c jc 4 CANCIÓN THEN WE ARE DECIDED 

Interesting point, Annas is willing to let Jesus go until Caiphas says he threatens their priesthood...then he is all in on his death.

Some productions do - think it's only usually am unfortunately ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-dw5V_-OTK5w.html

FinleyMcB the other thing that I’ve always hated with JCSS is the way that it ends. To me it always gives the impression that Jesus’s death is the end of the story.

Pharisees. I agree, it helps us understand Caiaphas's character more. Plus, it's an awesome song.

probably neither caiaphas nor hannas were pharisees, but sadducees. pharisees were a inner-judaistic sect focussing on the 'ordinary people', which esp. was important in the provinces like galilee (pretty much like jesus - allegedly), while the sadducees were the 'ruling class' (of course under roman thumb) of religious leaders in jerusalem - and within the hebraic people they had a lot of power (and lots to loose - as would become obvious when the romans destroyed jerusalem incl. the temple). basically the sanhedrin (high court dominated by sadducees) had more or less the same power as king herod in the north - *but* in the capitol *and* holy city of jerusalem (the city where most of the devoted jews went to at least once per year for several days). unlike the pharisees (and allegedly jesus) the sadducees didn't believe in an afterlife, only accepted the torah as holy book (not the other scriptures of the old testament), often didn't believe in other supernatural entities like demons/satan and tried to focus on the duties in the temple while more or less ignoring the 'more dialogical debates' of the 'peasants in the synagogues'. almost all remaining strains of judaism *and* christianity today are based on the pharisee believes - condeming the elitist (and temple-focussed) sadducee ideas. or to go out on a limb: _jesus_ (if he ever existed in a way more or less fitting the gospel's narrative) _was a pharisee_ - maybe less strict in some practical regards, but still believing in the religious basics of the pharisees (believed in an afterlife as well as satan/demons, accepted old testament prophets like isaiah as holy books, visited synagogues ...). the very fact the gospels mention pharisees so often (compared to sadducees) as jesus' counterparts in debates is a sign _how close_ they were ideologically (most debates are about very minor details of religious opinions), whereas debating sadducees often wasn't worth the effort, since their believes just differed way too much (and jesus allegedly spent most of his time outside of jerusalem, where sadducees were quite rare). and debating religious questions was by no means seen as something negative in the pharisee tradition (and still isn't in some judaistic schools of thought today), but as an essential part of the religion itself.

I love d movie. It's ROCKS. & epic. ;-)

So this isn't in any of the remakes?

I think you did understand nothing at all. The great strength of this musical is Jesus and Judas as human beings instead of being god and evil.

I think you were wanting/expecting this to be the story of Jesus being the song of God and his deaths and resurrection, but that’s not the story the writer wanted to tell. It’s really supposed to be about his death and the fact that it ends with his death and doesn’t continue to his resurrection is supposed to be sad and surprising, just as it was in real life when it happened. That’s how I’ve always understood it.
