Synopsis: Monty Python's Life Of Brian (1979)
Synopis: Monty Python delivers a scathing, anarchic satire of both religion and Hollywood's depiction of all things biblical with their second--and tightest--full-length film. The setting is the Holy Land in 33 A.D., a time of poverty and chaos, with no shortage of messiahs, followers willing to believe in them, and exasperated Romans trying to impose some order. At the center of it all is Brian Cohen (Graham Chapman), a reluctant would-be messiah who rises to prominence as a result of a series of absurd and truly hilarious circumstances that parallel the life of Christ--providing ample opportunity for the entire ensemble (John Cleese, Eric Idle, Terry Gilliam, Terry Jones, Michael Palin, and Chapman) to shine in multiple roles as they blaspheme and mock everyone and everything from ex-lepers, Pontius Pilate, and the art of haggling to crazy prophets, Roman centurions, and crucifixion.Directed by Python Terry Jones, MONTY PYTHON'S LIFE OF BRIAN is an uproarious biblical parody that does to ancient Rome what THE HOLY GRAIL did to the Middle Ages. Rome is run by pathetic wimps, liberation fronts fight with each other over acronyms, and gladiators put on bloody children's matinees as the people search desperately for someone to lead them out of their life of misery and poverty. And Brian is that man. Sort of. Well, not really. Chapman excels as Brian, a simple, quiet man suddenly thrust in the role of leading the revolution--while constantly being yelled at by his shrew of a mother.Features: Monty Python's Life Of Brian (1979)

, June 4, 2002Reviewer: system_of_a_down_1357 - See all system_of_a_down_1357's reviewsMonty Python's "Life of Brian" is the funniest movie I have ever seen! I am a BIG fan of British comedy and an EXTREME fan of British actors. I fancy: Ian Hart (Professor Quirrel from Harry Potter), Alan Rickman (Snape from Harry Potter), John Cleese (Nearly Headless Nick from Harry Potter & Monty Python).
British comedies are the best there are.
They have the best sense of humor. They are better than sick American humor which is very perverted and disgusting. The Brits. are good old comedy.And they CAN'T BE BEAT!!!! ...

Pros: Hilarious, Satirical, Intellectual, Multi-layered Jokes
Cons: Dialouge hard to follow at times
The story of Brian Cohen, born in the year 0 in the manger next to that inhabited by Mary and Joseph. Watch as Brian struggles against his heritage, fights the opressive Romans, becomes an unwitting messiah, loses his shoe, and learns to look on the bright side of life. A great satire of biblical times, with the usual Monty Python hilarity. No matter how many times I watch this movie, I always laugh out loud. Pontias Pilate alone makes this worth watching. ...
