"Great Performances" Jesus Christ Superstar (2000)

The musical DVD is based on the life story of Jesus. Weber's innovative connection between serious religious stories and avant-garde rock music is a very bold and thoughtful work. If Joseph and the magical dress is an illustration of the biblical story, then on the surface, the superstar is simply a subversion and reaction to tradition: Jesus, the son of God, no longer carries the aura of sages all the time, he is weak and wavering, and more human nature takes the place of divinity. Judas sellers are not out of greed, but out of God's fate. Judas, dressed in white robes, led an angel choir to ask Jesus several philosophical questions, and Jesus did not know the answer. It is not difficult for careful readers to see the similarities between this plot arrangement and the film "the Last temptation of Jesus Christ". Like the latter, as soon as it was released, it was strongly protested by orthodox religious figures, which increased its popularity, with its episodes "I don\'t know how to love Him" and "Superstar" hovering on the record charts for a long time.
