Makes you want to break down and cry when Yvonne Elliman and Carl Anderson glance back toward the hill. I love this film.

JCS is the best of the Webber-Rice collaborations. It has so much raw energy and feeling.

[PianoMan53100]

this is so beautiful

[MartyMaraschino1959]

I'm confused... I mean, why is Judas on the bus? I mean, he frikin hanged himself? Is there any explanation to this? Judas should be dead! I object!

[Rawego]

and so the fairy tale continues.... to this day :))

[MRCHARLIEHAWK]

Ted Neely non sale sul pullman con gli altri attori. Non si sa dove sia finito, ma Giuda guarda verso la croce che spicca sul Golgota in lontananza, quasi a volerci suggerire che "LUI" è rimasto lassù ( c'è chi giura che si vede appeso alla croce, anche se non è vero), come in una perfetta immedesimazione con il personaggio. Una tovata cinematografica sublime.Un finale indimenticabile.

[V6Y2j5]

Yes, I know . I have the same thoughts too. I didn't see Ted Neely boarding the Bus along with the others after the crucifiction scene. Probably he hitchhiked after the Movie set.

[wi11oz]

In the opening scenes when the actors are unloading the bus, the actor playing Jesus is not seen leaving the bus. He only appears within that circle of actors after the bus is unloaded. I think it is a deliberate action on the filmakers part ( "when two or more are gathered in my name, there I shall be..") and is very cool.

[secondeagle]

@wi11oz Actually, Ted is seen in three distinct spots, but you have to be eagle-eyed to spot them.

[secondeagle]

@secondeagle Correction: four.

[kissybandit]

@wi11oz

Actually, he is seen in the beginning. As they're lowering the cross to the ground, he's on the left in a green tye-dye shirt.

[sisyphusmustbe]

@wi11oz You are absolutely correct. I'm pretty sure this was the intention. It's very deliberate that Jesus does not get off the bus in the beginning or back on it after the crucifixion. Specific attention is called to it. Judas appears to be looking for him in the final shot.

[Gaus212]

@sisyphusmustbe No, Judas was not looking for him but it was the actor who played Judas was looking at the actor who played Jesus which they all left to die, while crying for his mommy…This movie has little in common with Christianity but cut from the same cloth as a HAIR Easy Rider and even the 1974 Clint Eastwood movie Thunderbolt and Lightfoot where the young character played by Jeff Bridges dies , in this movie the death of Jesus was not the point but killing Ted was... 

[chelobes]

@Gaus212 Killing "Ted" was the point? Okay. You have some really weird comprehension going on there.

[NeverDoubt1]

@chelobes I admit when I was a very young child I thought they'd left him behind, lol. Now I know better. ;)

[MdGriff65]

@wi11oz LOL......yeah, it's kind of hard to gather with just one

[avielMenter]

a large portion of the staff (judging by their names) appear to be jewish.

[Ypipable]

We owe someone faith.

[Allykins4801]

I've always been kinda confused about this scene. We know that Judas dies....yet he gets on the bus. But Jesus (who also died) doesn't get back on the bus... can someone explain this to me please?

[macro16]

@Allykins4801 Judas gets back on the bus because he is redeemed. Jesus winds up being just a man. There is no Resurrection . That's my opinion.

[HappyTrigger180]

Look at the dislikes. Satan did it

[zweilinks]

couldn't find it in the comments: why is that called john 19.41?

[bloodyrose1985]

John 19-14: And At the place where Jesus was crucified, there was a garden, and in the garden a new tomb, in which no one had ever been laid.

Beautiful piece. It's my fav in JCS. It always made me cry. Andrew Lloyd Webber, you are a musical genius !

[termosifon94]

@bloodyrose1985 tim rice wrote the words

[DeviledEgginator]

Fuck the 2000 version.

[mtjoy747]

I think Ted is the one getting in at 0:55 secs, glasses and hat etc, in my opinion.

[ShadowPoet174]

@mtjoy747 Nope, that's Simon.

[elerownat]

@mtjoy747 It's not, it's the guy that plays Simon Zealot. Love this film.

[ipodnano4334]

1:44 may be the saddest moment in any movie ever...just the single cross shown in the sunset with the sad musical piece slowly playing over it.

[xAllylawlz]

@ipodnano4334

But, the thing that is weird, is look at 1:44, the same time you put. Look at the bottom. You see a man walking across the hill below. Kinda creepy... and sad... Huh?

[am2boni]

A classic!!!

[kogcc]

i first saw this when i was 5. i thought they really killed the man playing Jesus which was confirmed by the fact that he doesn't get on the bus, and everyone seems to give Judas the cold shoulder.

