It's been decades since the last's viewing of The Life of Brian, and it is just as funny today. Is also interesting to think that this may be more socially relevant today than I was in 1979!

Greetings from Lithuania.As much as "Life of Brian" (1979) is a good movie / comedy - its an intelligent movie to begin with. Yes, the absurd it shows us is kinda absurd, but on the other hand, there are even more absurdity in life and religion. I liked the performances in this movie. Directing and script were great. The ending was great. Its not a perfect movie, but i kinda was surprised of how intelligent actually it was if you think about it. Also everyone gets their "share" in this movie - Jewish, Romans and everyone else. This is a good movie overall.

This is the best Monty Python movie ever made, with heaps of classic laughs. A different type of humour, but Monty Python's own. They all play multi roles and it's hilarious to see who they turn up as next. One of the greatest comedies ever made. The only slack bit, as one review correctly says, is the extra terrestrial scene.Contrary to what the Christians claim, it never made fun of Jesus. However, I can see it did point out that humans are a very gullible lot. Perhaps that's what really irritated those Christians?

Revisiting this film after many years was a real treat. I had forgotten just how funny it is and also that it is shot so well and flows seamlessly that one is inclined not to notice that, of course, it is essentially a string of hilarious sequences much as was the original TV show. Filmed in Tunisia, the locations are most convincing and with the use of many extras never has the look of a staid, set bound movie. So well directed that everyone seems to be having fun and giving a great performance but John Cleese, Michael Palin and Eric Idle are stand outs and a joy to watch. Terrible that the film should not only still be relevant in its attack on almost everything but perhaps even more so now with seemingly everybody being so sensitive about themselves. Possibly too many jokes entered around speech impediments but it did seem back then that so many people in positions of authority did seem to have some sort of strange way of speaking. Have I mentioned that it is funny? Well, it is - all the way through, and I even laughed out loud in my front room.
