Life of Brian

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 Judean People's Front, 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.

Life of Brian is from the Monty Python team, the crazy English university folk who brought you the Flying Circus TV series and the films the Holy Grail and The Meaning of Life. With its outrageous religious theme which does not set out to offend only amuse, be prepared to laugh until you can laugh no more!!

When Life of Brian was first screened at cinemas in August 1979 it cause uproar and upset many people who were religious. The film is not meant in anyway to be blasphemous and the people who made these comments had obviously not seen it.

The total budget for the movie was $4m dollars.
