Life of Brian (1979) Trailer

Directed by Terry Jones
Written by Graham Chapman, John Cleese, Terry Gilliam, Eric Idle, Terry Jones, Michael Palin

Brian is born in a stable on Christmas, right next to You Know Who. The wise men appear and begin to distribute gifts. The star moves further, so they take it all back and move on. This is how Brian's life goes. The Jews are looking for a release from the Romans, Spiritual and political decay, keep looking for signs and a group decides Brian is the Messiah. He cannot convince them he is not. He joins the Peoples' Front of Judea, one of several dozen separatist groups who actually do nothing, but really hate the Romans. While not about Jesus, it is about those who hadn't time, or interest to listen to his message. Many Political and Social comments.

"Historical facts" right?

[TajikInUk]

Conflating Life Of Brian with The Innocence Of Muslims doesn't work. Life of Brian is an attack on religion in general and, when it briefly touches on Christ, it does so with respect. (Blessed are the cheesemakers). It certainly does not call Jesus a buffoon. I think a far more fitting parallel is between the rioters and the nutter who took out a bunch of Sikhs thinking they were Muslims. In both cases you have extremists using flimsy and misunderstood excuses to further an agenda of hatred.

I'm a Christian, and I love this movie.

Sorry to crush your dreams but they made fun of religion.

GOD DAMNIT! Every comment I read about just burns it more into my mind D:

[Xenaisthebusiness]

Can't believe I read your comment, so now when I finally watch the movie 4 years later, I'll still remember this.

Can't believe the trailer spoils one of the best surprise gags in movie history (the spaceship scene).

[James DeWitt]

brilliant movie and very very smart Monty Python and their movies know every nook and crany in this movie that other religious of a similar nature films do not even dare to explore.

Does anyone know who this narrator is? It reminds me of Morgan Freeman.

[Colm Hearne]

I'm a Christian, but I didn't really find this movie offensive
