*Boldly Hilarious!* FIRST TIME WATCHING Monty Python LIFE OF BRIAN (1979) REACTION!

[@matthewmarcinko9157]

TOTALLY SERIOUS ABOUT THIS: The closing song "Always Look On The Bright Side Of Life" has literally saved my life through more than one dark night in my life. For someone with bipolar disorder, there is no greater therapy than this tune. Love the review, Shree!

[@ShreeNation]

Thank you ❤ So happy to hear about the positive impact the song had on you!!

[@Uberspanker]

most overlooked joke in this film: "Whatever happened to the Popular Front, Reg?" "He's over there."

[@stephenkehl7158]

Here’s my favorite fun fact: the film was banned in many nations and communities, including Aberystwyth in Wales. The ban was finally lifted in 2009 with the election of a new mayor, one Sue Jones-Davies, who played Judith (aka Brian’s lover). Thus, when it was screened, the town was treated to the sight of their new mayor in the altogether.

Look! A not made up fun fact on a Monty Python reaction video! 😃

[@Keleigh3000]

My favorite fun fact is during the Falklands war in 1982 as the HMS Sheffield sank the crew assembled on the deck awaiting rescue and sang Always Look on the Bright Side of Life.

[@jackal59]

After the first take of the scene where Brian goes to the window, Terry Jones (Brian's mum, who directed the film) told Graham Chapman, playing Brian, "Ah, Graham, we can see that you're not Jewish." This was corrected with a couple of strategically applied rubber bands, and the next take was successful.

[@ShreeNation]

Haha!

[@notvalidcharacters]

So that gray preacher guy at 22:36, is the animator Terry Gilliam, the same guy who came up with the space alien scene in the previous scene (he's also the jailer, and the deaf-as-a-post guard).

[@fahooga]

Monty Python is 6 guys: John Cleese, Michael Palin, Eric Idle, Graham Chapman, Terry Jones, and Terry Gilliam. They often play multiple characters, including female characters. They also often collaborate with Carol Cleveland and Connie Booth. This movie also has cameos by their mentor Spike Milligan and George Harrison, former Beatle and friend of Eric and Terry J who largely funded the movie.

[@dupersuper1938]

"I think I'm about to have a cardiac arrest." "Oh my god, my man had "a heat stroke"."

[@bluebear1985]

Eric Idle actually sung "Always Look On the Bright Side of Life" during the closing ceremony of the 2012 Summer Olympics in London. In addition to most of the original song, he wrote an additional verse for the occasion: When you're stuck on the world stage, With a bunch of loonies half your age, And everything is starting to go wrong. You want to run away, But you might as well just stay, Especially when they play your silly song.

[@ShreeNation]

"Always look on the bright side of life" was sung at Graham Chapman funeral....it was televised on the BBC...and John Cleese during his eulogy made a comment about swearing on the BBC for it as was live...How Graham was so happy before on how Python broke a lot of BBC censors minds....and in honour of his friend decided to be the first to say "Fuck!" on a live BBC show...the entire crowd stopped being sad as sad...and like a weight was taken off their shoulders and they just celebrated his life...Making fun of him...telling stories about him....really what a funeral should be especially with the whole crowd singing that song at the end...its on youtube and you should check it out tells you a lot what they are all about as a group

The tagline reads, "So Funny, it was banned in Norway." This is true as the film was pulled in some European countries that had members of the Jewish, Christian, and Catholic communities thought that the film was offensive to their religion.

This movie was my very first contact with something "british" and that's why i'm in love with these, because they had the balls.. in 1979 to make a movie like this, and this was super risky. And i am not religious. Not even a little bit. But it's a joy to see how people expose themselves when they get upset about this masterpiece. This movie was a courageous work of dark humor. And humor is always dark, because reality is ugly and bad. Laughing is all we have.

[@ShreeNation]

Well said :)

[@bluebear1985]

This film almost didn't happen, as just a few days before the Pythons were head out on location, the original funding was pulled. However, they were rescued at the last minute, when former Beatle George Harrison came through with the cash. His reason for doing it was simple, "I want to see the movie".

