Terry Jones (Brian's mum) died recently from dementia. He was an extremely talented writer, director & comic actor. The worst thing about his type of dementia is that it took his speech way before it took his mind. He suffered greatly for so long. Michael Palin stuck by him til the very end. Jones was a true national treasure.
@@BernieUndErtHe died of throat cancer, not from alcohol. He was indeed an alcoholic but was sober for over ten years (starting when Life of Brian began filming) prior to his death.
The aliens scene always is jarring to me too. But thinking about it maybe it’s a statement on conspiracy alien theorist wondering if miracles and religions could have been founded by aliens visiting the earth… I don’t know but maybe that’s why that scene is there.

"Wait till Biggus Dickus hears of this!" Fun Fact: When Pontius Pilate (Michael Palin) addressed the soldiers daring them to laugh, he was truly daring them. The soldier extras were ordered to stand there and not laugh, but not told what Michael Palin was going to do. Michael Palin, in fact, can barely stifle his own laughter when saying "Biggus Dickus" in front of the soldier asked if he finds the name "risible". Also, watching y'all laugh was a lot of fun. This movie is so iconic and was very controversial when it was released. It's amazing how well it holds up even after nearly 50 years.
The Actors were told if they laughed they wouldnt get paid. So they were 100% trying as hard as they could not to laugh. They still got paid but it made the scene
@@Tinman452 this is a popular urban myth but tragically untrue - in fact, the so-called "extras" are comic actors and producers in their own right, and worked with the Pythons on multiple occasions. The reality is that the scene is just so bloody funny that everyone struggled to resist laughing, Michael Palin included.
Fun fact that's simply not true. Firstly the actors were not extras, they were professional comedy actors that together played 12 different roles in the film. Charles McKeown the first guard to be taken out played 4 roles in the film and is personal friends with the Monty python team. Chris Langham is a well known comic actor, he's the one pulling the face, he played 2 roles in the film. Andrew Maclanhlen the guard behind Brian on the right played 2 roles in the movie and is a well known British comic actor. Bernard McKenna, the guard behind Brian on the left is a British comedy icon, he was part of the writing team for Life Of Brain and played 4 different roles in the film and is personal friends with Michael Palin and John Cleese. No one was threatened with being sacked or not getting paid for laughing in scene 13. The guards laughing is part of the story it's how Brian gets away. Scene 13 was rehearsed many times and everyone involved knew what they were doing and what the scene was about.
16:21 the spaceship was added as a joke because the movie was released at the same time that Star Wars: Empire Strikes Back was being filmed. The Pythons put in the spaceship scene so they could “corner the Sci Fi audience”
My favorite part was when the new religion first formed with his followers, schisms emerged within minutes. The gourdists vs. the sandalists. And even the sandalists had a schism.
“Always Look on the Bright Side of Life” was and probably still is the one of the most popular and requested songs at funerals in Britain. I’m having it at mine! That plus the Canon in D.
This was the song played at Terry Gilliams funeral. He was the first to pass away in the group. His "Brian" will always be iconic, even if he runs funny. :)
My grandfather was quite the Monty Python fan and "Always Look on the Bright Side of Life" was his absolute favorite song. At his funeral, which we kept light as he would have liked it, I sang the song, complete with music. Family and friends loved it.
I've been to a bunch of Iron Maiden concerts and they always play "Always Look on the Bright Side of Life" after their concert as people leave. It is so cool listening to 1000's of metalheads singing and whistling along to it.
I took my daughter for her first concert at 10 or 11 to Brit Floyd, and they did the same thing. I'd shown her the song only weeks before and she whistled along with many of us.
"Always Look On The Bright Side Of Life" was played at the funeral of Graham Chapman (Brian), which was attended by all of his Python castmates. John Cleese, delivering his eulogy, made a point of saying "I'd like to take this opportunity to be the first person to ever say 'F***' at a British memorial service", at Graham's request.
I first saw this film when I was a born-again believer, and I was not only NOT insulted or angered by it, but I thought there were excellent points about the nature of humanity (don't get me started). My son almost peed himself when he first saw the "Bigus Dickus" scene. What joy!
IIRC the most "offensive* points were those who were absolutely true about the historical context, as such hitting close to home: There were lots and lots of Jewish groups trying to get rid of the Romans. Freedom fighters/terrorists/separatists, all a matter of perspective. Which is why there were lots and lots of prophets/messiahs of more or less questionable sanity preaching about the end of this Roman realm/empire/physical reality. Those were the scenes that led to a ban of this film in many places.
Such a comedy legend. Eric Idle wrote the majority of the material for this movie. And since he was best friends with George Harrison, Monty Python was able to make this movie possible. Reason being, when their financial backers bailed out on them, George stepped in and paid for the entire movie. Because he just wanted to see the film. He actually makes an appearance in the movie.
13:34 “He’s a goblin!” That’s Terry Gilliam, the only American member of Monty Python and the guy who did all of their animation sequences. He’s also the guy who was banging king Arthur’s coconuts in the holy Grail (that sounded dirtier than I meant it, too).
He's also the writer and director of "Brazil", and among others also directed "12 Monkeys", "The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus", "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas"... he's had a long and varied career.
I love this movie so much. Monty Python were all historians and philosophers as well as comedians. I took a couple religion classes in college and the professor showed this movie, and learning some of the more subtle jokes made it even funnier. My Latin professor showed the Romans go home part in class, too. I think the spaceship part of this movie is kind of a nod toward the Chariots of the Gods crowd. That book had only been published like ten years before this movie. Anyway, I'm glad you guys liked it, too. ✌🏽
The space scene was an homage to "Monty Pythons Flying Circus". There were all kinds of weird animations that would pop up in the middle of most of their shows.
