3:56 Just like to point out that Judas using his scarf to hang himself instead of the traditional rope is super morbid and kinda artsy (like he was wearing the guilt and weight of his crimes even before he committed them).
I’m probably over-analysing but still, I like that detail.
You're definitely overanalyzing bro, this modern Judas just didn't have a rope lmao chill
Reaching so far just to sound smart
@@RocketdogandSeptembr
i think its interesting the way they put it no need to be rude, the scarf thing is interesting cks he was carrying the weight of his crimes before he had committed them and God knew,
@@strwberryzz in every other show he uses a rope that was tied around his waist. Still carrying the weight
No you are one hundred percent right.
I still hate that they autotuned Tim. We want real emotions and when you are going through what Judas is going through, you wouldn't mind going out of tune anymore (if ever that was their reason), you are furious!
We deserve a non-autotuned version!
Same, first time I watched it I was like WTF why has he been autotuned, and it's so obvious. Really would love to watch it again with Tim's raw voice and emotion. The autotune really spoilt it for me
I loved it regardless. I do want a non auto tuned version, but I feel that the auto tune gives a better rock feel.
I never would have known if I didnt read these
@@XRPeakyBlindAR how tf did you not know bro
@@RocketdogandSeptembr I just didn't. Lol honestly 🤣 🤷♂️ maybe I'm goin deaf
-I still love the tragedy of "you'll be remembered forever for this"
-We can all agree he was in love with Jesus, no?
Yes.
I see it as being more likely that John (the disciple, not John the Baptist) was in love with Jesus.
Oh hey, you're here. Yeah, deffo in love.
@@Victoriasm31 I also think that John and Jesus were the most likely to have a relationship, but that doesn't mean that judas doesn't love the man that turned into a revolutionary martyr. It just wasn't requited.
HE DEFINITELY HAS A CRUSH ON JESUS, THANK YOU FOR POINTING IT OUT
Don't forget, this is the man who wrote the songs for Matilda.
And Groundhog Day the musical, and White Wine in the Sun, and a bunch of other amazing songs.
I love how expressive Tim Minchin's face is; when he's angry, his eyebrows arched and he looks down accentuating his eye shadow making him look menacing and dark but in this scene, his frown lines are so defined and he looks up a lot showing his bloodshot eyes - even in a big arena without a screen you'd be able to see his impeccable face acting.
that final "jesus" kills me every time
tim minchin is stunning, and his performance as one of my favorite stage characters just continues to prove that. the raw emotion he shows is devastating and perfect
You nailed that comment. This clip was absolutely riveting. He's an amazing actor.
He’s an amazing preformer
Wow, yea that was intense!
Ah my heart...his EYES. I've never seen so much raw emotion in the Judas role.
The first time that I saw this scene, I had to stop. It was such a gut punch and I was crying so hard that I couldn't breathe. I still can't get through it without crying. Judas' pain is so visceral and intense that it nauseates me. Tim blew this one out of the fucking ballpark.
Hi again lol. The way the stage turns red, how that harsh guitar riff starts replacing the calm ticking time sound, the images of a bloodied Jesus flashing in his mind, and Judas screaming in pain like his mind is actually tearing apart gave me serious goosebumps the first time I saw it
HE KILLED IT. I'm in tears as well. I only knew him for his comedy songs. I had no idea he played judas in this. Super impressed
The bit where he says "I've been used and you knew all the time" is just chilling, just the sheer horror of the moment and also the fact that he sings it out of tune makes it so emotionally jarring.
@@skylarmathison1481I loved the sheer horror in his face when he heard he’ll be forever remembered for his betrayal of Jesus.
The reprise of I don't know how to love him is just heart-wrenching. How can a person be filled with so much emotion?
Imagine how the real Judas felt. Betrayed his best friend, his saviour, and the son of his god.
I will never get over Minchin's performance in this version of JCS. He was amazing! His acting was so visceral and intense and the way his voice breaks and rasps at just the right moments. I loathe the autotune they put on him and he still slayed this even with that on. Judas in JCS if not played well can come off pretty hokey, insincere, and hard to sympathize with, but gods, Tim Minchin had none of those issues. I could watch his numbers endlessly and still be impressed.
