    Also fun fact: the film was unoficially banned in the Welsh town of Aberystwyth, because of the scene with naked Judith, played by Sue Jones-Davies. In 2007, the new mayor of Aberystwyth lifted the ban. Her name was Sue Jones-Davies.

    The guy who walked away and didn't follow was a fellow named Spike Milligan, one of the funniest men to have lived. He just happened to be on holiday where they were filming and was talked into performing a cameo role. He's passed since then and his epitaph on his grave (which is not too far from where I live) states 'See, I told you I was I'll'.

      Actually the church authorities thought “I told you I was ill” was inappropriate, so Spike had it carved in Irish instead (he held an Irish passport despite having fought in the British Army in WW2, but when he applied for a British passport in the 1950s he was told he was ineligible because he’d been born in India in an army family, and so had his father; he got Irish citizenship through his grandparents).

    Fun fact: John Cleese used to teach Latin, so the scene in which he catches Brian writing "romanes eunt domus" is a lot more personal for him. Also, Latin was important in the Roman Empire - it was a requirement to become a citizen that one had to learn Latin.

      I spent the 1950s listening to Spike Milligan and the Goons on ABC Radio in Australia. I had a crystal set (a primitive radio) and listened to every Goon Show I could find. Spike wrote a large fraction of the Goon Shows which ran for about 9 years. I had no idea what I was listening to but it made me laugh. In later years I listened to as many of the Goon Shows as I could hear but by this time cassettes had made an appearance and I built quite a collection. Spike Milligan, Peter Sellers and Harry Seacomb were my heroes.
      I was really pleased to see Spike in the hoard following Brian. The boys were working on Life of Brian in Northern Africa when they bumped into him and they offered him a place in their movie. They did not offer any money though he insisted they were going to pay him. A wonderful man. He often came to Australia to visit his mother who lived in Woy Woy north of Sydney. Mike in Oz

    My recommendation, if you haven't watched it already, would be "A Fish Called Wanda". Apart from Monty Python members John Cleese (who also wrote it) and Michael Palin you have Jamie Lee Curtis and Kevin Kline in leading roles (Kline even got an Oscar for his performance). Also, it's a very dark humorous heist comedy.

    Each episode of the TV show Monty Python's Flying Circus is a half-hour series of different skits. There are two episodes where the story lasted the whole 30 minutes: Mr. Neutron, and the Cycling Tour of North Cornwall. There is another episode (You're No Fun Anymore) that is skits for the first 10 minutes, and the rest taken up by one story called Science Fiction Sketch.
    As for individual skits, my favourites are Argument Clinic, Cheese Shop, The Spanish Inquisition, and Spam.

      I mean, you could very well argue the same for The Spanish Inquisition. It's not so much _a_ skit as a thread running through that entire episode. If you edited out every individual part of that episode that _didn't_ eventually involve The Spanish Inquisition, you'd still have more than half of it left.

Harrison's manager, Denis O'Brien, set up a boutique company called HandMade Films to handle the financing. The company was created solely to ensure the completion of Life of Brian. The film earned more than $21 million at the US box office.

    FYI: in the scene where Brian’s group sneak in to the palace to kidnap the guy’s wife. In an alternate deleted scene, instead of fighting first with the rival group. They all agree to kidnap her, and decide later who has claim to her. But upon entering her room, they discover she’s eight feet tall (it’s a guy playing her) and stronger than the lot of them put together.
    She then escapes her room with them all chasing her, only for her to run back to her room and lock the door. Inevitably they blame one another, resulting in the fight.

  • @Alcagaur1
    @Alcagaur1 4 месяца назад +1

    Python drew from their British public school experiences - we, their fellow survivors, recognise the games session (stoning) and Latin lesson (graffiti), although in most cases without the stones and gladius respectively. Also in typical MPFC fashion, the spoken section of "Bright Side" over the credits basically refers to their difficulties getting funding for the film. Originally, Lord Lew Grade of ITC had pledged the money, but then at the eleventh hour it was pulled, possibly due to advice from his brother, the impresario Lord Bernard Delfont. George Harrison of the Beatles stepped in, putting up his multi-million pound home as collateral for the loan that financed the film (via HandMade Films created for this project).
    Hence, "I said to him, 'Bernie,' I said, 'they'll never make their money back.'"

    1:50 So... the joke about the "balm" bemuses a lot of folks.
    Popular in the UK in the 1970's as a heat rub for muscle strains etc was a product called Tiger Balm. The Wise Men brought along Myrrh, a balm / ointment, but that triggers Brian's Mum to think Tiger - a dangerous animal that might bite him.
    17:25 The bit with the aliens. The first Star Wars movie was released less than 2 years previously and was hugely popular. So for audiences watching back then, aliens appearing in LoB was a big laugh and everyone got that it was a reference to Star Wars / aliens building the pyramids / scientology / etc.

