Life of Brian
Brian Cohen is an average young Jewish man, but through a series of ridiculous events, he gains a reputation as the Messiah. When he's not dodging his followers or being scolded by his shrill mother, the hapless Brian has to contend with the pompous Pontius Pilate and acronym-obsessed members of a separatist movement. Rife with Monty Python's signature absurdity, the tale finds Brian's life paralleling Biblical lore, albeit with many more laughs.

Really Surprised!
Powerful
Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.
A story that's too fascinating to pass by...
Monty Python's Life Of BrianIt is far better than its predecessor, as it has some sensibility on the plot track and appropriate arc and structure in it, an essential ingredient that makes the feature what it is, and not merely a series of sketchy comic skits or jokes. Having said that, it doesn't suggest that it is one of the finest comic genre feature, in fact it never comes close to its due to its lack of an appropriate three dimensional character. It is short on technical aspects like sound department, costume design and editing. There isn't any specific vision for the director to execute on screen but still the work by Terry Jones is appreciative in here and shows a lot of potential to carry off a logical comic feature. The actors too improvise and blends in as the writer, and is probably the reason why the conversations are mind-numbing but hilarious on its own set terms and the bubble they all reside in. It works like a charm and sweep away its runtime swiftly through its various jokes that is stretched and depicted elaborately in here. Monty Python's Life Of Brian is flat out hilarious and goofy and is an improvement as it has a definite track to cover through the allotted time.
Greetings from Lithuania.As much as "Life of Brian" (1979) is a good movie / comedy - its an intelligent movie to begin with. Yes, the absurd it shows us is kinda absurd, but on the other hand, there are even more absurdity in life and religion. I liked the performances in this movie. Directing and script were great. The ending was great. Its not a perfect movie, but i kinda was surprised of how intelligent actually it was if you think about it. Also everyone gets their "share" in this movie - Jewish, Romans and everyone else. This is a good movie overall.
Personally, I think this is one of the most intelligent comedies ever made. Sure, it does have its share of simple slapstick and naughty moments, but generally, the topics the Pythons tackle here are very serious - albeit dealt with in a way that makes this a true contender for the funniest film of all time. A firework of hilarious sketches, timeless quotes and clever comments on the human condition, this film was deemed too dangerous for the masses and therefore, until recently, banned in several countries. This film never once makes fun of Jesus (Christ) - but it DOES take the mickey out of blind, fanatic followers of any political movement or religion. An outstanding achievement and endlessly re-watchable.
Genius. Watch out for George Harrison as man lending mounts on Palm Sunday!
