The meaning of life (1983) christmas in heaven (spoiler)

[darinadarina100]

NO SOUND!!!! Whats going on?

[petzxy]

@darinadarina100 There is sound, but the sound level is low due to problems with the transfer from DVD to PC. At that time I didn't know how to fix it, fortunately I have learnt a few things! :-)

[5jerry1]

In drag, particularly in this scene, Eric Idle sort of looks like Edith Bunker.

[icsws55]

Maybe Mr. Creosote went to Hell for gluttony. No wonder he's not in the Heaven dining room.

[ClockworkComputer]

@koffeekage Heaven simply can't live up to it's definition of eternal bliss without tits.

[koffeekage]

what is the universal idea of heaven being filled with tits?

[DifelopiVanHens]

eternal that song :-o aaaaaarrgghhhh!!!!! Get me out of here devil please please!!!!!!

[MarcusSLazarus]

@DifelopiVanHens You can hardly ask to go to Hell based on a brief glimpse of a PART of Heaven

[MoveOverCasanova]

@theseeker2k5

well then, congratulation ) )

[Moralisten]

Someone knows what song/background music it is when they enter to heaven and the receptionist says "Welcome to heaven"? (2:20-2:36)

[blacksolar212]

lol i see the catholic sperm kids

[spacepenny]

ironically graham chapman is the one who died in real life and he's the one spotlighting in heaven in this movie. spoooky...

[RasMajnouni]

@spacepenny /"There's room for one more",you might not become old-and -in-the-way,but then,"That's Death"

[GiggidyGoo20]

the monthy pythons are making fun of christmassong singers like tony bennet who was singing in las vegas that time.

[PeterRoeder31]

Graham Chapman looks a bit weird in that film.

[OrontesRM]

yes, for some reason I can actually imagine Graham first trying to shoot the Reaper, and then signing in Heaven... but he would choose a cool pair of jeans and tennis shoes... rip grey :)

[Spudfish93]

Sony walkman and headphone sets, and all the latest video games!

I lolled!

[Jonathan6561]

Though Chapman, when singing, looks alot like Jeff Goldblum, he is probably modeled after Tony Bennett.

[SupremeKingDan]

He is.

[spacepenny]

ok if it's ot jeff goldblum, is graham chapman suppose to be doing an impression of him cause it's a pretty good one?

[spacepenny]

doesn't the guy who sings christmas in heaven look alot like or remind you alot of jeff goldblum. i'm still even second guessing that it might be him though it maybe graham chapman. who agrees with me on this?

[LootzO]

How did the girls with no tops on die?

[Dujeje1]

if i recollect right, they fell off a cliff running after a guy in the middle life...

its been many years haha

[NightBear01]

We did not see them die, but, like the children, the assumption is that everyone dies eventually.

[billabongodrum]

ok yes if you looked that far into my comments (7 months and more ago! you should have seen my explanation.

so get off your high horse and stop causing trouble.

[thoughtadventure]

Hey! I thought the answer was 42!

[ZillaRocks]

It seems to vary from person to person :)

[Wishyouwerehere080]

This song always makes me laugh

[NinjaGhostScorpion]

Jane Leeves, Fraiser's Daphne Moon and a Hill's Angel, also portrays one of the dancers in the Christmas in Heaven skit.

[ajgolfer1]

if thats heaven... fuck i wanna go to hell.

[ZillaRocks]

Hell would be even worse...

[evilbluemoon]

LOL Eric Idle's facial expression at 3:53-3:55 is just priceless. He makes such great women

[CCNuck]

Good Heavens Eric Idle makes a good woman.

[Dorelaxen]

I've read that Mr. Creosote is supposed to be somewhere in this sequence, but I've never been able to find him (which should not be hard to begin with). If he is, can someone point out where exactly he is?

[msmp90]

In The Autumn Years section

[Dorelaxen]

Oh, yeah, who could forget the restaurant scene, but he's supposed to also be in the heaven sequence (all the characters that died during the film are supposed to be here), and I was wondering where he was situated at in the room, as I've never been able to find him.

[drahoop]

i dunno if its him but their is a large blobish thing in a tuxedo behind the kids from the sperm song.

[lieutenanterrrrrrrr]

THE SALMON MOUSSE!!!

[Gasoline85]

Hey, I didn't even eat the mousse!

[OctoberWytche]

Yep, I saw The Reaper skip. Maybe he stepped in a meadow muffin.

I love how even their cars have ghosts in this...which leaves the question, is there valet parking in Heaven?

[truthseeker1972]

So the Heavenly afterlife is a horrible Vegas-style musical show.

Looking at this, I imagine Hell is like an eternal OzzFest.

[dking987]

hell is earth...

heaven is the astral plane

[vef444]

@dking987 Proof?

[csdniw]

wow what a strange heaven

[clarinetchum]

why are the angels bare breasted but everything else is covered-up why is it that way

[Dreaded88]

It's a jibe at what the British find funny: Buns, Boobs, and Fart noises.

[jacko1972]

i'm sorry, but anyone who is prattling on about the "racial mix" is missing the point.

have you people never heard of irony?

this is a self-depricating film, a fist in the ribs to pomposity, a tickle under the chin of everything "sacred"

it's supposed to make you laugh.

if you don't appreciate it,

change channels.

[clarinetchum]

when the reaper was leaving the hill it looked almost like he was skipping did anyone else see that

[happyprincess456]

canned salmon??

hahha

[psyaaahbishes]

When they enter the dining room and the table to the left is a women, isn't she the lady in the Spam skit?

[funkmasteryellow]

only white people yet most of the population in the world isnt white.

