Probably the most accurate representation ever of that time period. A genius film made by brilliant people. (all highly educated people) John Marwood Cleese I salute you!

Some quotes / scene referrals to elaborate this statement.
- O.K. but besides... ...What did the romans ever do for us?
- Oh, I thought we were the popular front?
- ROMANES EUT DOMUS ?!?... ...Ah, huh, third person plural, uh, present indicative.
- ...Which they're fathers fathers left there just the night before...
- Suicide squad attack Uuurrgghhh... So that will teach them !!!
- No One is to stone anyone, until I blow this whistle... Even if they do say Jehovah
- How about those Jennifer bushes over there?
- Yes, we're all individuals... ...Exactly ! Tell us more. No that's precisely the point.
- Crucifiction? Yes. Good... Out of the door line on the left one cross each.
- Release Brian !!! Oh yeah that's a good one. Release Brian !!!


This film should be scolar education material around the world and maybe people might learn something. Highly unlikely that would work, but that's precisely the problem.

The only thing that I disliked in the movie was the spaceship scene. But since I have seen it a 100+ times in my life it might be considered a minor detail.

For people who don't know Monty Pythons "spirit" search for:<br /> - Worlds best oneliner<br /> - graham chapman's memorial service<br /> <br /> In that time period nobody dared to fund this movie after "Jesus Christ Superstar (1973)" check out the Life Of Brian- 1979 Debate. The film was not to ridicule Jesus, but was a statement people should think for themselves and not let some educated religious person tell them what to do. It's all about "If you keep them dumb, I'll keep them poor"<br /> <br /> As Samuel Clemens Said: “The very ink with which all history is written is merely fluid prejudice.” The history we learned had a political agenda. That's why it doesn't contain African civilisation, which was way earlier than the European. Although...<br /> <br /> Gandhi once replied on the question “What Do You Think of Western Civilization?” “I Think It Would Be a Good Idea”<br /> <br /> This film still does what it was supposed to do. People talk about it. When I would say before WW II there was an American pro-Hitler NAZI movement, most people would say I'm totally nuts and it wouldn't have much effect, but if somebody would make a comedy about it, it would reach a public that would otherwise not have learned about this fact. <br /> <br /> ==============================<br /> Discussion reveals stuff not everyone knows.<br /> ==============================<br /> <br /> If you understand the world, you will appreciate this movie.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br />

It was my pleasure showing this to my girlfriend for her first time. Mouse loved it. There's no humor quite like Monty Python and the surreal logic and absurd happenstance are right up my alley. The nonsense, escalating to extremes, play on words and the mishearing of them, among themes of religious faith and ways of thinking culminate into one immense feeling that the universe is absurd and there's nothing you can do about it. Yet, without being so bleak or nihilistic, it offers us the answer, to look on the bright side of life; and I think that kind of sums up my views on life in our universe all together.


Life is absurd. Everything we do is absurd. These are things society should think about more often. Life is confusing. Life makes so sense. Life has been decided behind your back by people or things with more power. Life is random. Life is surreal. Life is absurd. All we can do is live it. We live in the universe. We are the universe. The point of life is to live it, to experience it. Tell your story. That's how we learn. And with that, go out laughing. Have a blast. Have fun. As long as you're not hurting others, do what makes you happy. Look on the bright side of life.

This isn't Monty Python's best.
In fact, it's very ordinary humor for the most part.
The story of another man living a life parallel to Jesus could have been much funnier than this.
However, people who love "dry humor" may appreciate this one more. It isn't the slapstick humor that we usually get from Monty Python that leaves a person nearly dying of laughter.
It's very low key humor. The only memorable scene is the suicide squad that comes to save Brian, which lasts a few seconds.
It's not totally boring, but it comes close. 4/10