Palin is, in my opinion, the funniest guy in the Monty Python troupe. He kills everything lol. Especially when they don’t expect the Spanish Inquisition.
Flawless comedy. Hugely intelligent writing hidden in pure silliness and stupidity Monty Python paved the way for modern day comedy they literally broke down barriers for everyone else Your editor for this reaction left out huge segments and major parts ppl want to see
Did you see George Harrison’s (you know, from The Beatles) cameo staring into the camera in a crowd scene? He helped finance the movie, along with Pink Floyd, Elton John, etc. I’ll always love MP&HG but this film is definitely their best. The Pythons were all super smart college boys and did a lot of research on the time period.
"Wolf's nipple chips" is actually a sly reference to Romulus and Remus, the legendary founders of Rome. They were supposedly abandoned as babies and nursed by a she-wolf.
The Romans famously had strange and largely unavailable fashions, in food, fabrics, decorative plants -- they competed socially for class, position, and prestige in most things. If you look at Roman cooking recipes you'll see popular absurdities come and go over the ages, recipes which are not quite as ludicrous as wolf nipple chips or dried otters' noses, but close enough for satire. The Python players are all quite over-educated, and I'm sure you're right that Wolf Nipple Chips had allusions to R&R being suckled by a wolf. But I'm also sure that was a secondary joke, after the parody of fads and fashion, which is one of the main satirical themes of the movie.
@@Mirrorgirl492 Well said. Just like all the high trends of today, same same. The gold flake drinks and food. Michelin starred mukbangs. All the latest whatever. I don't think the West has ever recovered from the trauma of Roman conquest and colonization. We keep repeating what European peoples went through, all the historical infighting and colonization of other people's lands. Like an abused kid growing up to be an abuser. We still ape Roman civilization in so many ways, have never really faced ourselves and gotten beyond it. Same shit, different day, I guess. Python, I'm telling you. Geniuses.
When I first saw this movie and I saw that scene, I remember looking it up on Google and all types of websites trying to find out the significance of the UFO. Still don't know to this day. Just was like that's random and let it go...
It's also a plot device used in ancient Greek and Roman plays called "Deux ex machina" or hand of the gods who would sometimes interfere to assist the hero.
@@JohntheLNERP2 Man I need to watch the flying circus. There's so much stuff that I've seen. I've watched all the Monty Python movies but I've never watched the series.
16:35 "I don't remember aliens in the Bible!" actually, if you read Ezekiel in the Old Testament, the descriptions the prophet made of the angels could be construed as aliens... as some conspiracy theorists have pointed out
Yes, there are descriptions of angels which are terrifying, all eyes. And nowhere in the bible does it say when you die and go to heaven, you become an angel.
@@johnnehrich9601 Angels are only "Drones" who work for God. When people die and go to heaven they become Saints not Angels. Angels are beneath Humans because Angels do not have Souls!

@@ironcrusader728 That stuff comes straight out of 60s-70s counter culture rhetoric, similar to the “Help! Help! I’m being repressed!” rhetoric of the anarchosyndicalist commune in _Holy Grail_ . It wasn’t invented out of whole cloth by either the Pythons or more recently woke folk.
@@markhamstra1083 Okay I never claimed any of these things I dont know why you are getting so argumentative over it haha, This movie just holds up a mirror to today's society That is all I am saying, is that okay with you?
Fun Fact: The older Gentleman with the white beard standing in the middle of the group at about the 20:00 mark is Spike Milligan, A legend of British comedy whom the Pythons idolised. He was in this area of Tunisia at the same time as the Pythons by sheer coincidence making a documentary for British TV about his WW2 days fighting in North Africa. When the Pythons found out he was there they invited him to the set and he ended up making this Cameo in the Movie (in the actual Movie it lasts a little longer with Spike getting a few seconds alone on screen)
Back in 1991, I was in Mr Laycock's history class. Mr Laycock and I had the same taste in British comedy, so I'll never forget him ushering the students into the exams going "crucifixion party? Good. Line on the left, one cross each." Lovely fellow, Mr Michael Laycock. Newlands College, Wellington, New Zealand, just on the off-chance that another of his former students should pass this way.
YES!! The tagline reads, "So Funny, It Was Banned In Norway," as it was pulled from theaters in Europe, stating that it offended members of the Jewish, Catholic and Christian communities.
@OctoKrool The guy that "walks like a goblin" later directed "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas", along with many other movies. He also did the artwork for Monty Python and was one of the lesser-known members. I can't recall if you guys have seen Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, but you should. It's based on the book by Hunter S Thompson, that wonderous Gonzo journalist, and the lines between fact and fiction blur. But, based on anything I've read of Hunter S Thompson's life (Johnny Depp plays him in the movie) it feels pretty legit.
Monty Pythons Flying Circus members originated satiric crazy humor. They all sent off into other directions eventually...one being Terry Gilliam, director, producer of awesome films...i.e. TWELVE MONKEYS"
In case you didn't realise it, everything in the movie was taken from the Bible. The sermon on the mount, the punishment of stoning for utterring the name of the lord, the whole woman issue, the time when the guy was helped by a bystander who scarpered, leaving him with the cross. Even the visitation by aliens is alluded to as an interpretation in the bible. Then all those "miracles" that people claimed had happened, the "sacred", holy items (the shoe, the gourd). This is exactly how hundreds of religions started and were continued. The whole thing was brilliantly done. Cheers.