[ShadowPoet174]

This melody is chilling and beautiful. I know it's the instrumental of "Gethsemane", but it's still got its own life of sorts. I can't believe even one person disliked this. Probably someone who finds JCS blasphemous. Guess what- I'm performing this in a church Palm Sunday, Holy Thursday AND Good Friday. Must be some blasphemy. >.<

[joakkko95]

EPIC ENDING!!!

[rockerhippi]

I'm not religious at all, but this was a beautiful movie

[mrsspanner14]

First piece of music that ever made me cry - I was five. Still moves me to tears now, and what a wonderful final scene.

[9007dodo]

maybe that jesus he get out from the cross

[9007dodo]

maybe that jesus he get out the cross

[dec2034]

The one person who didn't like this must be the son of perdition

[JackTribe13]

I can't spot the sheep and the shepherd, can someone point them out to me please? :)

[lake40]

@JackTribe13 if you have the contrast abit higher you would see both of them

[JackTribe13]

@lake40 Yeah thanks, I tried that and it worked ^^

[dec2034]

@JackTribe13 not easy to see on youtube. it starts at 1:42. totally improvised, and appered fom nowhere walking from left to right

[JackTribe13]

@dec2034 Okay thanks! I managed to see them when I clicked 'full screen'

[joakkko95]

i don't know why, but when i see carl anderson climbing on te bus and he looks at the cross, i imagine ted neeley is still there at the cross and he's like "hey guys, don't leave me here D:"

._.

[littlepeek]

I cryed when he died :'(

[WarOnErrorism91]

The thing I love is how because of the light and zoom, the shepherd appears to disappear in to the sun, as do the sheep. Makes me want to cry every time.

[maotalex]

I lIKE THIS VIDEO.... THANKS

[penntocali]

The first and last scenes of this movie were the epitome of absolute genius creativity. The scenes bracket a fabulous treatment of the original musical score.

To those that question why Ted doesn't get on the bus at the end: How could he, after depicting the personal sacrifice that Jesus made? How could he reflect on that??? It was easy for the rest - even Carl....

I think that was the whole point of the last scene.

[JGCooney]

Isn't this a slow "Gethsemene" ?

[msolec2000]

I never understood why Neeley doesn't catch the bus back. Yes, Jesus is dead, I get that... but so is Judas, and yet we see him catching the bus...

[mandiandlulu7]

@msolec2000 ya I really wanted to know why that was too! I was looking for the answer everywhere and i can't find it.

[insanemistosingsmore]

@msolec2000 Well....Judas is dead for good. Jesus needs to rise from the dead in a few days....it's a symbolism thing.

[BucsTex]

I'm Jewish, so I don't believe... but this still brings tears to my eyes.

[Maryndir]

I love this musical! Thank you so much for uploading it, it's amazing!

That last picture, the empty cross and the rising sun, that is such a strong picture. Just love it :D

[TenderTrap86]

This is a truly beautiful score.

[JimmyL84]

I love the ambiguity of this scene. Are they in character or out of character? Pilate, Mary and Judas certainly seem to be in character while Herod and Simon get on to the bus like they are buddies so obviously out of character. I would love to hear Norman Jewison give us his explanation of this scene.

[manert]

At 1:50 you see someone walking in the shadows of the mountains.. I like to believe that's Jesus ressurected.. and with that music playing.. it really gives me goosebumps.

[lake40]

the sheppard going across the screen wasnt ment to happen norman jewison and the crew like what they saw and kept the scene in

[carlystur]

Who is the guy @ 0:55 with the black shirt and hat and sunglasses and stuff? Looks similar to Ted to me. Course I could just be seeing things.

[lake40]

@carlystur that would be kurt who played annas

[carlystur]

@lake40 Oh, thanks. :)

[johnyrcu]

@carlystur the guy who played apostle Simon Zealotes in the hat and sunglasses,

[carlystur]

@johnyrcu Right. :) Thanks.

[puffdebi]

so painful... so did the 'actor' Jesus become the real Jesus in the film...is that why he doesn't get on the bus, or a symbol.... of th real Jesus that stays with the other actors? Wondered this since childhood.

[FreedomforHaiti]

I saw this film in theaters several times in the '70s. On at least one occasion, I remember hearing Yvonne Elliman's "I Don't Know How to Love Him" being replayed over the end credits. Yet on other occasions, I remember the credits being silent as they are here. It makes me wonder if there were slightly different versions of the movie (as sometimes happens).

[myorangeplanet]

The orchestration is just incredible... gets me every single time.

