One of the few people in the world, seemingly, who is capable of seeing beyond the banality of everyday life, and, more than that, is happy to risk his 'media image' in order to make other people aware of the stupidity that the masses call normality. Will always be a massive fan, keep up the good work Mr Morris.
have never seen chris morris being chris morris before. outstanding stuff - the man's a legend. i constantly switch between wanting him to produce more stuff, and being grateful he only produces stuff once he's happy with the quality. life's a bitch, huh!
I was disappointed that Nigel Lindsay doesn't appear in the interviews too. I thought his performance was brilliant - well they all were, weren't they. You might like Nigel in this scene, search 'Alan Partridge Muppet Massacre' where he plays a no nonsense talking ex-Special Forces hardman. Brilliant!
Some say he makes comedy to shock, and a lot of it is shocking, but what most people dont realise is that the most provocative and taboo subjects are sometimes the funniest. Chris Morris i Salute you :)
written by the Peepshow guys, directed by Chris Morris, produced by producer of Dead Mans Shoes and This Is England- how can it fail? i still havent seen it but the lovely DVd is sat on my shelf....me thinks it may be tonights viewing after watching this clip
Chris Morris is not only a clever and hilarious writer but he has proven to be a fearless intellectual who challenges both the media (who determine how the public views him) and Islam (who determine if he's worth filling a backpack with gun powder over)
@@neilsun2521 he’s still the best in my opinion but I literally don’t know anyone in my real life who knows about him beyond Four Lions…it’s sad because he truly is the best at what he does.
I wish that some of the deleted material had been kept. The scene with the main characters (running with make-shift explosives) away from the 'hoodies' extended the range of general stupidity out further. The links between those street gangs drawing their inspiration from an alien culture that they relate to and use to justify themselves tied in with what the main characters were trying to do very clearly. If the Afghan 'legs in paradise' scene was put back in it would have fitted nicely.
Yeah, the slicked back look is just for his reporter character. Actually, if you look up the "The Day Today" pilot on here, you'll see him do that episode with his natural hair.
The cleverest comic writer to have ever lived - though PC critics would never dare give him the credit for it. The Day Today and Brass Eye were masterpieces and no, the Paedogeddon thing was NOT a pro child molesting thing as many idiots claimed 10 years ago. It took the piss out of the warped bastards who do it and the even more warped members of the press who publicise it shamelessly.
It wasn't the PC brigade who went after him at the time, it was the moral drum bashers at the Daily Mail, and in parliament. Back then, the liberal/left were his allies. Today I'm not so sure. As you suggest. Today's liberalista have become the new book burning puritans, obesessed with defending everyones non existant right to not be offended.
@chrissyeggs I agree, especially about the 'sir' part. All these media lightweights getting knighthoods...Morris should be made an Earl!!...fuck it..KING!
Lovely film and on par with Ealing. One of those films where you plan on watching just 5 minutes but end up watching it all. There are just so many one liners especially in the mobile phone clip in the desert ie "James fuck Bond" "Fucking Mr Beans" etc etc ....... pure class n you just have sympathy for the lot of them even though they plan on killing people.....they are just a bunch of disillusioned misfits.
Probably fair enough. Was only joking. He/she is allowed to define themselves however they wish. They don't seem to be implying any authority because of it. In fact they appear to be suggesting the universal nature of comedy (that what is funny is human stupidity and self-delusion) not Muslims and that these labels are in fact irrelevant.
As a British Muslim, this film feels like a for-us-by-us film. I mean, it's difficult to believe that it was made by some poncy white middle class English guy.
@empollon2000 You display idiocy which is reflected in your remarks about "middle-class". Morris is a channel for outpourings of unsurpassable genius, that you should now make yourself aware of, if you have the brain matter/spirit.
@empollon2000 Wow you mean your racial and socioeconomic prejudices have let you down? Massive surprise. Though I'm positive it'll turn out you were being 'ironic'. It's a shame that this film was so utterly shit and unfunny. Everything else Morris has ever created has been top notch.

If Four Lions has given us anything, it's given us some GREAT Chris Morris interviews. something the web has been dying for.

I'm Muslim, 15, living in Manchester.
Chris Morris is either the funniest smart man, or the smartest funny man ever.
I LOVE YOU CHRIS MORRIS !! You are a true hero of our time, everyone pales in comparison, EVERYONE. He stands alone.
"Jacques 'Jacques' Liverot: A Man Sees God In His car. He Crashes."
Wow. Great video. Really nice to hear him just chatting!
Until this video, I have absolutely never seen Chris Morris not taking the complete piss. This has been a humbling experience!
This film is a masterpiece!