Just realized that the bit with the aliens could be the Pythons parallel to the "showed him all the kingdoms of the world" part of the Bible story. Just his luck he wasn't paying attention.
"DEUS EX MACHINA … 'god out of the machine' is a plot device whereby a seemingly unsolvable problem in a story is suddenly and/or abruptly resolved by an unexpected and unlikely occurrence." [Wikipedia]
It's possibly a dig at people who believed aliens visited Earth in ancient times, and might be accountable for events in the Bible. This "ancient aliens" stuff was very popular at the time, with best-selling books like Erich von Däniken's "Chariots of the Gods" and Josef Blumrich's "The Spaceships of Ezekiel".
The aliens made a lot of sense for the time this first came out (August 1979). It was between Star Wars (May 1977) and The Empire Strikes Back (May 1980). Everyone watching Life of Brian at the time immediately saw it as a Star Wars joke and thought it was hilarious.
Hi guys, some trivia about this hillarious comedy: 1. The preaching scene in the beginning is making fun about the sermon on the mount: When Jesus was speaking to 10.000 people, how could they all understand him? 2. The "latin lesson" is even funnier if you know that John Cleese who played the guard was a latin teacher before he came to acting. 😂 3. About Sue Jones-Davis (Judith): "In 2008, she became a Plaid Cymru town councillor in Aberystwyth. Between June 2008 and May 2009, she was Mayor of Aberystwyth. Upon taking the office, she was informed that the town had banned Life of Brian and prohibited it for nearly 30 years because of her nude scene. It subsequently emerged that although Ceredigion county councillors had reviewed the film in 1981, and found parts "quite unacceptable", they did not officially ban it. She sponsored a charity screening of Life of Brian. In July 2008, Jones-Davies was interviewed on BBC Radio Wales and BBC Radio 2 about the film and its status in Aberystwyth. She was also profiled on BBC Radio 4's Woman's Hour. The film was screened on 28 March 2009 at the Aberystwyth Arts Centre. It was attended by cast members and the co-writers of the film, Michael Palin and Terry Jones. The event was broadcast on BBC One on 12 May 2009 as a documentary titled Monty Python in Aberystwyth: A Mayor and Two Pythons." (Wikipedia) 😎 4. At the public memorial service for Graham Chapman (Brian) the rest of the Pythons sang "Bright side of life" for him. 5. 16:50 This scene is makin fun of the concep of "deus ex machina" that many writers use: the hero of the story is trapped in a dead end with no obvious way of escaping and then BOOM sombody or something is helping him out of the situation. Just think of the original "Star Wars" when Han Solo rescued Luke Skywalker in the battle of the Death Star. So the Pythons thought "What could be the most ridiculous way out of this?" 😉 In my opinion, no other movie is making fun about religion and especially religious radicals better than this one: Birth of a new religion, devision in radical splinter groups, persecution of "unbelievers" and they interpret everything the "founder" said their own way, not how he intended to. OK, "Dogma" by Kevin Smith is pretty good, too 😉
I find myself singing the opening theme (with over-the-top Shirley Bassey impersonation and all) frequently (usually, whenever I hear the name "Brian.").
Oh shit. The conjugation scene brings back memories. When it comes to conjugation, I would definitely have no choice but to get it right every time. Moreso at home than in school. That's what happens when both of your parents are teachers.
That may have been the first use of a hand as an eye socket. We see it again in 1982 - The Dark Crystal (Aughra, Keeper of Secrets), and the Clash of the Titans 1981/2010 with the Stygian Witches. 2006 Pan's Labyrinth took license with the Pale Man design having the eyes in the hand palms. I don't remember it before Life of Brian..
🎶 Life's a piece of shit When you look at it Life's a laugh and death's a joke, it's true You'll see it's all a show Keep 'em laughin' as you go Just remember that the last laugh is on you 🎶
So, there's this thing in literature called "deus ex machina". It's a plot device where a seeming unsolvable problem is solved by some random occurrence or character. It shows up in all sorts of ancient and modern literature, and also famously the Bible. Here, we have Brian's likely death saved by a literal machine from the Heavens, and then abruptly crashing to also resolve THAT plot hole. He's even called a "lucky bastard" by a dude that witnessed it all.
Aside from the Monty Python reactions, the Anchorman reaction, the Conan reaction, the Austin Powers reaction, the Taken reaction, the Spinal Tap reaction, and the Napoleon Dynamite reaction, what has OktoKrool ever done for us?
FUN FACT: this entire movies budget was funded by George Harrison from the Beatles and he actually has a cameo in the movie. He’s the guy they introduced Brian to right before he gets arrested at the end of the movie.
I remember seeing the Flying Circus listed in the t.v. guide and tuning in only to be baffled that it wasn't an actual circus! Took a few years for me to appreciate what was actually being presented.
The goblin jailer is Python member and director Terry Gilliam. The Big Nose guy is also Python member Eric Idle. Also, when the movie was released it was banned from being shown in several towns, including the Welsh town of Aberystwyth. When Sue Jones-Davies, the actress who plays Judith, was elected mayor of said town, she reversed the ban and the movie was finally shown.
Saw this in local cinema in 79 and laughed so much I had to see it again a few days later. My catholic neighbour was horrified, mortified and outraged and wouldn't speak to me for many weeks. As I'm an atheist it was especially funny. Been a fan of Monty Python all my life and been quoting lines from this film through the years!
