I have a thing for evil basses.)<BR/><BR/>But agreed, in this movie Judas is the man. Hottest black singer ever. And nobody can sing this role like him... nobody. I've become a fangirl of him after the movie... and I even wrote an angsty fanfic about him. Is it bad to slash biblical persons? *embarassed*Rowena Shepardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07680273211678135320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-79723819638700739.post-40538749291409612222008-09-14T18:58:00.000-07:002008-09-14T18:58:00.000-07:00Wonderful article, Jesus Christ Superstar is my fa...Wonderful article, Jesus Christ Superstar is my favorite film ever, since I was 6. <BR/><BR/>By the way, I'm pretty sure that the guy who really sings "Have your men proved at all worthwhile?" is Peter (Philip Toubus, aka Paul Thomas), not the guy in the pic you posted. I think the same was done with the man who sings in that scene "Do you plan to put up a fight?" (the second one), I'm sure it's Bob Bingham (Caiaphas) who sings that line. Moreover, that last guy is also the soldier in "Peter's Denial", what a cast!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09290571507091948268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-79723819638700739.post-41019956725859812152008-07-19T23:04:00.000-07:002008-07-19T23:04:00.000-07:00Filmi Girl - Because we share a brain.

Anyway, it's such great music, and I love how they used screaming rock singers, too!<BR/><BR/>Bollyviewer - This is definitely an excellent intro to Jesus. I kid you not, they use it in some Sunday schools. I am trying - TRYING - not to get Siddartha. I didn't care for the book, and obviously I don't care for cheesy hippie Orientalism, but... gosh, a semi-Buddhist movie with Shashi?!

If you have read the book and liked it, you wont like the movie inspite of Shashi. There is tons of gratuitous Orientalism and bad acting!