[@ShreeNation]

Bless you George Harrison!!

[@M3TR01DFANBOY]

"Symbolic of his struggle against reality"

[@GirlofCulture]

Indeed. But i prefer *The Meaning of Life* from 1983 it is little bit underrated because of Life of Brian.

[@kittycatmeowmeow963]

Fun Fact: The Ex-Beatle, George Harrison, wasn't only one of the producers of this movie, but he also sold his house so the Pythons would have enough money to make it. He also played one of the villagers in the beginning of the movie. You just can't see him 'cause there's too many people.

[@ShreeNation]

Fascinating!

[@-R.Gray-]

There were debates on British TV where Python members were defending themselves against the accusation of blasphemy. This inspired a funny sketch on the show "Not The 9 O'clock News" called "Python Worshipers".

[@ObsceneVegetableMatter]

"I actually find it deeply offensive that in a country that is still ostensibly a Python-worshipping country that a 14 year old child can actually get in to see this film." 😄 I think the sketch is actually called General Synod’s Life of Christ, not that it matters. It's funny as hell.

What makes the Biggus Dickus scene even funnier is that the actors were told not to laugh or they wouldn't get paid, so them holding their laughter makes it more funnier! XD The one who made this movie possible to get made was George Harrison from The Beatles - He read the script and loved it, he took out a mortgage on his house which became the movie's budget and the reason why he did it; he wanted to see the movie get made. He also have a small role in this movie too. Can't wait to see you react to their 3rd and final movie, Monty Python's Meaning of Life =)

[@davidmeir9348]

Apart from the dick jokes and the full frontal, this movie actually makes a valid criticism of organised religions taken too far and followed too blindly. Monthy Python actually got a lot of heat when the film came out but they denied making fun of Jesus saying that they just questioned certain aspects of religions through humor. Also, the alien scene was their way to make fun of the concept of Deus ex Machina. When a writer cornered himself into a box and use a questionably convenient saving to further the story.

[@DerekDerekDerekDerekDerekDerek]

Monty python wouldn't be monty python if it wasn't a mix of intelligent, silly and slapstick humour.

[@m.hunterstevie2081]

Yeah, the alien scene feels like an extension of the end of Holy Grail… satirizing plot devices like the Deus ex machina or the cop-out ending. There’s an episode of Flying Circus that dealt with the literal cop-out ending very well… I don’t know the season or episode number, but it’s the one which features the Argument Clinic sketch.😆

[@davidmeir9348]

@@m.hunterstevie2081 But contrarily to The Holy Grail, which by the end, if aliens had appeared you wouldn't have been surprised, NOTHING prepares you, even in hint, to their appearance in The Life of Brian. That is why every singly one of the reactors of this movie had the same face during this scene. WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK? 😯

[@m.hunterstevie2081]

@@davidmeir9348 Very true, the aliens are not a building narrative like the police are in Holy Grail (or in the Flying Circus episode I mentioned. But since we’re discussing it, even though it seems completely random I believe this actually is a deliberate joke on multiple levels. Terry Gilliam did say that they just decided to stick the spaceship in there as a plot device because they wrote Brian up to the top of the tower with no way off… but again, they could have just not made Brian go there or come up with a number of other convenient methods for him to escape. For me, there are two reasons why they did that (aside from give Gilliam a little more to do in this film). First, bear in mind that this film was released in 1979 which means it was probably being worked on for at least a year or two before that. You might recall that there was some movie that came out in 1977… that told a story of something that happened in a galaxy far, far away. That might have been sticking in a lot of film makers’ minds at that time, and I can’t help but notice that the small ship which is rescuing Brian is trying to escape from a much larger ship before being hit and crashing. There is also the case of “Chariots of the Gods?”, a book from 1968 that tried to make the case that most of the world’s technologies and religions were seeded on the planet by visiting aliens that humans accepted as gods. This book was a hot topic for a lot of the 1970s, but it looks like BBC actually made a big documentary about the book and its claims in… 1977. In other words, aliens were hot and people were speculating about their influence on religion. Even if not deliberate, there’s a lot of ambient noise around during that time to explain why Gilliam would pick aliens/spaceships out of a hat. 😁