Interestingly, Scientology was founded in 1953. And the same year this movie came out, 1979, several of its highest ranking members were convicted and imprisoned for a bunch of shit.
About the alien part. That was the Monty Python's crew attempt at making fun at the concept of Deus ex Machina (God in the machine) where in modern terms, is when you write a character and put him in a tight spot and cornered yourself into a box since you still need him for the rest of the movie so you write in a suspiciously convenient saving. They just pushed it to the absurd extreme because unlike The Holy Grail where 4th wall breaking were since the begining of the movie, in Life of Brian, nothing narratively prepares you to that so when it happens you're really like: WTF????????????????
Actually, the aliens are in the bible. Well, kinda. That scene is based on Matthew 4:5-7 where the devil tries to get Jesus to jump off a cliff since God would save his son. In the movie, Brian falls and is "saved" (by God, or as you said, by Deus ex Machina).
@@kevinsullivan2153 I'm not christian, so didn't really read the gospels, but I'm pretty sure an alien ship didn't appear out of nowhere to pick up the Jesus guy.
One of the most important issues with "Life of Brian" is that Brian is being mistaken for Christ all his life. It is NOT a story of the life of Christ, but some people can't or won't see the difference. When it came out in '79, some bishops in England led a crusade against this film, calling it a mockery of Our Lords life, and the pythons were trying to defend the film
He said he was having a cardiac arrest--pretty sophisticated term for a Roman centurian. I read the guards were not apprised before hand about Biggus Dikkus joke.
The last time I listened to "always look at the bright side of life" and whistled and bobbed along was on 12 Dec 1991 (yep I am old). While the song was playing on the radio the phone rang and we received the news that my aunt had died suddenly/ unexpectedly. She would have laughed at the irony of this, but still the song now only makes me sad Loved your reaction to the movie though. It's a classic...I just concentrated on your comments instead of the song at the end 😉
Yes! Please conclude with The Meaning of Life. Unpopular opinion, it is my favorite. Mainly because it has more skit type scenes like the Flying Circus.
The alien bit was them making fun of deus ex machina situations that so often get used to get protagonists out of situations where they appear cornered. They enjoy coming up with the most random deus ex machina to insert without explanation. Have you guys watched Monty Python's The Holy Grail? There are a few random deus ex machina in that one too.
I used to borrow this movie on VHS at my local video store , i didn't understand the references until my adulthood. Monty python my favorite comedians of all time👍🔥🔥🔥🔥 Oh by the way , seeing a random *Banana and grapes* uh 🤔🤣🤣
There is a Tv show which aired after the film was released which had two of them on with a priest who hated the film and they go at each other as it goes along. The church didn’t want the movie releasing ag the time. Worth a watch
10:18 .....There's an ester egg in Fallout: New Vegas, where you can find this writing in a wall.... although, not written a 100 times, of course......
Great reaction check out the game 1997 Director: David Fincher Stars: Michael Douglas, Deborah Kara Yunger Sean Penn. Believe me you won't regeret it..
Movie recommendation: "The Corsican Brothers" (1984). Cheech and Chong made several movies back in the day, and most were about the devil's lettuce. This one was not. It's a period piece, it's insanely funny, and its humor would kind of remind you of Monty Python.
The whole "Loretta" bit AND character was added to make fun of the British left-wing movement in that they were under continuous "cause creep" rather than focusing on core ideological drives, e.g. the rights of workers or national self-determination. Also the concept of the disagreements of these ideological directions causing splits is shown with the People's Front of Judea, Judean People's Front and the Judean Popular Front. And the general ineffectuality of in the whole "What have they ever done for us?"
"WHO'S THIS GUY?" - That jailor is the only American member of the Pythons - famous director Terry Gilliam. He's also the one who made all the animations.
Broooo this is awesome! Favorite reactors watching one of my favorite movies. Idk if it’s because of me, since I suggested it a few videos ago, but I think we’ll go with that 😂
Brian is just like Domino... Luck is the superpower. Falls off a tower and summons aliens to crash land... and now Romans have access to computers, thanks a lot.
So for the Biggus Dickus scene, all the gaurds were extras. So they were told, that if they laughed in the scene, then they were not going to be paid. So thats why they were holding in their laugh so hard.

What what what? Where does George appear in the field?

“He’s a goblin!”
That’s Terry Gilliam, the only American member of Monty Python and the guy who did all of their animation sequences. He’s also the guy who was banging king Arthur’s coconuts in the holy Grail (that sounded dirtier than I meant it, too).
There’s a monty python sketch forming in my head from that 😂😂
He's also the writer and director of "Brazil", and among others also directed "12 Monkeys", "The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus", "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas"... he's had a long and varied career.
@@jzero4813 for the love of God, these dudes totally need to watch fear and loathing in Las Vegas
Ryan Way; LOL.....
I love this movie so much. Monty Python were all historians and philosophers as well as comedians. I took a couple religion classes in college and the professor showed this movie, and learning some of the more subtle jokes made it even funnier. My Latin professor showed the Romans go home part in class, too. I think the spaceship part of this movie is kind of a nod toward the Chariots of the Gods crowd. That book had only been published like ten years before this movie. Anyway, I'm glad you guys liked it, too. ✌🏽
I always thought the space ship scene was a reference to the Star Wars which had really taken off in popularity at the time
The space scene was an homage to "Monty Pythons Flying Circus". There were all kinds of weird animations that would pop up in the middle of most of their shows.
