About this product

Product Information

Monty Python delivers a scathing, anarchic satire of both religion and Hollywood's depiction of all things biblical with their second--and tightest--full-length film. The setting is the Holy Land in 33 A.D., a time of poverty and chaos, with no shortage of messiahs, followers willing to believe in them, and exasperated Romans trying to impose some order. At the center of it all is Brian Cohen (Graham Chapman), a reluctant would-be messiah who rises to prominence as a result of a series of absurd and truly hilarious circumstances that parallel the life of Christ--providing ample opportunity for the entire ensemble (John Cleese, Eric Idle, Terry Gilliam, Terry Jones, Michael Palin, and Chapman) to shine in multiple roles as they blaspheme and mock everyone and everything from ex-lepers, Pontius Pilate, and the art of haggling to crazy prophets, Roman centurions, and crucifixion.Directed by Python Terry Jones, MONTY PYTHON'S LIFE OF BRIAN is an uproarious biblical parody that does to ancient Rome what THE HOLY GRAIL did to the Middle Ages. Rome is run by pathetic wimps, liberation fronts fight with each other over acronyms, and gladiators put on bloody children's matinees as the people search desperately for someone to lead them out of their life of misery and poverty. And Brian is that man. Sort of. Well, not really. Chapman excels as Brian, a simple, quiet man suddenly thrust in the role of leading the revolution--while constantly being yelled at by his shrew of a mother.

    private dealers 10 Target 0

    I purchased 5 items on last Saturday 01/02/2015. 3 Monty Python movies, a Star Trek pin, and a Tribble - which by the way is adorable. I received 4 of the items by Tuesday. 01/05/2015. Two of the movies, the pin, and the Tribble. The 5th item was purchased from Target. I received it today. 01/07/2015 Bravo to the private sellers who rush purchases out to their patrons. I expected Target to be here first, but no, it was one of the movies from a private seller. Yes, I know it was only 2 days, but when a private seller beats a multi-billion dollar distribution center, it's a big hurray for the little guy.

  • The Greatest Story Ever Told ....and the Funniest

    It's hard to decide whether this or "Monty Python's Holy Grail" is their best effort. Whereas "Grail" is way more familiar to the public, "Brian" is a masterwork on another level. Although extremely irreverent - this movie has underneath a deep spiritual message. Really. The message is that true spirituality is not reached by worshiping another - it is not reached by following self aggandizing leaders and it certainly has nothing to do with condemming those who don't agree with your religious beliefs ie: "blasphemers" (one of the funniest bits in the movie). It comes from from finding the truth within yourself. The parellel of the absurd political groups presented (the Palestine People's Front, Peoples Liberation Front and several others constantly bickering with each other ) to todays ...

  • Life of Brian

    By far the funniest Monty Python movie ever made, although may appeal to Brits more than Americans, due to accents. Some say that this work of art is sacreligious, but please remember that it is not making fun of Jesus, just the way that the people of that time were so very ready to follow false idols. Brian's life runs parallel to that of Christ's, but there are very few referances to him, just histerically funny scenes with Centurians, Pilot, ancient militant groups (such as the PFJ - "People's Front of Judea") and of course occasional MP cartoonisms, coutesy of Terry Gilliam. Well worth seeing this movie!!!

  • Monty Python's Life of Brian

    If you are a Monty Python fan, then this is the movie for you. I remember seeing "Life of Brian" for the first time back in the 1980's. The comedy contained in this movie is still hilarious today. "Life of Brian" contains many clever scenes that can be considered classic such as the "Pontious Pilot" scene and te "stoning" scene. Those scenes always makes me laugh so hard that I actually cry -- no matter how many times I've seen theme! I must say that this is a good movie but it has a rather disappointing ending, otherwise, I highly recommend it.

  • Look on the brighter side of life.

    Laugh out loud hilarious. Brillant work by the whole troupe. Hope you have thick skin, because they expose everyone and their beliefs.
