WINTER "HIGH ART" MARATHON 2.0 #42
I fucking love musicals, bible stories despite not believing in them and 70s.
This was all three thrown into a blender and I really enjoyed myself throughout. Gonna see about that garbage Phantom adaptation soon to see what all the controversy is about.

Task #25 Watch a movie based on an Andrew Lloyd Webber musical.
This was way better than expected. With a story like this, it's hard to have any spoilers. However, I was pretty moved when after hearing Mary Magdalene's version of "I Don't Know How to Love Him", we heard Judas singing the same song and it took on a whole new meaning. I knew that song before I saw the film and I knew the title track as well. Other than that, I was surprised how solid the film was.
I wasn't interested in seeing the story done from Judas' point of view, however it was not as offensive as I would have imagined. The actor…
I just watched Jesus Christ Superstar again, this time on the big screen.
I have never understood why this film is not regarded as one of the greatest musicals of all time. Not only are the music by Andrew Lloyd Weber and the lyrics by Tim Rice brilliant, but the cinematography is awesome. Yes, I will say it. This is a very cinematic film, one which uses all the tricks from the box in the most beautiful way. It uses the wide screen format to the fullest, so it should preferably be seen on the big screen.
I think what puts people off is the contemporary hippie setting and the fact that they are putting up the musical in fallen…
i heard the song Everything's Alright on Kirsten Dunst's semi-new show about pyramid schemes in Florida and i could not stop listening to it so i told myself you know at some point i think i'm gonna have to watch Jesus Christ Superstar and then i realised it's been on prime all along so i watched it and it is literally the most dramatic thing i have ever seen in my whole life and i mean that as a huge compliment. but there's no way they all fit in that van....
One groovy way to commemorate Good Friday.
"I remember when this whole thing began; no talk of God then, we called you a man! And, believe me, my admiration for you hasn't died. But every word you say today gets twisted round some other way; and they'll hurt you if they think you've lied!"
A group of hippies drive out in a Bus to the middle of the desert, to put on their own rocking version of The Passion story, set to the music of Andrew Lloyd Webber. I actually first became familiar with this amazing Rock Opera when I first heard the Madison Scouts DCI corp perform it in 1999 . It had been many years since I had…

Um dos melhores musicais que já vi, o tema religioso cantado sem parecer um musical gospel, uma crítica política incrível onde nem todos captarão a profundidade que tem! Realmente incrível, assista uma vez para ouvir e apreciar as músicas, e outra para entender suas letras!
A spectacular misfire. Hippie energy permeates every inch of this adaptation of the rock opera musical. It makes for an interesting cultural artifact, and the Webber/Rice song material is fantastic. Anderson is a standout performance, impassioned and seduced and embittered, selling the power of Christ's charisma more than Neeley does as Christ. So man, what the heck went wrong!?
How did they have five bucks in the budget for costumes but enough in the pot to afford tanks and a fighter jet fly-by? Did Gibbs lose the technology to do normal cuts instead of endless fade transitions? Was Jewison totally blazed when he came up with the reenactment framing device, or was it just an emergency when they realized they…
