The scene where you see Jesus' blood on Pilate's hands, was totally over the top!

This is the best scene of the best show ALW ever did. I really hate him and his thieving from everyone from Puccini to the folks song "schooldays", but this is great. It's powerful, shows the sincere questioning of Pilate(who represents all questioners through history) and the mob psychology(which also has not changed through history)
This is superb theater, though intensely blasphemous...
Judas was NOT Good...Even in this portrayal, He's not Good, but is shown as a catalyst(which he was.)

no it wasn't.. what the director did with the 2000 version was have it a little closer to the stageshow, reason for all the facial's of the actors, not like this one.. I find both a good watch

The guns are used because of what was going on while they were making the musical, the war. They are a sign of power and they are also making a statement about the war by using the guns.

I absolutely love how the movie chose to portray both Judas and Pilate as good men who were merely part of the bigger plot to destroy Jesus. As Jesus said, "Everything is fixed". Pilate wants to help, and Judas is only looking out for the best for the nation, but both of them end up helping to kill Christ. And a lot of people hate Judas and Pilate today for that. I love that portrayal. I find it really deep and I like to think of it that way.

The lady who portrayed Mary Magdalene is Yvonne Elliman. SHe became somewhat of a disco singer in the late seventies. She sang, "If I can't have you", "Love Me", etc. Really good voice |
