Customer Reviews

Always look on the bright side of…… Life of Brian.

Certain movies stand out during the holidays. This is not one of them. It probably should be. You will find that many of the Python crew play many different characters in the movie. Now the truth can be told. It all starts with three wise men delivering gifts to young Brian. Oops, they correct their mistake. Later, Judea, 33 A.D., on a Saturday afternoon, once again Brian (Graham Chapman) is a tad far down the mountain when they hear what sounds like "blessed are the cheesemakers" (it's not meant to be taken literally, as that could mean any manufacturer). That is where Brian first sees Judith (Sue Jones). Later, he shall be involved in the People's Front of Judea. Later still, he will be mistaken for the Messiah (it is a logical mistake). Two factions fight over who owns the messiah (the Shoe Followers and Gourd Followers). You will recognize many of your favorite vices and verses. One of the highlights of the story is the speech given by Pilate and Biggus Dickus. As with most complex movies, you will find the one you are looking for: Python comedy, fanatic parody, or, if you wish, a deeper meaning. If you enjoyed this movie, the next on your list should be "Wholly Moses" (1983) with Dudley Moore and Laraine Newman.
