Life of Brian (1979)
8/10
The Ultimate Parody Film
28 August 2005
Carefully showing Jesus Christ in several scenes so that there is no confusion over who Brian really is, this movie truly showcased the writing and characterization talents of the Monty Python team. John Cleese, Michael Palin and Graham Chapman were brilliant. One of the few films I have ever seen where I know most of the lines by heart. A talented writing team bounced ideas off each other and fueled each other to really come up with a winner. The desert location filming really made this film, it would not have been the same on fake back-lot sets. The faith of George Harrison in the Python team ensured that adequate finance was put into the production. Our lives would not have been the same without the Life of Brian always there to watch again on a rainy Sunday afternoon with our feet up!
