Monty Python's Life of Brian
Brian is born in a stable on Christmas. 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.

It's a Mel Brooks kind of Jewish joke film made by gentiles.

Boys of my generation memorize the Monty Python repertoire as a buttress against the terror of losing their virginity.

Only a select few of [Monty Python's] truest fans will appreciate the message they convey in a movie that actively mocks the concept of organized religion while making us laugh along with them.

Sandaled Python pic too irreverent for young kids.

I've always considered it the group's nadir; it seems toothlessly silly.

Brian contains too many hilarious bits to single out the best.

It looked back 2000 years for its comic content, but was a decade ahead in provoking Christian controversy. Yet how much hotter would the steaming Pilate of blasphemy-accusations have got if the Pythons had included their scripted mockeries of Zionism?

Just as wacky and imaginative as their earlier film outings.

Brian's life is pure hell. And very funny to watch.

Python successfully lampoon religious attitudes rather than religion itself.
