'Jesus Christ Superstar,' 'Godspell' and the Year of Biblical Musicals
From School of Rock to Calamity Jane, a lot of great movie musicals are having big anniversaries this year. It's a great time to fondly look back at films that influenced you, the bygone era when they were released, and discuss the mark they made on the culture of that era and beyond it.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT RELATED: The True Story Behind 'Jesus Revolution' Two Musicals Both Based on One Bible Story When looking at these two films in extremely broad strokes, it's easy to see how very alike they are, down to the simplest of core concepts: A contemporary re-telling of the life and times of Jesus Christ, up to his execution, well, contemporary for the time anyway. Both primarily taking different parts of the same book: The Bible.
Even when looking at the premise for both films, there's a shift in story perspective between Godspell and Jesus Christ Superstar, down to the books within the Bible that they adapt. Jesus Christ Superstar follows the story of The Passion, the last supper, Judas' betrayal, ending on the crucifixion. Godspell on the other hand mainly adapts the parables from the Gospel of Matthew, lyrics being pulled from traditional hymns, but also ending on the crucifixion.