[@robyfiorili]

Bigus Dicus is obviously a fictional Latin Roman name. Roman names often ends with "us" like Caius, Iulius, Maximus, Titus, Pompilius, Tarquinius and so on

[@long-timesci-fienthusiast9626]

Hi Shree, it`s always really good to see someone else watch & enjoy a film you yourself have enjoyed. I actually first saw this one in the cinema which is rare for me, the whole audience erupted with laughter throughout the film. Of course, I`ve since discovered things about it that I missed on that day. I grew up watching their tv shows including those previous to (The Flying Circus) & so knew what type of humour to expect. Glad you enjoyed it.

[@ShreeNation]

Thank you so much 🙂❤

[@Thunder_1977]

Hi Shree, some trivia about this hillarious comedy: 1. The preaching scene in the beginning is exactly about the question you asked: When Jesus was speaking to 10.000 peaple, how could they all understand him? 2. The "latin lesson" is even funnier if you know that John Cleese who played the guard was a latin teacher before he came to acting. 😂 3. About Sue Jones-Davis (Judith): "In 2008, she became a Plaid Cymru town councillor in Aberystwyth. Between June 2008 and May 2009, she was Mayor of Aberystwyth. Upon taking the office, she was informed that the town had banned Life of Brian and prohibited it for nearly 30 years because of her nude scene. It subsequently emerged that although Ceredigion county councillors had reviewed the film in 1981, and found parts "quite unacceptable", they did not officially ban it. She sponsored a charity screening of Life of Brian. In July 2008, Jones-Davies was interviewed on BBC Radio Wales and BBC Radio 2 about the film and its status in Aberystwyth. She was also profiled on BBC Radio 4's Woman's Hour. The film was screened on 28 March 2009 at the Aberystwyth Arts Centre. It was attended by cast members and the co-writers of the film, Michael Palin and Terry Jones. The event was broadcast on BBC One on 12 May 2009 as a documentary titled Monty Python in Aberystwyth: A Mayor and Two Pythons." (Wikipedia) 😎 4. 29:35 True, and that's what the movie is all about 😉 5. At the public memorial service for Graham Chapman (Brian) the rest of the Pythons sang "Bright side of life" for him. 6. Members of the Pythons often played female characters in their TV show "Monthy Python's flying circus", for example as "Hell's grannies". It's just part of their kind of humor 😉 In my opinion, no other movie is making fun about religion and especially religious radicals better than this one: Birth of a new religion, devision in radical splinter groups, persecution of "unbelievers" and they interpret everything the "founder" said their own way. OK, "Dogma" by Kevin Smith is pretty good, too 😉

My favorite game for Python movies is called "Find Terry Gilliam." Since he rarely spoke in their films, it's fun to pick him out. The only role I know for sure in this one is the bald-headed jailor opposite Eric Idle. In Holy Grail, he was Patsy, who famously utters the line "It's only a model" upon their arrival at Camelot.

They actually filmed this movie where Lucas filmed the Tatooine scenes from the first Star Wars. Around the time of Jesus there was quite a lot of messianic figures. There were several Jewish sects that broke away from the mainstream of Jewish thought, such as the Essenes (who wrote the Dead Sea Scrolls). Stuff I didn't pick up as a teenager and a Catholic at the time. It's only when I became an atheist and actually started reading about the period did I realize how surprisingly accurate this movie was.

Terry Jones had a degree at Oxford as a medieval historian (where he met Michael Palin, also Oxford educated). John Cleese, Eric Idle and Graham Chapman met at Cambridge. So despite all the absurdities, there are very sharp and knowledgeable observations about actual history. Monty Python knew their stuff and had all the intellectual tools necessary to dissect sacrosanct traditions of religion and royalty -- or should that be dithect thacrothannct twaditions of weligion and woyalty.

[@ebashford5334]

Also I just want to say in Holy Grail and Life of Brian, Chapman does a great acting job in both. He played those central roles fairly straight compared to the crazy characters around him. King Arthur as a kind of naive, sanctimonious and pompous king and Brian as a plain common sense man (and obviously very frustrated with everyone) in contrast to the insanity of Roman occupied Judea.

