Monty Python's Life of Brian was considered an extremely controversial film when it first came out. Many people criticised it for being a blasphemous joke at the expense of Jesus Christ. The Mony Python crew retaliated that it was not about the life of Jesus, but the life of Brian. Any similarities were just coincidence. A pretty good ...

Those Monty Python lot were a funny lot. A type of comedy that can only be described as random meant that they built up a very big following in a short space of time. After the release of Monty Python and the Holy Grail they certainly had a good fan base. The film itself was made before I was born in an era soon after rationing was in ...

Monty Python's life of Brian is a very old film, directed by Terry Jones in 1979 Synopsis Brian is born just a few stables away from the Baby Jesus. He grows up hating the Romans, and ends up joining a ''Terrorist faction'' (phrase loosely used). He evades capture by a roman squadron, and after some misadventures ends up ...

I literally grew up with this film as my dad is a huge Monty Python fan. I could quote scenes from this film long before I really knew what they meant! I first saw this film when I was about 6 years old and loved all the physical gags, like the tapping feet of the suicide squad. Gradually I learnt to appreciate the more "adult" humour ...

The Monty Python team were pioneers of British Comedy, and took the country by storm in the 1960s and 1970s. In 1979, they released this feature film, The Life of Brian, their third film, with hilarious and shocking consequences. The Plot In Judea 33 AD, a series of bizarre occurrences and a combination of mad events lead ...

Life of Brian is generally held to be Monty Python's finest hour - at least amongst their film offerings. Released after Holy Grail, it's clear that the Python team had learned a thing or two about the film world and adapted their style accordingly. Like some of the prophets shown in the film, though, I stand alone in the wilderness, ...

The first time I ever saw Monty Python's Life of Brian (1979) was when Channel 4 showed it as part of their banned season when I was at school (it would have been late 80s/early 90s). I sneaked a video tape in to the machine to record it as coming from a very Christian family I didn't want to upset anyone but I really wanted to see what all the ...

Well well well where can I possibly start? Another of "Monty Python's" greatest achievements! This comedy is set back in the day of well no other than Jesus but the story is not actually about Jesus but very similar. Unlike Jesus, Brian is a rather insignificant, illiterate and naive young man who is born to a ...

Over the years there have been many controversial movies that have been considered out of the ordinary for lots of different reasons. “The Exorcist (1973)” was banned for many years due to its psychological impact on teenage girls whilst “Evil Dead (1981)” fell foul of the censors due to a rape scene involving a tree root. Never banned, at least ...

British comedy is, of course, the best in the world. And Monty Python's Flying Circus, the surreal brainchild of a bunch of Oxbridge graduates, is frequently hailed as its finest hour. And then, in more than one interview, John Cleese says that Life of Brian is the thing he wants to be remembered for when he dies. So, it follows that this film ...

Its nice to see this film being released on DVD to give the next generation a chance to watch one of the funniest films made, along with the rest of the monty python films this is a classic. As akways with monty python its a gag a minute film, it cracks me up every time i watch it. I would definetely recommend it to people who enjoy ...

On its cinematic release in 1979, the most famous film by the British comedy team known collectively as Monty Python received a great deal of critical appreciation, and a lot of undeserved criticism by religious figures. PLOT : JUDEA, AD 33 In a similar ...

~ Introduction ~ After reading a recent opinion here on dooyoo, about Monty Python’s Holy Grail, I rummaged through my videos to see exactly what I still had remaining on VHS, and there it was, my favourite of the Monty Python films – “The Life of Brian”. I cannot believe that this film was released 23 ...

Perhaps you love Monty Python and would buy anything they produced ,perhaps you are new to the works of Python and wonder what all the fuss is about. This film is a must if you fall into either category. The Life of Brian is arguably their most successful film venture in that no blind devotion to the comedy group is required to find this film both ...

Just before I review this film I would like to warn anyone reading this that it is a spoiler and in it dose give some of the plot away, but that aside this is my option of one of the worlds greatest films. The Life of Brian, the name itself tells you a lot about the film; The film is about a man called Brian, The film follows the ...

Out the couple of hilarious Monty Python films, this one is the best, compared with Quest for the Holy Grail, that is quite an acievement as that is brilliant.. It is an improvement on the Holy Grail and not as half hearted as The Meaning of Life, with some really funny moments and a strong storyline. This film is a lot like Titanic, in ...

Absolutely the business - Advantages: new laugh each viewing, evenly offensive - Disadvantages: Not on DVD

And so the lord cameth, picked up his pre-ordered copy, and returned to enjoy merriment and mirth in his own kingdom! What a cracking movie, and if you are offended by the religious aspects of this movie, why are you reading my op, go away, go on! How long has it been since we adorned the false beards and bought bags of gravel ...

When this film first came out churches around the world tried to have it banned. Fortunately for us they failed because if they had not we would all have been denied this amazingly witty and funny film. It stars the whole Monty Python gang doing what they do best, which is making the rest of laugh. On that level this film has succeeded, but it ...