@@andreabesserman7741 Terry Gilliam did animations in all of the Python movies as well. Not sure why they would need an additional homage
@@andreabesserman7741 Homage?? You're drunk, it's disgusting
The alien bit was commentary on Star Wars mania, which was everywhere then.
Palin is, in my opinion, the funniest guy in the Monty Python troupe. He kills everything lol. Especially when they don’t expect the Spanish Inquisition.
He's c-c-c-coming to k-k-kill me!!
Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition!

Flawless comedy.
Hugely intelligent writing hidden in pure silliness and stupidity
Monty Python paved the way for modern day comedy they literally broke down barriers for everyone else
Your editor for this reaction left out huge segments and major parts ppl want to see
Did you see George Harrison’s (you know, from The Beatles) cameo staring into the camera in a crowd scene? He helped finance the movie, along with Pink Floyd, Elton John, etc. I’ll always love MP&HG but this film is definitely their best. The Pythons were all super smart college boys and did a lot of research on the time period.
"Wolf's nipple chips" is actually a sly reference to Romulus and Remus, the legendary founders of Rome. They were supposedly abandoned as babies and nursed by a she-wolf.
The Romans famously had strange and largely unavailable fashions, in food, fabrics, decorative plants -- they competed socially for class, position, and prestige in most things. If you look at Roman cooking recipes you'll see popular absurdities come and go over the ages, recipes which are not quite as ludicrous as wolf nipple chips or dried otters' noses, but close enough for satire. The Python players are all quite over-educated, and I'm sure you're right that Wolf Nipple Chips had allusions to R&R being suckled by a wolf. But I'm also sure that was a secondary joke, after the parody of fads and fashion, which is one of the main satirical themes of the movie.
@@willcool713 Rich Imperialist Tidbits
@@Mirrorgirl492 Well said. Just like all the high trends of today, same same. The gold flake drinks and food. Michelin starred mukbangs. All the latest whatever. I don't think the West has ever recovered from the trauma of Roman conquest and colonization. We keep repeating what European peoples went through, all the historical infighting and colonization of other people's lands. Like an abused kid growing up to be an abuser. We still ape Roman civilization in so many ways, have never really faced ourselves and gotten beyond it.
Same shit, different day, I guess. Python, I'm telling you. Geniuses.
'His rendition of always look on the bright side of life' THATS THE ORIGINAL! 😂
The best part is the UFO scene since it doesn't make sense which makes it hilarious
It's a chance for Terry Gilliam to show off his awesome art style
When I first saw this movie and I saw that scene, I remember looking it up on Google and all types of websites trying to find out the significance of the UFO. Still don't know to this day. Just was like that's random and let it go...
It's also a plot device used in ancient Greek and Roman plays called "Deux ex machina" or hand of the gods who would sometimes interfere to assist the hero.
@@shioriryukaze I think it supposed to be like the killer joke from Monty Python Flying Circus a complete mystery
@@JohntheLNERP2 Man I need to watch the flying circus. There's so much stuff that I've seen. I've watched all the Monty Python movies but I've never watched the series.
16:35 "I don't remember aliens in the Bible!"
actually, if you read Ezekiel in the Old Testament, the descriptions the prophet made of the angels could be construed as aliens... as some conspiracy theorists have pointed out
Yes, there are descriptions of angels which are terrifying, all eyes. And nowhere in the bible does it say when you die and go to heaven, you become an angel.
@@johnnehrich9601 Angels are only "Drones" who work for God. When people die and go to heaven they become Saints not Angels. Angels are beneath Humans because Angels do not have Souls!

This film is so ahead of its time
No It Wasn't ....
Right, because until very recently, almost no one had a sense of humor or any knowledge of religion and history.
@@markhamstra1083 I wasn't referring to the religious elements or history, I was referring to the Stan saying he can have babies and is now a woman scene, The stoning scene were Just the mere mentioning of a word can have insane consequences, The infighting of Both the peoples fronts even though they are both fighting for the same cause, and The worshipping of nonsense false prophets, All of these elements are substantially evident in today's world more so than ever
@@ironcrusader728 That stuff comes straight out of 60s-70s counter culture rhetoric, similar to the “Help! Help! I’m being repressed!” rhetoric of the anarchosyndicalist commune in _Holy Grail_ . It wasn’t invented out of whole cloth by either the Pythons or more recently woke folk.
@@markhamstra1083 Okay I never claimed any of these things I dont know why you are getting so argumentative over it haha, This movie just holds up a mirror to today's society That is all I am saying, is that okay with you?
Fun Fact: The older Gentleman with the white beard standing in the middle of the group at about the 20:00 mark is Spike Milligan, A legend of British comedy whom the Pythons idolised. He was in this area of Tunisia at the same time as the Pythons by sheer coincidence making a documentary for British TV about his WW2 days fighting in North Africa. When the Pythons found out he was there they invited him to the set and he ended up making this Cameo in the Movie (in the actual Movie it lasts a little longer with Spike getting a few seconds alone on screen)
Back in 1991, I was in Mr Laycock's history class. Mr Laycock and I had the same taste in British comedy, so I'll never forget him ushering the students into the exams going "crucifixion party? Good. Line on the left, one cross each."
Lovely fellow, Mr Michael Laycock. Newlands College, Wellington, New Zealand, just on the off-chance that another of his former students should pass this way.
YES!!
The tagline reads, "So Funny, It Was Banned In Norway," as it was pulled from theaters in Europe, stating that it offended members of the Jewish, Catholic and Christian communities.
Bugger Them!