    There are four Python films:
    "And Now For Something Completely Different" - reenactments of sketches from their television show, including "The Dead Parrot", plus new material
    "Monty Python And The Holy Grail" - probably the consensus best/funniest of the films
    "Monty Python's Life Of Brian" - this film
    "Monty Python's The Meaning Of Life" - my personal favourite which includes a bizarre 16-minute intro called "The Crimson Permanent Assurance" which features accountants waging war, and also featuring the first screen appearance of Matt Frewer, later known as the star of "Max Headroom"

    There is a 3rd movie, Monty Python's Meaning of Life. You should definitely check out the TV-show Monty Python's Flying Circus, but If that one shouldn't happen then there is a 4th movie which is mostly a compilation of their most well known skits, some of them taken from the show and most of them are reshot I think, I know they combined two of their most well known skits, The Dead Parrot and The Lumberjack, for that one while in the show they showed up seperately. It's called "And Now For Something Completely Different".
    All of these are highly recommended! =)

    Definitely recommend seeing "Meaning of Life" as well as "And Now For Something Completely Different". But they also filmed a live show they had done during the 70s at the Hollywood Bowl in 1980 called "Monty Python Live At The Hollywood Bowl" . They perform some famous sketches from the TV show but also introduce newer ones (including a funny one involving Michelangelo and the Pope). Check that out, as well as this special that was on HBO back in 1995; it features a panel at that year's Aspen Comedy Festival with the then give surviving members of Monty Python plus Graham Chapman's ashes.

Then you have Holly's amazing editing that somehow manages to keep the best bits intact while still avoiding the dreaded YT block.
    So many amazing scenes in this movie, and it was a joy to watch this reaction. From Stan wanting to become Loretta so he can have babies ("Symbolic it is... The struggle against reality) to Biggus Dickus, to the full frontal surprises just lying in wait for YT Reactors... This movie has it all, and Toy and Tori's facial expressions, commentary and their physical gestures make this reaction solid gold!

    It’s rumoured that the extras during the “Biggus Dickus” were told that if they laughed they wouldn’t get paid, and the laughing was genuine.

      Firstly the guards were not extras they are respected comic actors, together they played 12 different roles in the movie.
      Scene 13 wasn't done in one take, it was done in many takes stitched together, and there was rehearsals and everyone involved knew what it was about.
      No one was threatened not to be paid for laughing in this one scene.
      One of the guards was part of the writing team and was important in the making of the film.
      The guards laughing at the correct time was important to the story as it was how Brian escaped.
      This myth of "extras not getting paid for laughing is ridiculous.

    Nobody on RUclips has ever reacted to one of John Cleese's very best performances:
    "Clockwise" (1986)
    John plays a very strict headmaster of a normal comprehensive school (11 - 18 years old)
    His exacting methods have led him to be declared "Headmaster of the Year" - a title normally reserved for headmasters of more priveleged private schools that educate the country's elite
    On the way to the awards ceremony, he accidentally gets on the wrong train ....
    What follows is a fast-paced nightmare of a road movie, as Mr Stimpson gets into all sorts of scrapes in an effort to make it to the Headmaster's Conference on time.
    John Cleese as "Mr Stimpson" is superb. I'm sure that role was purposefully designed for him; fits him like a glove.
    I've watched this film several times, and never been bored.
    I'm amazed nobody has reacted to such a great movie (I checked)!
    It's an open goal - you could be the first to react to "Clockwise"!

      It was banned in Aberystwth in Wales - and they only overturned the ban when a new female mayor took office ...
      That new mayor was Sue Jones-Davies, who plays Brian's girlfriend and gets all of her clothes off in the movie!
      And ... apparently ... it was her nudity that was the cause of the ban, not religion! (hmmm ....evidence please ...)
      The people of Aberystwth chose this lady as mayor, so that they could move into the 20th century (*even though it was the 21st century when they elected her) - and finally get to see .. "The Life of Brian"

Wouldn't surprise me if y'all soon start banning Christianity, or any religion that doesn't allow itself to become just a religious disguise for secular political ideologies like (like the State Church here in Sweden), and start throwing people in jail for simply not worshipping transhumanism.

      ​​@@jazzx251As a non-religious atheist myself it's funny. Because you don't need an official religion, or a belief in the supernatural, to be religiously minded. Most atheists are themselves suceptible to the very same things religious people are, group think, religious thinking, getting easily offended, banning, zealous behavior etc.
      Ideologies and political movements are secular religions, all with their own priests, evangelicals and prophets and martyrs. People are willing to blindly follow any political group, become staunch believers and are willing to kill and ban anyone and anything that goes against their beliefs.
      And looking at the new atheist movement, which I as an atheist myself despise... well, easily offended anti-religious people that do nothing else but attack all religions and all religious people, and do it with religious conviction, zealotry and righteousness... without understanding the irony of it all.. 😂
      It's hilarious watching atheists and Christians mirror each other to perfection, and both sides consider themselves better 😂
