Leitmotifs drive me insane, like I hear *repeated melody that has an association with a person, idea, or situation* and I go *tears up the fucking rug like a dog*

worst part of being a jesus christ superstar fan is that when you mention its your favourite musical people who aren't familiar will be like 'oh haha are you a jesus fan... is jesus your blorbo' and its like no!! absolutely not!! my blorbo is very obviously Judas Iscariot ):<

Christ! I know you can’t hear me, but I only did what you wanted me to. Christ! I’d sell out the nation, for I have been saddled with the murder of you.

JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR dir. Norman Jewison, 1973

the only stories that ever pulled off the “chosen one girl rebelling against the government caught in a love triangle between a golden-hearted boy and a broody loner” trope were the hunger games and jesus christ superstar

Lin-Manuel Miranda played Pontius Pilate in Jesus Christ Superstar. He rapped during the Trial scene, including the bit where Pilate counts how many times Jesus was whipped.

this is just such a beautifully tragic example of a character both understanding what kind of story he is in and yet in denial, raging against the constraints of the story he is in. he has one role to play, one decision that will alter the course of the narrative and until then he is like a ghost, unheard and unheeded, pleading uselessly with both the hero and the story itself: i love you why couldn’t you have stayed a man i love you why couldn’t you have been a carpenter instead i love you why did you have to embrace this role of messiah i love you why do you have to die (and in doing so lead me to play my role in your death). anyway same energy as this christa wolf excerpt:

I am constantly thinking about the Kabuki-inspired Japanese production of Jesus Christ Superstar:

These are pretty much the only videos I can find, despite it being obvious that the whole show was professionally recorded. Is there anywhere to watch this? I will pay cold, hard American dollars to see this entire thing. It looks incredible.

jesus christ superstar is about leftist infighting and hating your best friend and loving people wrong and the myopia of fame and inevitability and understanding that you were the cog that might not have turned and how love will not save the world because it is not enough and how people are fickle and how leaders are cowards and how the buck has to stop somewhere and how love doesn't stop just because it's useless or bad and saying 'i told you so' and how good will can never trump The Plan and how together we are so very strong and how God is not going to save us and how the story is incomplete because we have to finish it ourselves

#jcs #jesus christ superstar #actually have to bang my head into a wall every time i think about it #'it's so rich!' i screech from the rafters about an alw musical of all things #shitty text post

i love Superstar so much btw its just like

Judas: so like are you actually the son of god for real? why'd you come to earth in ancient Judea. of you'd visited in the present day instead you could have used social media to spread your message. makes you think, huh?

Jesus, bleeding and bleeding and dying: mgmgmhgh