@OctoKrool The guy that "walks like a goblin" later directed "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas", along with many other movies. He also did the artwork for Monty Python and was one of the lesser-known members. I can't recall if you guys have seen Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, but you should. It's based on the book by Hunter S Thompson, that wonderous Gonzo journalist, and the lines between fact and fiction blur. But, based on anything I've read of Hunter S Thompson's life (Johnny Depp plays him in the movie) it feels pretty legit.
Yup, Terry Gilliam, also directed "Brazil", "Time Bandits", "12 Monkeys", "The Fisher King", and more.
He's also the only American in the Monty python troupe!
@@scottwatson9453 And the only Goblin 😄
@@jonisilk Don't forget 'Tideland'.
Monty Pythons Flying Circus members originated satiric crazy humor. They all sent off into other directions eventually...one being Terry Gilliam, director, producer of awesome films...i.e. TWELVE MONKEYS"
In case you didn't realise it, everything in the movie was taken from the Bible. The sermon on the mount, the punishment of stoning for utterring the name of the lord, the whole woman issue, the time when the guy was helped by a bystander who scarpered, leaving him with the cross. Even the visitation by aliens is alluded to as an interpretation in the bible.
Then all those "miracles" that people claimed had happened, the "sacred", holy items (the shoe, the gourd). This is exactly how hundreds of religions started and were continued. The whole thing was brilliantly done. Cheers.
Just realized that the bit with the aliens could be the Pythons parallel to the "showed him all the kingdoms of the world" part of the Bible story.
Just his luck he wasn't paying attention.
"DEUS EX MACHINA … 'god out of the machine' is a plot device whereby a seemingly unsolvable problem in a story is suddenly and/or abruptly resolved by an unexpected and unlikely occurrence." [Wikipedia]
Might have also been a joking nod to Star Wars (and all of the other sci-fi movies coming out at the time).
Also liked these guys pointing out that Brian ended up being also the first man in space.
It's possibly a dig at people who believed aliens visited Earth in ancient times, and might be accountable for events in the Bible. This "ancient aliens" stuff was very popular at the time, with best-selling books like Erich von Däniken's "Chariots of the Gods" and Josef Blumrich's "The Spaceships of Ezekiel".
So wonderful, so funny, and so clever. The goblin jailer, incidentally, is director (and animator) Terry Gilliam!
The aliens made a lot of sense for the time this first came out (August 1979). It was between Star Wars (May 1977) and The Empire Strikes Back (May 1980). Everyone watching Life of Brian at the time immediately saw it as a Star Wars joke and thought it was hilarious.
Everyone but a bunch of guys, stoned af, coming back to life three minutes later: "fuuuuck, you've seen thaaat?"
Monty Python is Iconic. Must watch viewing for anyone who likes intelligent silly comedy
I was singing "Every Sperm is Sacred" loudly in my car on the way to work just last week. Ah, the classics...
@@bluegreenglue6565 LOL amazing
Hi guys,
some trivia about this hillarious comedy:
1. The preaching scene in the beginning is making fun about the sermon on the mount: When Jesus was speaking to 10.000 people, how could they all understand him?
2. The "latin lesson" is even funnier if you know that John Cleese who played the guard was a latin teacher before he came to acting. 😂
3. About Sue Jones-Davis (Judith): "In 2008, she became a Plaid Cymru town councillor in Aberystwyth. Between June 2008 and May 2009, she was Mayor of Aberystwyth. Upon taking the office, she was informed that the town had banned Life of Brian and prohibited it for nearly 30 years because of her nude scene. It subsequently emerged that although Ceredigion county councillors had reviewed the film in 1981, and found parts "quite unacceptable", they did not officially ban it. She sponsored a charity screening of Life of Brian. In July 2008, Jones-Davies was interviewed on BBC Radio Wales and BBC Radio 2 about the film and its status in Aberystwyth. She was also profiled on BBC Radio 4's Woman's Hour. The film was screened on 28 March 2009 at the Aberystwyth Arts Centre. It was attended by cast members and the co-writers of the film, Michael Palin and Terry Jones. The event was broadcast on BBC One on 12 May 2009 as a documentary titled Monty Python in Aberystwyth: A Mayor and Two Pythons." (Wikipedia) 😎
4. At the public memorial service for Graham Chapman (Brian) the rest of the Pythons sang "Bright side of life" for him.
5. 16:50 This scene is makin fun of the concep of "deus ex machina" that many writers use: the hero of the story is trapped in a dead end with no obvious way of escaping and then BOOM sombody or something is helping him out of the situation. Just think of the original "Star Wars" when Han Solo rescued Luke Skywalker in the battle of the Death Star. So the Pythons thought "What could be the most ridiculous way out of this?" 😉
In my opinion, no other movie is making fun about religion and especially religious radicals better than this one: Birth of a new religion, devision in radical splinter groups, persecution of "unbelievers" and they interpret everything the "founder" said their own way, not how he intended to.
OK, "Dogma" by Kevin Smith is pretty good, too 😉
The alien part was a nod to Star Wars which was released two years earlier. It was all the rage, so of course Monty Python had to spoof it.
This is so perfect! I just showed this movie to my friend yesterday, so its perfectly fresh in my memory. Gods, I love these guys' timing
John Cleese taught Latin while he attended Oxford Law School where he met Graham Chapman, who was there studying medicine.
As soon as I saw the thumbnail I immediately had 'Always Look On The Bright Side Of Life' in my head. Legendary song and an iconic film!
I find myself singing the opening theme (with over-the-top Shirley Bassey impersonation and all) frequently (usually, whenever I hear the name "Brian.").
