Everything's Alright | Jesus Christ Superstar (1973) | TUNE 

The whole movie was his movie!

Couldn’t agree more. ❤

True that role was made for Anderson.

Yes. Except they had to make him black. Didn't they? To infer that black is bad. And Jesus white. As in white is good. Neither are correct. Where as if he did exist. He would of been brown. It's quite despicable the way they predictively program the masses. This way. Amazing performance though.

No other Mary as well

It was a turning point in my life too. I still know the entire show off by heart.

Me too. Bought the CD and DVD. I know every word.

So was I I switched the mo a t of anyone rock opera 3:29

Same as myself. Likely your age now 60 .parents took me to the local U play

Yes, 60. That was a magical time for people our age. We were at that traditional turning point in a kid's life: 12. What great inspiration we had in the popular culture despite the or because of the turmoil of the times.

Carl Anderson completely stole the show in this musical. He was exceptional, way above the rest (which were very good, too)

Me too!

@@adrian5b I love Tim Minchin, but Anderson is completely magnificent

It was brought up in an another channel. It's like when two friends hit an impasse knowing they've reached a point where they don't see the same path anymore. Carl, Ted and Yvonne were perfect.

It's not just that, in this moment Jesus is telling Judas that he is destined to die as part of god's plan. You can see the profound understanding on Judas's face as Judas also understands his grim role in this divine play. His expression conveys sadness, adoration, and awe at the almighty all at once while Jesus is stoic and statuesque, just as we're used to seeing him in paintings after his death. All of this is meant to convey to the audience that both Jesus and Judas have vague understandings that their lives are not their own, but part of something bigger that will kill both of them for the greater good.

SUSAN INMAN: WOW! You are SO VERY RIGHT about that!! Thank YOU for pointing this TRUTH out! Oh, and JUDAS' look on his face when his hands and JESUS' separate is SO heartbreaking; as if he already knew he was going to betray JESUS and therefore, he was already regretting doing so, even BEFORE he had done it...

10000%

The Kingdom of God is already within you. Doubt it not.

I love the musical but i am as atheist as they come

JCSS was part of my journey out of religion tbh, Judas' commentary raised many questions as a kid and as an adult I can't help but notice that Jesus didn't really respond to Judas' criticism 😅

Maybe a few crazy costumes…and definitely of its time ;)

As Olivier said to Dustin Hoffman- "Try acting".

Eh bien moi je crois que la plus grande comédie musicale est "Bernadette de lourdes", en français et maintenant z' italien... La troupe est tellement brillante et le spectacle si beau (beaucoup plus intimiste et historique) doit partir pour Broadway.

@@anne-lisebouvier128 merci, if Bernadette of Lourdes is anything like the movie "Inglorious Bastards" than i will have to take a look.

It's beyond that

@AllMedia5 I would.

Gorgeous

Herod?

@@anthowell all amazing!

I dont understand Jesus' response. Its as if he's saying there's nothing to eliminate poverty so just be thankful youre not poor

@@boxelder9147 He's saying that they can't save all the poor, there will be poor always. They don't have the resources to save them all. Don't agonize over any amount of luxury you have, look at the good that you've got. You could donate your money and volunteer your time to help the homeless. But don't put yourself into more poverty just because poverty exists.

@@boxelder9147 It sounds like you understand his response quite well... maybe you just don't like it? Or maybe you aren't comfortable with the idea that Jesus would express that kind of sentiment? I'm not sure he was saying "be thankful you're not poor', because they *are* poor, and that's his point: they don't have the resources to 'save the poor', no one does because poverty is an eternal part of the balance and structure of everything, and when you've got the son of God hanging out with you for a short while, maybe your thoughts and movements should be focused on gratitude and mindfulness rather than pipe dreams and the cost of ointment. That's my take, at least!

Yeah I feel like Jesus' response to Judas is rather out of character

@@willkelly9726 Mary Magdalen is anointing Jesus in this scene since she won't be able to anoint his body at the tomb. Jesus is omniscient & would be annoyed that Judas - of all people - is begrudging Mary of this honor - being that Judas will be the person to betray Jesus & lead to his death

@@sgabig ok that makes some sense. I just always thought the line "surely you're not saying we have the resources to save the poor from there lot, there will be poor always pathetically struggling, look at the good things you've got " seemed out of character like Jesus was deflecting what Judas was saying. As if to say "Why are you complaining that Im not using the money to help the poor, be grateful for what you yourself have and shut up."

@@willkelly9726 That lyric is a close paraphrase of the Bible - I always interpreted that line to mean you will & should always serve the poor but that Jesus 's earthly ministry was short so Judas should focus on learning as much as he can with the time available. I didn't interpret the line to mean you should never help out the poor. I guess to be anachronistic Jesus was asking Judas to multitask

You make a great point. As much as I love the Arena Tour of this show (with Ben Forster, Mel C, Tim Minchin...) --- I noticed exactly what you said... Jesus became very annoyed with Judas during this song, and never showed the compassion that is seen here -- which is very touching and effective. Nevertheless, I think Ben and Mel C did incredible jobs in that production, compared to the numerous revivals of the original that followed.

Would you know if that's Ian Gillian singing Ted's part? or is that really Ted?

Yvonne's voice is also important here. Great song. Perhaps consider what her voice contrbutes to this dialectic and scene.

Yes, I get choked up too!

Agree. I grew up listening to this soundtrack and always listen to it fully a few times a year but, weirdly, have never seen the movie itself. Watching this scene between the actors adds a whole new layer and meaning to what's being sung. When Jesus says, "... Think while you still have me. Move while you still see me. You'll be lost and you'll be sorry when I'm gone ..." the look on Judas' face reveals a dawning realization that Jesus knows something he doesn't -- that this is all coming to an end very soon.