Judas: Now I’m the villain in your history. I was too young and blind to see. I should have known the world was wide enough for Jesus and me
Now I’m the villain in your history I was too scared and blind to see the world was wide enough for Jesus and me
after watching jesus christ superstar for the first time it became clear to me that it was probably one of lin's inspirations for hamilton
Caiaphas and Anna's are Jefferson and Madison
@@alexonline2340 it is most definitely. Lin talks about it in one of his interviews. Also he was Jesus in his high schools JSC. You can look it up and find it!
@@alexonline2340 I believe it's been called out as an inspiration
Im not a christian type but this Play has always had an INSANE casting through the years. Seeing Tim in this surprises me, but it also doesnt surprise me.
Definitely don’t need to be Christian to enjoy JCS
@@blaise5044 It's Tim's favourite musical.
God this scene is SOOO well done in this production. Vocals, performance, the visuals??? Perfect
This is one of my favorite numbers from Jesus Christ Superstar. I told my husband that it is the closest thing I can describe to how a mental breakdown feels, especially when find yourself questioning God. Superb performance!
Critical elements of theater come into play to make this a scene stealing segment: the lighting bathing the set (the "hanging" tree) in an ominous sunset glow; the pulsating beat of the music in tune with the intensity building up to Judas' final act and above all the brilliant performance of Tim Minchin as Judas, caught in wretched despair over his betrayal of Christ.
Quick question, how did Tim hang himself without actually hanging himself?
@@girraduck He was most likely wearing a harness
The close-up where u see him drop there's a wire just visible enough holding his shoulders. It's also in the way he's swinging, leaning forward slightly which is indication he's being held from behind
But my biggest question is, when was the wire put on him? You can’t see it on him anywhere near the beginning of the video, and I doubt a wire can travel that far downstage. Unless he discreetly put it on while he was tying the “noose” around him… 🤔
@@emilylesniewski7347 No no the wire's on the tree, he just has a hook already on him that he attaches once he's there for that final sequence. Where the hook is, i'm pretty sure it's hidden by his hood
Oh geez, I just want to give Judas a hug in this version.
Caiaphas and Annas were fantastic in this. I don't think I've seen them performed better. Minchin breaks my heart in this scene. Wonderful casting.
dude his performance breaks my heart every single time! so fucking good!
👍
2.14 “He scares me so” Gets me every time.
Tim did such an amazing job as Judas, autotune or not
He did. Amazing performance. Some people have to be negative. They thrive on it.
Was at the O2 arena and saw the first night of this. Minchin and Forster were incredible
I hadn’t seen this before. I was stunned.
The real tragedy here is putting autotune on Tim Minchin.
JUDAS
My God! I saw him.
He looked three-quarters dead!
And he was so bad I had to turn my head.
You beat him so hard that he was bent and lame,
And I know who everybody's going to blame.
I don't believe he knows I acted for our good.
I'd save him all this suffering if I could.
Don't believe...our good...
And I'd save him if I could...
ANNAS
Cut the confessions, forget the excuses.
I don't understand why you're filled with remorse.
All that you've said has come true with a vengeance.
The mob turned against him, you backed the right horse.
CAIAPHAS
What you have done will be the saving of israel.
You'll be remembered forever for this.
And not only that, you've been paid for your efforts.
Pretty good wages for one little kiss.
JUDAS
Christ, I know you can't hear me,
But I only did what you wanted me too.
Christ, I'd sell out the nation,
For I have been saddled with the murder of you.
I have been spattered with innocent blood.
I shall be dragged through the slime and the mud.
I have been spattered with innocent blood.
I shall be dragged through the slime and the mud!
I don't know how to love him.
I don't know why he moves me.
He's a man. He's just a man.
He is not a king. He is just the same
As anyone I know.
He scares me so!
When he's cold and dead will he let me be?
Does he love me too? Does he care for me?
My mind is in darkness.
God, God I'm sick. I've been used,
And you knew all the time.
God, God I'll never ever know why you chose me for your crime
Your foul bloody crime
You have murdered me, murdered me
FINALLY. I love all the Judas' scenes
I don't know how they did the hanging scene, but it’s very impressive and horrifying!
