    FILM DESCRIPTION:
    Adapted from Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice's Broadway rock opera, "Jesus Christ Superstar" recounts the last days of Jesus Christ (Ted Neeley) from the perspective of Judas Iscariot (Carl Anderson), his betrayer. As Jesus' following increases, Judas begins to worry that Jesus is falling for his own hype, forgetting the principles of his teachings and growing too close to the prostitute Mary Magdalene (Yvonne Elliman). After Jesus has an outburst in a temple, Judas turns on him.

    Norman Jewison, the director, has talked about how when they were in the casting phase and were looking for the person to place Judas, they had auditioned 4 or 5 other men before Carl Anderson came along. He loved Carl's audition. He was worried though that if he cast Carl as Judas, it would be depicting white people as the Savior, and black people as the betrayers, since Ted Neely, who plays Jesus, is white. And Carl Anderson, who plays Judas, is black. So he was reluctant to cast Carl. But he ultimately came to the conclusion that he would not be able to live with himself if he did not cast Carl Anderson to play Judas because Carl gave the best audition out of everyone and was the best person to play Judas. So that it was he did. I am so glad he did, because Carl Anderson gave the best version of Judas in JCS history.

    I have always wished I'd seen this in the cinema. My Father did so in the early seventies. He said that when it came to this number, the atmosphere in the theatre was electric. Hairs on the back of your neck stuff - the spirit of Judas descending on a cross, suspended from a crane. Carl Anderson is magnificent here. Should have won the Oscar, in my opinion.

      John Gustafson - Simon Zealotes , Paul Davis - Peter and Mike d'Abo - King Herod . Still listening from time to time since it was released.

    There’s a lot of ways to interpret this song. I’m fascinated by the ending in this version. The visual of Jesus, beaten and tired from carrying the cross, Mary crying at his impending death, cut with Judas jamming out asking if he really meant to do all this. Was it worth it? Is this really part of the plan? No good answers but it’s a hell of a great representation of this song

      Gamer's get it. The various Deities and Pantheons of that age often tortured, murdered, and abused humans. The old testament is filled with the slaughter of those who displeased various deities... Christ put ALL his skill points in healing and resurrection. The very worst the Romans, The Sadducees, the Gods could toss at Christ was DEATH on a Cross... Welp, He took it like a real champ and popped right back up 3 days later.
      No problem. Gates of Hades Broken. The ULTIMATE LOVE overcoming all violence and evil. Good Move. CHRIST: FLAWLESS VICTORY.

    growing up, Jesus Christ Superstar was pretty heavily joked about. until recently, I wasn't really into musicals either, so I never really looked into it.
    I heard Ian Gillian sing Gethsemane and decided to look a bit into it; hearing Heaven on Their Minds, Gethsemane with Ted Neeley, and this, it's all truly something really special. Carl Anderson is such an insane talent. seeing him lowered from that chain with that insane bassline and funk backdrop to deliver this performance never fails to spark something in me.
    the camp, the glitz, the nerve to pull this off while singing about Jesus Christ from the perspective of Judas and showing images of his crucifixtion... not enough words to describe how amazing I find this.

      It's a timeless philosophical reflection on the character of Jesus and Christianity itself, as it began and how it developed throughout ages to become what it is today.
      The movie really is an incredible and unique piece of art.

    The scene begins with a shot of Jesus with his scourged back to the camera, then dissolves to a shot of him in his white garb, turning to the camera, and the instrumental overture is almost triumphant. I remember the first time I watched this movie as a kid (thanks, Mom) and interpreted the scene as Heaven getting ready for Christ to fulfill his destiny and come home...there's just one question left to be asked first.

    2:25 is such an amazing shot in my eyes. There’s so much imagery and representation. The sun is representing God and the hill top is death. Jesus is marching with the cross to God while facing certain death and God is there watching from afar. It’s kinda like a “call of light” or “light of life” or “follow the light” moment.

    Lets face it, the 1970's was when human coolness reached it's zenith. Such cool people created the best musicals ever. Jesus Christ Superstar, Hair, Tommy, Rocky Horror Picture Show, Grease, Godspell, and probably a few I'm forgetting.
    So glad my childhood and teen years took place in the 1970's. I loved all the great weed, the hippies, the easy sexuality, and the hopefulness of the youth who thought they could change the world into a peaceful loving place. They were wrong, but it was cool while it lasted.

      Over decades, I was lucky enough to see Neeley and Anderson preform together and the see Jesus Christ Superstar yeas later. One time with Ted Neeley and one time with Carl Anderson. As to everything else you mentioned, I have Hair, Tommy, Rocky Horror Picture Show, Grease, and Godspell either on musical disc or video.

    I like that Judas was apparently in his heaven with a harem of beautiful angels. He was part of God's plan after all and served well.

      Fitsnwellnwith thr Gosple of Judas where Jesus told Judas he isntivign him thr most important chores, to release his if "his clothing" to the plan could be completed. Obviously this was not written by Judas, and thr Gospel of Juadas was not found until long after this move was finished yet it fits. Judas was not the evil betrayer. He was given three chore to betray Jesus so he could be crucified. What woukd have happened if Jeus had escaped and lived a nice long life and married Mary Magdalene, had kids, and died line a regular person? Thr Last Temptation of Christ delved into that scenario.

    No apologies: this remains the best interpretation of Rice and Lloyd-Webber's material, in part because it was made at the time of the piece's creation and thus is firmly lodged aesthetically and thematically in the sensibilities of the time. This doesn't mean more recent 'concept' remounts are uninteresting, just more detached from the material; none seems as close as this, as subtle, as ideologically open ended and, in some cases, provocative [i.e.; the decision to shoot in Israel and Jordan utilizing local military hardware in the months before the Yom Kippur War] - and as sexually ambiguous [no contemporary self-conscious and self-interested gender bending, non-binary, draggy, rhetorical clap trap can come close to the lighthearted casual ease of the pansexuality in this version]. To call the scene 'cheesy' is to grossly misinterpret the time - this was the age of glam rock: chrome, lurex, mylar, fringe, sequins, beads, lycra, plunging v-necklines, backlighting and lens flare...the sheer glitter of this number - a riff on the stadium rock concerts of the time - beats the sullen '50 shades of khaki' paramiltarism of more recent versions in spades.
