Plot Summary
A modern-day version of the gospels, opening with John the Baptist calling a disparate group of young New Yorkers from their workaday lives to follow and learn from Jesus. They form a roving acting troupe that enacts the parables through song and dance, comedy, and mime. Jesus' ministry ends with a last supper, his Crucifixion in a junkyard, and, the following morning, his body being carried aloft by his apostles back into the world of the living on the streets of New York.
Customer Reviews
Wonderfully Funny and Amazing
Godspell has to be by far my favorite movie ever. This is goofy, silly, funny and at the end, just a bit sad and dramatic. Godspell is a beautiful story of community and friendship, not meant to be taken religiously if you don't want to. The quality of the video is great, everything can be seen clearly. It's a very happy movie, with music that just makes you want to get up and dance!
Look deeper than the clown makeup
This movie is one of my top 2 movies of all time. At first, people may get thrown off by the clown make-up, the hippy-ness & silliness of it all- but look deeper and Victor Garber does an awesome job of portraying Jesus as a tender, loving, but also a justice-seeking Savior, Jesus Christ. The skits they do again, are silly tone, but the message is still there and the songs? Awesome! My favorite songs are: "All Good Gifts", "Where Are You Going?" & "On The Willows." Thanks I-Tunes for finally releasing this movie!
Wow
This is just incredible.