Scarf was part of a harness Tim had under his costume, which took the weight of his body when he dropped. Very realistic, easy to do.
This is like the 81 film in its level of actually showing judas’ death in a visceral way.
Finally! I had to have this screen recorded way back when they first live-streamed it because I knew they wouldn’t post it for so long and only if people demanded it. But we finally got it and the emotion Tim brings to the role brings me back every time! ❤️🔥
Time Minchin is great in this role!
Insanely talented actor
I watched this in school I was literally in love with the movie and songs
Tim Minchin puts in an impressive performance. He makes me cry. The viewer cannot help but feel pity for the traitor Judas. I think it's good that Judas isn't portrayed in such a one-dimensional way.
i'm so happy they didn't autotune the intro to this piece if only they kept the same restraint (I don't actually mind autotune when used properly)
Great upload. Thank You.
Beautifully done
Great musical !
Such dedication
I'm waiting for this song!
YES ITS BACK BABY!!!!
I have seen many many performances of Jesus Christ Superstar including the original Australian Production with John English, Trevor White, Marci Hines, Stevie Right, John Paul Young, Reg Livermore, etc I have also preformed in a production of this show they are all so different and all as great as each other This production is fantastic as well love the set the theme so modern Tim Minchin and Ben Foster were both wonderful this show I think will go on forever and so it should baci x
So glad I saw the original without the autotune.
Lucky -_-
Yeah same and I saw it at the Motorpoint Arena in Sheffield on Sunday 21st October 2012
Lucky :/
I needed this clip, ngl
Beautiful
Tim minchin is the best!
I love how this shows how Judas although a traitor does have remorse for what he’s done.
Awesome ❤
👍👍👍
so cool
YES
2:55 this is my fav production of my fav musical ever but I'm just now noticing the flashes of christ's suffering on the screen!!!
Tim minchin I love you
Bravo!Je suis admirée..
I love this video!😀😃😄😁😆🤣
Finally
Why is there pitch correction? He doesn't need it.
If the Bible is true, Judas wasn't forgiven. Because what is there to forgive? He did nothing wrong. He did what Christ knew he would do. Judas has committed no sin and I truly believe that he was only following the path that God set before him. If the Bible is true, Judas is in Heaven. I whole-heartedly believe that.
His death was pretty wretched according to the Bible I always hoped his horrible death wiped out his betrayal.
A sinner brings the lamb to be sacrificed to be forgiven.
A priest slaughters the lamb for the sacrifice.
Which one is Judas?
But he did kill himself. Perhaps the mortal sin of despair.
Even though this fulfilled the prophecies, he betrayed Christ anyway. This is his sin.
Carl Anderson is hard to top, but this is spectacular.
Only Tim Minchin performed Judas' part realistically and with real emotions
I personally love Carl Anderson's portrayal in the film, though Tim's voice is so raw and desperate. I haven't watched the film in a while, I'll have to rewatch :)
Wow.
My favorite Judas of JCS
Madonna santissima.
I say it in Italian because no expression that I know in English can express how much this performance scarred me for life when I first heard it. And the chorus "Poor old Judas... So long Judas..." is haunting.
PORCO GIUDA (it's the case of saying it) THE AUTOTUNE I HATE IT SO MUCH--
Before I saw this I wondered why no auto tune was the first result, now I know
not my favorite judas but that caiaphas punch is UNMATCHED
YES
although he is my favourite Judas in fact (as well as my favourite almost everything), but this punch just feels so right!
@@annanovitskaya4432 i personally prefer carl anderson, but i'm interested, what do you specifically prefer tim for?
@@thesilverduke dunno, I just love him :) I always liked this version of JCSS and Judas performance better than any other I could find, but I didn't even know the guy's name. And one day a couple of years ago I found out he was also a musical comedian, which was surprising, he's kinda too hot for a comedian... I checked his works then and fell in love, that was it. So I am biased, but I think he is just one of the best people in the world, and talented af.
@@annanovitskaya4432 have you ever heard of Carl Anderson?