[britboyal]

thats not the idea, the people are all characters who died in the course of the film, and because the film is set in Britain (or its empire), that is why everyone is white

[funkmasteryellow]

Is that suppose to make it ok?

[britboyal]

ive noticed this conversation is infact irrelevant because not all are white, the Zulus from the 1st Zulu War sketch are in heaven at a table, as are the black 3 wise men during the nativity bit

[iloveallecchianime]

what are you trying to say? what does the percentage of a certain race have to do with this movie? why would you even think about it? go watch a indian movie or japanese movie or african movie. theres lots of those.

[mathuetax]

I think you'd be hard pressed to find any films made that have an exact worldwide racial makeup for the entire cast. Take for instance a US western fiction genre. The genre is pretty well set and it would unusual to have a Turkish Sheriff with a Taiwanese deputy, Nigerian mayor with Russian cowboy and an Inuit leading lady from Greenland. Not that it couldn't be done (And it would probably be a nifty 'send-up') but it's appeal would probably be limited.

[mathuetax]

The movie's country of origin plays a big part in that, but I'm sure you're already aware of that (i.e. it's a bunch of Brits so no big surprise there are a lot of caucasians) Hindi cinema and Bollywood have their own predilections on racial mix as does Nollywood in Nigeria or the highly varied Asian cinema industry.

[frustriert]

well the philosophy of monty python is that the payoff shld always be the worst part of the joke ... it definitely IS

lol

[AnanasZombie]

Oh my, the Death's finger! It's way too cool!

[aryllia]

Best ending ever XD

[billabongodrum]

is god played by jeff goldblum?

[Mooerin13]

haha no silly! thats graham chapman! hes part of the monty python group!

[billabongodrum]

i thought that graham had died(in the film) at the dinner party and was sat at a table and watching the show

it does have a look of Jeff Goldblum,or do my eys need testing?

also, given all the fuss of life of brian being about Jesus ( which it isn't) what a move by the python's casting Graham as god XD genius

[Mooerin13]

hes playin a different character lol thats why he doesnt look the same as the character at the dinner table! they all play like 12 characters each in the film haha and yes i totally agree it does look lke him!

[jc8ward]

You should check your eyes, perhaps your brain as well.

[billabongodrum]

ya well there's no need to be nasty about it.

[nichdavi04]

why the hell would jeff goldblum be in a monty python film? they're taking the piss out of americans, they wouldn't have an american in it (apart gilliam).

[JMein13074]

I thought that was him too at first.

[Silvermoth2]

Its very quiet, I can barely hear it

[petzxy]

A problem with the transfer from dvd to pc

[wade2bosh]

whats with the ladies dresses and the exposure????

[Mooerin13]

haha its monty python!!! could you expect anyhting else from them??!! lols :D

[2596704]

Hey! I didn't eat the mousse. BEST LINE EVER!

[JMein13074]

Best improvised line ever.

[bacardibreezer7]

That was improvised? I didn't know that. Makes Michael even more awesome. :)

[Pammy1960]

I know everyone pretty much likes this one the least, but this is my second favourite Monty Python. I watched it for the first time when I was eight, moments before Y2K didn't strike.

[LtKoerschgen]

Indeed =)

[LtKoerschgen]

0:07.

[petzxy]

She (Michael Palin) looks like "Now that was a real smart question"...

[Lotrompetista]

Who is he imitating?

[Nikihungary]

Perhpas Tom Jones.

[MihelicJ1977]

Monty Python rules, what a great bunch of comedians. I had the pleasure of working with Eric Idol once. He had no ego, no attitude, or anything. He was great, it is one of the best experiences with celebrities in my life.

I felt uncomfortable standing next to a comedy great, but he and his personality made that go away. I got very lucky to be in that situation, I hope you all can too. It is not hard just approch him, he is very receptive. Rock on Python!

[AaronMk91]

I love the the way the Reaper's skipping at 1:45 and 1:54 XD.

[TalkingPixiesHeads]

Jane Leeves who played Daphne Moon on Frasier is one of the topless angels apparently.

[noveltyisgone]

hate to break it to you, but chapman was not a fan of the ladies. nudge nudge wink wink

[Diskatopia]

Say no more, say no more,

know whatahmean, say no more?!

[Stephie2007]

i agree the man was a homosexual.

[treborregdoog]

The most brilliant film on you tube

[radstuf]

Excellent... Rest In Peace Graham! It`s Christmas everyday where you are =)

[sexualsherman]

Where's Mr Creosote? Everyone else that died is here!

[FlamingoKicker]

Well, maybe he went to Hell? Being such a horrible man.

[Noiseworker]

Well, it's not really established that he actually died. We see him explode, and him sitting there alive and conscious gazing at his guts, but that's it.

[horace1997]

On wikipedia it says that he is there, He must be Hiding some in there.

[FlamingoKicker]

You know the topless women that chased that guy off the cliff didn't die so why are they in Heaven? Everyone else in there died in the film. Oh well, you can't kick tits

[radstuf]

Yeah well, it`s the Monty Python`s you know ^^ God Bless Them!

[ePhilosopher]

Indeed!

[andygray]

Is there something wrong with the volume? I have this right up there as high as it will go and I can hardly hear it :(

[WicCaesar]

It's just GREAT!

[pgbrown]

Heaven reimagined as a 3 star travelodge complete with tacky B-grade Vegas dance shows! The horror, the horror!... :)

[nichlsonstu]

LOL good one

[fscher]

YES! I cant wait...

[mtded]

great ending!!!!!

[TonyMontanaLuque]

¿Por qué los Python eran tan absolutamente geniales?

[WhiptGirl]

Brilliant - one of my absolute favs
