Review of Life of Brian (1979) by Adrian B — 29 Aug 2011

The cast members of the popular TV series have become with a super outrageous satire on religion. Brian is the chosen individual who is, I guess, to lead a rebellion in the confined Roman city of Judea, even though the group has listed more good things than bad in plotting towards the government.

Then the citizens mistaken him as the "chosen one" and well...it just gets bizarre from there on. The film is pretty awful at times, because the characters swear a lot in a religious time, but it is also quite funny.

Many gags are very silly and quite humourous. The film strays heavily off target, especially when the aliens come down and kidnap Brian. Graham Chapman is the only member to portray one character, Brain of course, while all the others are both men and woman.

It is super silly, but it is still worth the watch, even if it gets so utterly annoying after awhile.