Brian's mother was supposed to be a woman, I think. Monty Python was a all male group. When they did their TV show, they traditionally played all the female roles too. Only taking in some extra women if it was important that the character was good looking. So I guess they kept doing the same even when they made the movies and could have more actors. I also think they wrote the characters for themselves as much as they could.

Thanks for doing this! I always thought it would be extremely interesting to see what someone from a non-Christian background would think of this film. Some notes: - The actor playing Jesus giving the Sermon on the Mount also played Admiral Piett in "The Empire Strikes Back" and "Return of the Jedi" - When the HMS Sheffield was sunk during the Falklands War , the surviving crew sang "Always Look on the Bright Side of Life" in the lifeboats to keep their spirits up - Michael Palin and John Cleese had a debate about the film with Malcolm Muggeridge and the Bishop of Southwark; in a somewhat Pythonesque moment, Cleese and Palin wanted to have serious, well-researched debate, while the 2 religious figures were more interested in delivering cheap shots and one-liners: kzbin.info/www/bejne/kIqwoYKYl9llqNU (Not the Nine O'Clock News then parodied this interview: kzbin.info/www/bejne/l6S4qn5sf7ynb7c ) - The spaceship scene came about because the writers had written themselves into a corner; once Brian got to the top of the tower, how was he going to get down from there unharmed? - The "I'm Brian" scene was a parody of the ending of "Spartacus".

1. The only scene in which we see Jesus preaching is when he delivers the so-called "sermon on the mount," one of his most famous speeches. 2. Stoning was forbidden to women, that's why they all buy fake beards and were them. 3. I think Monty Python played female roles when they involved a controversial point of view. 4. Fun fact: in ancient Rome, graffiti was painted on walls. They were usually for commercial purposes, but some of them had the same sexual content that you can see today on the door of any public restroom. 5. The list of things the Romans brought to the Jews is all true, especially the question of peace. 6. From my point of view, the appearance of the aliens was an imaginative way of allowing Brian to escape from the Romans, as well as adding the surrealistic touch typical of Monty Python. 7. Those men weren't priests, but prophets.

According to the Christian dogma, Mary, the Mother of Jesus, was a virgin when she gave birth to Jesus. Thats a teaching, which not all the Christian denominations do not share, however.

The Pythons regularly dressed in drag on their TV series so it's not a pronoun thing. They only had a couple women who appeared on the show. If one of them is dressed as a female you can safely assume the character is female.

This film was banned in Sweden as well, for blasphemy. I love it.

[@ObsceneVegetableMatter]

It was banned in Norway, never in Sweden.

[@HS-su3cf]

@@ObsceneVegetableMatter When it was marketed in Sweden as "The movie so funny it is banned in Norway", the ban was repealed.

[@ObsceneVegetableMatter]

@@HS-su3cf The Norwegian ban on the film was lifted in October 1980 after the film importer received a statement from theological experts who were allowed to see the film, and believed that there was no good reason for a total ban. It received an 18 rating, some jokes weren't translated and the movie started with a text saying that crucifixion was a common Roman punishment and that "Brian wasn't Jesus."

If Jesus were to return today right. If he did come back he definitely wouldn't want to see a bunch of crosses around their necks

Hi Shree! I really like this reaction! if you're interested in a different, serious but still totally UNCONVENTIONAL take on Jesus' life, I STRONGLY recommend The Last Temptation of Christ. I'll just say that Jesus is played by Willem Dafoe!!

[@ShreeNation]

Thank you for the recommendation 😊

About Loretta. Bad on the writers for writing the transgender character a joke (though, better than the 90s when transgender characters were villains), And GOOD on the writers for writing friends that accept her!

[@Greenwood4727]

how can you hate someone you can laugh at. thats the whole point, the UK has a tradition of men dressing as women, and women as men, its normal, so we are more accepting, drag, transgender, it doesnt bother many in the UK

As i understand it the names of god may be said by a Preist (probably what the dude with the scroll was) so he was the only one there who shouldn’t have been stoned 😂