7:37 "Red Sea pedestrian" is easily one of the best things ever written. Period. 😁
I think the Stan/Loretta scene was better and years ahead of it’s time.
The Centurion Latin Lesson is better than both of those scenes combined!
@@realburglazofficial2613 Both those scenes are awesome, yes.
Oh shit. The conjugation scene brings back memories. When it comes to conjugation, I would definitely have no choice but to get it right every time. Moreso at home than in school. That's what happens when both of your parents are teachers.
In the UK that song 'Always look on the bright side of life' is the most requested song to be played at funerals! I have penned it in for mine!
That "WHAT THE FUCK IS HAPPENING" was Oscar-worthy, holy shit.
I'm sure this will be one of my favowite weactions!
Certainwee the best in Wome!
Terry Jones played Brian’s mum. He is just hilarious! He also hosts and wrote a lot of history documentary series-my favorite is The Crusades.
He also wrote a series of children’s books set in Medieval times which were super funny and informative. RIP to an awesome bloke!
hahaha!! Yes! His sidenote about the "washer women" was just exquisite! : )
That may have been the first use of a hand as an eye socket. We see it again in 1982 - The Dark Crystal (Aughra, Keeper of Secrets), and the Clash of the Titans 1981/2010 with the Stygian Witches. 2006 Pan's Labyrinth took license with the Pale Man design having the eyes in the hand palms. I don't remember it before Life of Brian..
🎶 Life's a piece of shit
When you look at it
Life's a laugh and death's a joke, it's true
You'll see it's all a show
Keep 'em laughin' as you go
Just remember that the last laugh is on you 🎶
So, there's this thing in literature called "deus ex machina". It's a plot device where a seeming unsolvable problem is solved by some random occurrence or character. It shows up in all sorts of ancient and modern literature, and also famously the Bible.
Here, we have Brian's likely death saved by a literal machine from the Heavens, and then abruptly crashing to also resolve THAT plot hole. He's even called a "lucky bastard" by a dude that witnessed it all.
Aside from the Monty Python reactions, the Anchorman reaction, the Conan reaction, the Austin Powers reaction, the Taken reaction, the Spinal Tap reaction, and the Napoleon Dynamite reaction, what has OktoKrool ever done for us?
This movie is a classic. So many great lines, scenes. RIP Terry, Graham. xx
One of the most brilliant movies of all time! Period!
The "goblin" is actually Terry Gilliam, prolific director of Time Bandits, Brazil, 12 Monkeys, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas and more.
The Song is everything! Britain took it to heart and made it their own- check out the videos of mass sing-alongs, esp those with Eric Idle . :)
FUN FACT: this entire movies budget was funded by George Harrison from the Beatles and he actually has a cameo in the movie. He’s the guy they introduced Brian to right before he gets arrested at the end of the movie.
Monty Python in the 70s on latenight TV, my uncle would let my cousins and I stay up late to watch and we were only kids🤣🤣Great memories!
I remember seeing the Flying Circus listed in the t.v. guide and tuning in only to be baffled that it wasn't an actual circus! Took a few years for me to appreciate what was actually being presented.
The goblin jailer is Python member and director Terry Gilliam. The Big Nose guy is also Python member Eric Idle. Also, when the movie was released it was banned from being shown in several towns, including the Welsh town of Aberystwyth. When Sue Jones-Davies, the actress who plays Judith, was elected mayor of said town, she reversed the ban and the movie was finally shown.
The follower scene is like a history in religions told in a few minutes. Brilliant.
Saw this in local cinema in 79 and laughed so much I had to see it again a few days later. My catholic neighbour was horrified, mortified and outraged and wouldn't speak to me for many weeks. As I'm an atheist it was especially funny. Been a fan of Monty Python all my life and been quoting lines from this film through the years!
A classic and to this day one of my absolute favourite pictures.
The topics they brought up is highly current to this day, and what a masterpiece.
GUYS, Brian did NOT become the Messiah, he was mistaken for him……you’ve missed the point entirely.
Interestingly, Scientology was founded in 1953. And the same year this movie came out, 1979, several of its highest ranking members were convicted and imprisoned for a bunch of shit.
This movie is amazing, I love Monty Python, but the best of all the Monty Python movies is Life of Brian. This is hilarious from start to finish.
The Biggus Dickus scene always gets me!
Does anyone think that anyone's mind has ever been expanded by listening to these two guys?
100%
They remind me of hanging out in the late 70's when I was old enough to assume responsibilities, but had yet to achieve them. Fun times.
"You're all individuals!"
"We're all individuals!"
"You're all different!"
"Yes! We are all different!"
"...I'm not."
WTF how can you leave out THE MOST FAMOUS SAYING OF ALL TIME FROM THIS FILM " hes not the messiah hes a very naughty boy"
Ah a classic. I always lose it on the conjugation, what have the Romans ever done, and the ex-leper.😆
Great movie you should watch great comedies like Top Secret and The Jerk.
About the alien part.
That was the Monty Python's crew attempt at making fun at the concept of Deus ex Machina (God in the machine) where in modern terms, is when you write a character and put him in a tight spot and cornered yourself into a box since you still need him for the rest of the movie so you write in a suspiciously convenient saving.
They just pushed it to the absurd extreme because unlike The Holy Grail where 4th wall breaking were since the begining of the movie, in Life of Brian, nothing narratively prepares you to that so when it happens you're really like: WTF????????????????