Tim Munchin is supreme, only I wish they didn't use any autotune :(
This is also but dark and interesting!😀😃😄😁
Technically, the number is called _Judas’ Death._ But still work.
Guessing they want to avoid spoilers
@@JadedJada Jesus kills Dumbledore
Funny thing is even in their ‘Best of Tim Minchin as Judas’ video they titled this segment ‘Judas’ Death’. Don’t know why they changed it here
@@saladchicken9542 CZcams would have a minor hissy fit if you put Death in the title.
Annas is underrated af
Hebrews 9:27
And just as it is appointed for man to die once, and after that comes judgment,
Tim Minchin's performance got haphazardly dragged through the SLIME AND THE MUuuuuuuuD, thanks to autotune
"I don't know how to love him". So that's one of the reasons why Christians take issue with this show...
Why though?
A man singing a repris of a love song about another man
@@PatRex11 I interpret it as platonic love, familial love, or the love God has for us and vice versa
@@sparrow8534 exactly!
@@PatRex11 If you really think that Judas sings about romantically loving Jesus, then you have misunderstood the entire premise 😅
Also pretty bold to speak on behalf of all christians...
Especially when, apparently for you, it is a matter of sexuality. I know many christian LGBTQA+ people and they for sure would not take note of Judas loving Jesus, nor would any other christian I know at least.
How many times do you hear priests or other christian believers speak up about loving Christ and God? Do you think they all want to be romantically involved with them aswell?
Do The song Christ and Pilate plus the 39 lashes
I've watched many of these clips and the full show twice on this channel in spite of it being out of sync. Is there a streaming version or hard copy that exists where the sound is in sync? Perhaps because it is in a stadium there is sound delay?
Lots of people are taking about the auto tune. I think that's why it looks out of sync.
@Marigrace (Gigi) Bishop This channel would put full shows up during lockdown fundraiser’s from Friday to Sunday. Then they would be removed. This was in the first year or so of Covid. Money would go to out of work people in the arts.
@@pearpenguinThe full show is up now!
THE AUTOTUNE IS SO ENRAGING HE’S TRYING TO BE ALL EMOTIONAL AND IT’S RUINING IT
The scarf appears to be a Palestinian design...take that to mean what you want. As far as the role of Judas, Minchin nails it. There is a certain anger and resentment in his performance which perhaps only disillusionment with organized religion can bring.
God I wish this wasn’t autotuned
0:30 when you think *YELLING* is _singing._
HOW DID THEY CREATE THE HANGING EFFECT??
It looked like he had a harness on to make it look like he was hanging
the autotune is ruining it man
The auto tune is awful
Does anyone know how was this made? looks so realistic
2 things 1st off HOW did he not inure himself? was there a harness or something? 2. CHILLLSSSS
God
september 8 2021 is my birthday
Can we get a video without the awful autotune...?
Casting an outspoken atheist like Tim as the "original atheist" (which is what I think Judaa was) is a stroke a brilliance. He goes through the emotions atheists who believe Christ existed felt about the crucifixion. Jesus was a mentally sick man, and Judas, instead of helping his friend when he needed it, helped sentence him to death. It's tragic, it's unfair, and it's all for nothing to us.
Tim was the most perfect casting I've ever seen, from the voice, to the attitude, to the look, to the motivations. Absolutely perfect.
I wonder how there did it
Obviously no hate to the performance. I’ve seen a ton of videos from this specific performance, and every time I watch it, I wonder why they use so much auto tune. Again, no hate, but can someone tell me why they use sooo much auto tune?
It’s pretty true. God knew Judas was being used by Ciaphas. And he did nothing to stop him
🤔 Yeah, that makes sense 👍
I still haven’t grasped how the pulled that off. It relay looked like he’s killed himself
I think there's a wire he's attaching to his chest, if you look closely the scarf isn't moving at the same speed as he is
If you slow the scene to .25 speed you can see that he spends a long time getting the scarf over the tree branch and then adjusting stuff close to his chest, attaching to a harness he is wearing. He then bends his knees to test that the harness is taking his weight. Before he drops he pulls himself up by his arms and bends his knees so the drop looks longer. After the drop you can clearly see a wire between him and the scarf.
God, I miss Carl Anderson!