Oh, and how Yvonne and Carl (don't) interact while getting on the bus, their longing stares into the distance, and the abrupt way the bus interrupts Carl's moment... just kills me.

[lake40]

no how many times i watch this scene it still sends me chills all over since i seen this in 1977 yes this movie had a three year run (1974-77) realeased here in australia March 1974 seven months after its debut in america

[JGCooney]

What was the cause of Carl Anderson's death in the early 2000's or late 90's?

[dunespeak]

I love how it ends with no music. I mean, the movie's pretty much only music, yeah? and the fact that the ending was so serious, and this song so melancholic I think... Well, I don't think that there could be any kind of music that says as much as no music in this piece. That makes this more valuable in my opinion as a piece of art.

[galnhus56]

This song is so sorrowful and melancholy...and so beautiful.

[btlfn723]

Jesus is Lord.....plain....and simple

[Keodron]

@btlfn723 Jesus is Gay.

[sisyphusmustbe]

@btlfn723 Funny, but I don't necessarily think the show or the film is in favor of or against the church or the Christian faith. I certainly don't think it was evangelizing. It's a hell of a story with some of the most compelling characters in history. Yet, it portrays its characters as human rather than as moral stereotypes. Jesus can be irrational and doubtful while Judas can be level-headed and compassionate. And vice versa. It's a story about people, not a story about how "Jesus is Lord."

[cokmobot]

@sisyphusmustbe In fact, if I'm not mistaken, the guy who wrote this production was an atheist. The point was to do an adaptation of the Bible that was about exploring the human story of Christ separate from any need to proselytize. At the very least, as you say, it's an account of Christ's life that can appeal to open-minded skeptics as well as to staunch Christian believers. I think it does a good job making Christ's message accessible, and expressing some valuable truths.

[KellyPedro]

Why we do not see Ted climbing to the bus???

[RlCBNH]

@KellyPedro

It's an homage to the previous scene. (The crucifixion)

♫Ric♫

[GAlanJag]

@KellyPedro

I've been wondering that for 30 years

[gazoontight]

@KellyPedro Jesus lay in the tomb for three days.

[XXmrsXXshadowsXX]

@KellyPedro its supposed to be the characters going off and on the bus and since Jesus died he doesn't go back on

[Ypipable]

@KellyPedro It's impressing you to be part of the audience so you may identify with someone: the star of the movie.

[insanemistosingsmore]

now, you know the sunset shot with the cross? Did anyone notice the shepard and sheep going across it? It's not a blooper!

[RlCBNH]

@insanemistosingsmore

You absolutely correct.

When I repost the interview with Ted, you will hear his comments on this very scene.

♫Ric♫

[insanemistosingsmore]

@RlCBNH yeay...I'll be sure to watch it!!!

[10thbrother]

@insanemistosingsmore correct, not a blooper, but not scripted either :) Shepherd happened to come into the shot and the scene was kept.

[insanemistosingsmore]

@10thbrother Thank you for supporting me on that, and nice to know it wasn't scripted. I always thought it was elaborate symbolism.....I'm kinda big on that despite the lack of it in my user name.

[croninlaw]

All these years....I was 14 when the movie came out...and this was the first time I saw the shepherd and his flock....

[SeanaLPurvis]

@insanemistosingsmore The metaphor is very well timed, and I've seen it repeated in several movies, including Ben Hur. Although from the interview it wasn't planned, it's timing is OtherWorldly. And perfect. :)

[xwoman]

@insanemistosingsmore i always noticed the man who walks.

[xwoman]

lloro como un madre con esta escena

[XXmrsXXshadowsXX]

@insanemistosingsmore No it wasn't and it wasn't planned at all either.

[RlCBNH]

@JGCooney

Right click on the player screen.All the tools to check your flash player version,stream speed etc are there.

♫Ric♫

[JGCooney]

@RlCBNH What nationality is Yvonne Elliman (Mary) originally? Also How do you pronounce Kurt's last name (Annas)? Thanks.

[Sangrenegra9]

@JGCooney - Yvonne Elliman is American, but her mother had both Chinese and Japanese ancestry, which is why she has an Asiatic appearance.

[aaronaverill]

nice how they break the fourth wall, pack up the props, clear out the set and get on the bus.

[LyndaHudson]

@aaronaverill I also like how the main players (Judas,Pilate, Mary M) stop and look back before getting on the bus.

[readysteadydude]

Beautiful...

[phemyda94]

John 19:41

Now in the place where he was crucified there was a garden; and in the garden a new sepulcher, wherein was never man yet laid.

[jakestuf]

Thankyou for putting this great film on, I love the music its awesome!