Same. Went to a catholic school from kindergarten thru 8th grade. Had nuns for teachers, religion for 1st period everyday. And even then to me it was all bullshit from a very young age. Saw this in 7th grade(1993). And nothing came close as this to getting the message of Jesus across. I'm agnostic, but if any of Jesus' teachings are rooted in truth, this absolutely nailed it.

Both wonderful. Carl not receiving an award for this performance is only compensated for by the fact so many viewers/listeners know just how good he was.

♥️

Thank you so much for doing that...for offering a little kind humanity when people were desperately afraid.

Thank you for your humanity - I too was an ICU nurse, sang, and reassured them - " you are doing this once, I do this every day, I won't let anything happen to you. "

The concept album, Broadway, and the movie, along with Barry Dennen ⭐️

Hope you’re ok brother

Yeah, when I heard there will always be poor, pathetically struggling, it caused me to rethink God and existence. It seems like some fall into wealth, live long enough, then inherit it while others are born into homes that rent from slum 'lords'. I do believe Jesus(Yeshua) punched through this dimension to tell us the GOOD news that we truly are spiritual immortal beings trapped in this material spiderweb. Poor, wealthy, if you believe you are more than the flesh, then you truly are NOT poor.

I don’t know where you are but your not forgotten x

Pistons only have power when they are going down. When you are in the gutter, the stars can be bright. Hitch your wagon to one of them! The tree of Life was in the Garden of Eden before and after Eve came along. God ONLY forbid Adam from eating the fruit of the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil. Not the Tree of Life. You are already eternal, my good spirit. The overwhelming pulse from the Creator God is Love. Love. You are loved. You are loved. You will never end as Adam obviously sampled all the trees he was allowed. The Roman Ceasar suppressed this knowledge. This is what insecure tyrants do throughout history. Look up the Nag Hamadi Library online, it will open your heart and if you have ears, listen...

God bless you ❤️

God yes, yes, yes!!!!!!!!!!!!

Gets me every time.

It’s like the last time they are brothers. As soon as they release, their fates are sealed

His expression in that moment is mind blowing.

Totally agree with you brother

Yes it's incredible. I guess it's like a fine wine

It is very moving isn’t it , you can feel the pain and conflict in Judas as he loves the man but can’t go along with his thinking any longer ,watching everyone raise their arms while he is totally excluded and separated is painful to watch . I’m not a Christian or believer but expression of the story and quality of the singing and acting that evokes so much pathos and tragedy touches me deeply and I’m sure so many others . It’s a genius piece of art

How on earth, with all due respect, can you see this (knowing fully well it actually happened, and not be a Christian??? 😢

I sing this every night to my 8 month old.

That: "WOMAN, YOUR FINE OINTMENT" part would wake her up I can imagine :D

I wanted to sing this to my baby if I were blessed by children

I have sung this to my daughter every night. She is nearly 10.

Me too, she's 15 now!!!

One of the most dramatic film scenes ever. The look between Jesus and Judas at the moment of their break.

I think it's beyond Christ *knowing* - it's Judas' *_fate_* to play the role he must. I feel, as others do, that this was Christ _compelling_ Judas to do what he *must,* and what _only_ he could do. Far from being a betrayer (as he is often portrayed), I see Judas as a *fulfiller* of the prophesies...

I'm an ateist,but became nearly a believer when I saw this movie . If the Bible is the thrught, this movie is perfect!

I was reading RU-vid comments under a song from Aretha Franklin’s early 70s gospel album “Amazing Grace,” and someone who identified themselves as a Muslim said they loved the album and played it all the time.

@@kittykatz4001 it's a great album. The movie soundtrack only, there's a bunch of others. The movie is pretty neat too.

Surely we're allowed to appreciate art from other cultures. We don't have to be Hindu to appreciate George Harrison's "My Sweet Lord."

@@erinoriordan9808 George Harrison worshipped death

Still is

why you lost faith?

Jesus is waiting for you to come home to his open arms

Then get on board Jesus knows u and is waiting for you

​@@catherinekammerer7094no thanks, I feel no need to indulge in religious delusions.

yep, one does not need a divine aspect to feel transcendence

That's a really lovely gift. So glad you could bond with them over this.

Your grandkids have good taste

I absolutely hear this through the eyes of a lover. She’s a calming balm trying to relieve in the midst of pressure from life (represented by Judas)

Brilliant summary! ❤

Judas lives on in infamy and his name means "deceit". He gave up paradise for eternal fire.

More of they have different approaches to the same problem. It's like two friends having differences, you respect the other person, but you think he's making the wrong moves. Both are trying to get them to see.

Fiddler on the Roof was also fabulous. Norm Jewison was a very smart man.❤

Andrew Lloyd Webber's music is inspired. Mary's melody - with lovely chords, mostly major chords - is sweet and in a downward, descending, easing motion. Then Judas's, and Jesus's melodic lines are ascending and aggressive, challenging, the chords in the music, bold and solid - suddenly attacking in the natural minor of the tonic. Feminine, Masculine. Major, Minor. Amazing contrast.

We must be from the streets yikes

Neither Judas, or Mary..

Talent, training and belief in the music. All great singers know these are the foundations that no auto-tune program can recreate.

I completely agree: this cast was never bettered. Carl Anderson's portrayal of Judas is especially memorable.

From 2:43 to the end of the song he doesn’t even blink. So profound ❤

Been a while since I watched this scene and only now appreciating how well directed it is. That spinning pan around Jesus and Mary that lands on Judas glaring in the background. Fantastic!