This is one of the first comedies that made me sad at the end.

Chris Morris is a genius and truly creative in the full meaning which is to be true to yourself and put your balls on the line and go for it.
Wish CM would make more movies like this
Some say he makes comedy to shock, and a lot of it is shocking, but what most people dont realise is that the most provocative and taboo subjects are sometimes the funniest. Chris Morris i Salute you :)
chris morris is a genius - check out his 'on the hour' radio stuff from 1991, phenomenal

as with most geniuses, chris morris is entirely underrated. 10 years from now he will be the most praised artist in england
Well, 10 years is up. Were you right?
@@neilsun2521 he’s still the best in my opinion but I literally don’t know anyone in my real life who knows about him beyond Four Lions…it’s sad because he truly is the best at what he does.
I think Chris Morris is a naturally v. cool man.

It's heartwarming when you get real, piss-take-less proof that he really is as genius as his work would suggest.
would be great if he came back and did a tv show or series:)
I cant wait to see this at the weekend :-) Anyone else going to the Sydney Film Festival?
Yes
Yeah, the slicked back look is just for his reporter character. Actually, if you look up the "The Day Today" pilot on here, you'll see him do that episode with his natural hair.
I don't think it was his natural hairstyle I think it was based on Paxman's

"that's a very biblical way of looking at it" ;)
It's a classic - I'm studying it for a university course.
@Pentdad actually, it doesnt look massively modern. its a bit dark, but there arent any candlelight illuminations if thats what youre thinking
"BAM, they're a twat, they're a berk..." haha brasseye flashback

ha ha him n jarvis scoring skag , probably the devils dandruff i'd say . jadore morris. legend!!!!!
Ted Maul is looking quite dapper these days .
@chopsuzy I saw it in Ireland in April. So I figured it was everywhere by now.
@Pentdad yeah its not quite that dark, but your basically right
@bennocelt Too true. Poetic really.
@chopsuzy I live in Dublin. Its gonna be a HELL of a journey for me but I'll give it a bash;) hehe
@solidheir Well said!!!
Yeah man, labels don't matter man. I see everyone as equals maaaannnn.
@Pentdad See the whole thread for that confusion. Though I have to say, that does sound like a Chris Morris line! :-)
Well, he wrote it as well.....
he went to my school :)
@chrissyeggs I agree, especially about the 'sir' part. All these media lightweights getting knighthoods...Morris should be made an Earl!!...fuck it..KING!
Love Morris intelligence to be on guard at all times to danger
@Pentdad yeah how do you know?
I know that guy haha
Both :o)
Genius
Whoa, is that his real hair?!
It looks like he's dyed it darker. It used to look light brown in the 90s
..or put product in it

I think Chris Morris is getting far too comfortable ....bring back the wild child who filled a radio studio with Helium!
I just found out the helium story was a joke by him and not a genuine event
@Irwin400 richard blackwood is that you?
Probably fair enough. Was only joking. He/she is allowed to define themselves however they wish. They don't seem to be implying any authority because of it.

@renegadecomplex *surreal
@Irwin400 Yeah, I hate it when your "heroes" turn out to be genuine, intelligent human beings and not grotesque caricatures
As a British Muslim, this film feels like a for-us-by-us film. I mean, it's difficult to believe that it was made by some poncy white middle class English guy.
@empollon2000 We're all together man
@azapro911 I agree with the sentiment, but I do find it funny that you consider the news reporters to be more warped than paedophiles.
wow... me too, shit.
@SethHesio omg sorry :'(
CHRIS MORRIS FOR PRIME MINISTER!
how can you call this guy a genie/look at his hair
damn! :s
oh i thought that said chuick norris up ther lol
He got older. It will happen to you too.
Is that Michael Portillo wearing a silly wig?
@jonathanbutcherUK 'tiz strange.... hrup
@MarcusMeridius OOH im the mujahadeen uh... thingy.. thingy rap rap..
@renegadecomplex ha! Be more diligent with your spelling in future.
@offthehook2 rubber dingy rapids brother
Fast track.

wtf happened to his face :s
@Irwin400 You're talking nonse-sense!
