@RachelLittle2010 Yes. Jesus wants things to be peaceful. Unfortunately for him, Simon and a lot of his other followers don't agree - they want him as the messiah, to lead them against their oppressors. Thus Jesus' 'be calm' gestures, and Judas' 'told you so' expression. (As Judas warned Jesus this (among other things) was going to happen in Heaven On Their Minds.)
Frankly, I think this version of "Jesus Christ Superstar" did a much better job of capturing the spirit of what many people were expecting and hoping for from Jesus...and why they turned away from him (he didn't fit their image of what he should be). It highlights the way in which even today, many Christians (rather arrogantly) twist the Scripture -- usually unconsciously, but not always -- to fit their own egos and desires instead of twisting their own egos and desires to fit the Scriptures.
@OreadNYC I agree. This play really captures the horrific tyranny of the Empire, and shows it explicitly, instead of implicitly. The 1973 movie just has people saying 'o Rome is terrible. woe are we.' This play shows them to be a pseudofascist group of oppressors. Its not as easy to dismiss Simon in this play as a crazy person, as it was to dismiss the disapperating dancers in 1973.
I love how people are upset they filmed another version of this. Its a play people. New productions of it is kind of the point. The fact they made a film version of one of them is not an insult to the original. If you hate this version, why bother search it, watch it, and post your hate in the first place?
Wow...I don't usually say this but...that was pretty gay. I've only seen scattered clips from this. I love that Jesus is just kind of silently whining but not actually doing anything. "No guys...c'mon...oh...don't do that..."
Also, that Simon (Sugar Ray perhaps?) has the craziest crazy eyes I've ever seen.
@MrHenryFogg well... Jesus did preach to the Sinners instead of the holy... they were the ones that were glad to get his forgiveness, and one of his closest followers (Mary Magdalene) was a prostitute before she met him
However, his military strategy is sorely lacking... 50,000 singing and dancing disciples against the entire Roman army? The last time someone tried that... who was it, Spartacus? The Romans lined the road from Vesuvius to Rome with the Crucifix's of every single captured rebel...
Yeah... Sorry Simon, but you were never intended to lead a war against the Romans.
@1066anglophile Honestly I would watch what you say... Cuz I got enogh money to fly over to the US and... well, you know the rest... Plus, Hippies are much better than some wannabes who are trying to walk in Ted Neeley and Carl Anderson's footsteps. But that guy playing Simon is a damed good singer.
The version captures the gospel sound of the piece far better than the 1973 production. That version had everyone moving around so much that they couldn't stay in sync, and the mixing didn't balance the voices very well.
ok...he basically already has the outfit...now just dye his hair black, shave half of it and put on some eyeliner and BAM!!! St. Jimmy in biblical times..
I love how the guns symbolize the violence and anger Jesus was trying to get rid of but that his followers are trying to push on him =D I love symbolism
I think the only thing that I would do differently in this particular scene is keep more distance between Judas and the crowd. I feel like, especially after Heaven on Their Minds, he wouldn't want to be seen so close to Jesus. Fear is a huge part of what drives Judas in the show. But everything else is so amazingly well done.
@Iamnotthatkindoforc Yes I agree they are invaluable to this intrepratation,he takes on an almost Satan like aspect tempting him to power.While preferring the original which was more of a misguided Simon and flock, this was probably closer to the truth as all of them were trying to get Jesus to fight as that is what they expected from the Messiah.Unlike others I enjoy seeing others vision to a play or a role.If I prefer the original it is always there. It isn't original art if you just copy it.
he sang for himself not for the jesus. he sang like he is a singer on the stage. no eyes contact to the jesus. i like the original one much more and more... oh the cast did not dance like the 1973 version. they danced so full of power neverstop. i like the original one..
doesn't anyone find it weird that simon has a cross tattoo when they didn't know that jesus would die on the cross yet and that the cross was like, a humiliation of sorts// it would be like wearing a prison on your shoulder!! now i understand, since He already died for us. but this was BEFORE He died.
@CheskaPalabrica That wasn't there purposely. Tony Vincent actually has that tattoo and they couldn't really cover it up. So they just left it, he still has it today (I saw it when I met him.)
@TheWildwest666 He's just expressing his dismay at Simon's ignorance - this refers back to the 'Heaven on their Minds' song he made at the beginning - both he and Jesus know this isn't going to end well! NJ.
Tony is a very good singer, but I'm really not a fan of this kind of vocal technique. It's far too polished IMO. I do like how this version illustrates the fact that Simon and Co. miss the point completely.
I saw Tony Vincent as Judas on Broadway and he was PHENOMENAL. He was much better but that original Judas and made the show amazing. I'm sad he wasn't Judas in the movie. :(
Actually it makes sense since the environment of the song is that Jesus needs to lead everyone is a rebellion against Rome, and since this is an updated version, guns seem like a right response. Plus, it's not just the producer, Andrew Llyod Webber wanted it like that.
Personly I prefer Tony Vincent as Judas. Reason being he has such a perfect vocal range for the role. The only Judas Ive heard who can hit all the notes perfectly. I'm not saying I dont like him as Simon though, caus I do!
wow, as a long time fan of the '73 version, I must say i really enjoy this 2000 version, but not in the same way many on here too. The actors have good singing voices, but the acting is so unbelievably stinky and over-the-top that this version is sure to become a cult classic!