1:01
how did they do that last scene? so curious
safety rope under the jacket
@@yapreispolnilsya oh makes so much sense thank you!
I wondered the same!
@@yapreispolnilsya thank you! Does he attach that to the tree??
Slow the speed to .25, watch and learn!
Okay. Hear me out.
Am I crazy or does this play out like a Supervillain origin.
A good man is somewhat deceived into doing something that will help both his friend and people, finds out out it did quite a bit of harm, and collapses into a guilt complex. Man claims he is powerless to fix the situation...
Is reassured by people he sees as the devil that he did well, leading to him to plead for forgiveness, all the while ashuing any responsibility for his own actions ("I only did what you wanted me to"), rocketing back and forth between genuine guilt and fear of reprisal over the course of a COUPLET (I have been spattered with innocent blood, I shall be dragged through the Slime and the mud)...
A last moment of Lucidity hits him, where he faces up to his own inadequacy and fear until finally...
He breaks. Shifting the blame onto the very person he wronged and taking a life out of spite. The only break from the formula is the life he took was his own.
Look at the lyrics to Superstar, it's like the Joker talking to Batman.
I'm not crazy here, right. This is where Judas moves into being a FULL bad guy, instead of a man in a bad position.
I think this really depends on the individual's perception of God's role in world events. I personally would agree as someone who believes God made the Earth and humanity with free will and autonomy.
When I was a believer and even still now as an athiest I've never seen Judas as a villain. His actions "were a part of God's plan", he "chose" to do it but felt wronged by a supposingly all loving God who would've let him go through all of that, to let those things happen to his SON by his hand. Jesus CHOSE Judas to be his disciple, and knew what would happen...Judas was so guilty he killed himself. It's just a sad story to me.
@@letsstartadialogueeh7692 I'm a believer too, mostly. I'm not sure I've ever seen Judas as a villain, as sadly we don't get a lot of information about the man in the Gospels themselves, and the info we get might be a tad biased considering who wrote them.
I was talking about the scene as it is presented here. It reads like a good man TURNING evil, and I'm wondering if that is just my interpretation or if it was mean that way by Webber and Rice.
That's a very interesting thought.
I have no biblical background, fortunately, so can't comment on that, but I like the way you've analysed it, and your conclusion seems plausible to me.
Without the betrayal and crucifixion, there would be no Christianity. Judas realizes he was tricked by god into being the person who set up the final part of the plan. And yet, Judas is condemned for what he did and knows he will be hated forever for doing it. The hatred is misplaced. The story is a ludicrous tale of original sin and a magical being who, by dying, could persuade itself to forgive mankind for the weaknesses he created them with. And not just any death, but a horrifying, slow (for most victims), agonizing death. What a masochist, and pathetic to think that an innocent person’s being tortured to death is what’s necessary for god’s “forgiveness.” Lots and lots of questions . . .
I think you meant ‘best’ :p
4:29 Wait... How you did that without dying?! I mean because after the trial scene, you sing the song "Superstar". I wonder how you did that?!
He's surrounded by a bunch of Angel's in "Superstar", he did die here.
@@AirKIng74 After he died his role was symbolized as the devil. Dancing and celebrating. Jesus' his death. Luckily there's a big plottwist ;) it's the fact that Jesus ROSE from the dead
@@annadeinum3480It amazes (and scares) me that people can be as disturbingly incorrect about things as you are about this.
@@annadeinum3480uh… no
Love the music, not so much the actors. This man was well chosen for Judas.
How did they do the hanging??
I want to know the same thing
I wonder the same thing. Because minutes later, after the trial scene, he sings the song "Superstar".
ITS A PRERECORDED SCREEN
Harness under his costume which he attaches to the 'scarf'.
How did he do his own death?
Do u mean in the film or how he did it on stage?
The stage, it looked real in the movie
@@samirsedky3324 Ugh ikr i still don't know how they did it in the movie. On the stage it was done very subtley but if you look closely after he's hanged, you can see some sort of wire attached to his back. So somehow as he was tying up his noose he had clipped himself off so that he would just dangle and make it look like a real hanging.
@@lillymsf5946 nice! Thanks