Actually, the aliens are in the bible. Well, kinda. That scene is based on Matthew 4:5-7 where the devil tries to get Jesus to jump off a cliff since God would save his son. In the movie, Brian falls and is "saved" (by God, or as you said, by Deus ex Machina).
@@kevinsullivan2153
I'm not christian, so didn't really read the gospels, but I'm pretty sure an alien ship didn't appear out of nowhere to pick up the Jesus guy.
One of the most important issues with "Life of Brian" is that Brian is being mistaken for Christ all his life. It is NOT a story of the life of Christ, but some people can't or won't see the difference.
When it came out in '79, some bishops in England led a crusade against this film, calling it a mockery of Our Lords life, and the pythons were trying to defend the film
This whole movie is jam packed full with quotes. There's no scene you can't quote something from.
And all of them hilarious.
This movie came out when I was a teenager, it and the Holy Grail are comic masterpieces of cinema.
Oh I'm so glad to see you guys watch this. I'm excited to see your reaction
He said he was having a cardiac arrest--pretty sophisticated term for a Roman centurian. I read the guards were not apprised before hand about Biggus Dikkus joke.
Not true.. everyone involved in scene 13 knew what it was about.
It's the guy that said ' you lucky bastard' when he walked out of the alien ship.
Monty Python at their best & silliest. This movie is number one on my list of favs. Originally watched it in a theatre when it was first released.
Awesome Work Guys, Thanks 👍👍👍😀 Greetings from Helsinki, Finland 🇫🇮🇺🇸🇫🇮🇺🇸🇫🇮🇺🇸
The last time I listened to "always look at the bright side of life" and whistled and bobbed along was on 12 Dec 1991 (yep I am old). While the song was playing on the radio the phone rang and we received the news that my aunt had died suddenly/ unexpectedly. She would have laughed at the irony of this, but still the song now only makes me sad
Loved your reaction to the movie though. It's a classic...I just concentrated on your comments instead of the song at the end 😉
You guys should react to "A Fish Called Wanda"
2 of the Pythons are on that and it's easily one of the funniest movies ever made.
We will never get a masterpiece like this again
Yes! Please conclude with The Meaning of Life. Unpopular opinion, it is my favorite. Mainly because it has more skit type scenes like the Flying Circus.
I love The Meaning of Life. I think it's my favorite MP movie, too. They're brilliant.
It’s not my favourite, but it does have some great songs!
The alien bit was them making fun of deus ex machina situations that so often get used to get protagonists out of situations where they appear cornered. They enjoy coming up with the most random deus ex machina to insert without explanation. Have you guys watched Monty Python's The Holy Grail? There are a few random deus ex machina in that one too.
I used to borrow this movie on VHS at my local video store , i didn't understand the references until my adulthood. Monty python my favorite comedians of all time👍🔥🔥🔥🔥
Oh by the way , seeing a random *Banana and grapes* uh 🤔🤣🤣
There is a Tv show which aired after the film was released which had two of them on with a priest who hated the film and they go at each other as it goes along. The church didn’t want the movie releasing ag the time. Worth a watch
10:18 .....There's an ester egg in Fallout: New Vegas, where you can find this writing in a wall.... although, not written a 100 times, of course......
Ave Caesar!
When HMS Sheffield was sunk in the falklandss, the infantry sang this version of "Always look on the bright side" while waiting to be evacuated,
My favourite is the holy grail, so funny, you should give that a try. I'm a massive fan of Monty python, grew up watching it as my dad loves them too
We've actually already done it!
@@OctoKrool oh haha, l haven't caught up on everything you've done yet lol
Great reaction
check out the game 1997
Director: David Fincher
Stars: Michael Douglas, Deborah Kara Yunger Sean Penn.
Believe me you won't regeret it..
Watch a fish called Wanda next. It is also a Monty python movie, and it is a great comedy.
A Fish Called Wanda is NOT a Monty python film.
You gotta check out "Yellowbeard"
Not a Monty Python movie, but some of the comedy troupe is involved. A great pirate spoof, with an outlandish cast.
Movie recommendation: "The Corsican Brothers" (1984). Cheech and Chong made several movies back in the day, and most were about the devil's lettuce. This one was not. It's a period piece, it's insanely funny, and its humor would kind of remind you of Monty Python.
8:26 This joke is a reality now 😂
"No one is to stone anyone, until I blow this whistle!" 💀
The whole "Loretta" bit AND character was added to make fun of the British left-wing movement in that they were under continuous "cause creep" rather than focusing on core ideological drives, e.g. the rights of workers or national self-determination. Also the concept of the disagreements of these ideological directions causing splits is shown with the People's Front of Judea, Judean People's Front and the Judean Popular Front. And the general ineffectuality of in the whole "What have they ever done for us?"
"WHO'S THIS GUY?" - That jailor is the only American member of the Pythons - famous director Terry Gilliam. He's also the one who made all the animations.
Broooo this is awesome! Favorite reactors watching one of my favorite movies. Idk if it’s because of me, since I suggested it a few videos ago, but I think we’ll go with that 😂
Hello guys, have one recommendation in movie for you: The Glimmer Man (1996), this movie is cool and funny.
Brian is just like Domino... Luck is the superpower.
Falls off a tower and summons aliens to crash land... and now Romans have access to computers, thanks a lot.
So for the Biggus Dickus scene, all the gaurds were extras. So they were told, that if they laughed in the scene, then they were not going to be paid. So thats why they were holding in their laugh so hard.
My mother won't stop talking about these guys and I haven't changed my clothes because of that.
