Monty Python takes us back in time

Rating: 9/10 (19 December 2010)

Brian Cohen is born next door to and on the same day as Jesus Christ.And he is mistaken for the Messiah.And he also gets the crucifixion.Life of Brian (1979) is a movie by the Monty Python group.It's directed by Terry Jones.Graham Chapman is very good at the lead.And then we see of course John Cleese, Terry Gilliam, Eric Idle, Jones and Michael Palin, all of them playing various characters.Kenneth Colley plays Jesus.The late ex-Beatle George Harrison is seen there as Mr. Papadopolous.The movie has a lot of fun stuff.Pontius Pilate is a funny character with his trouble to pronounce the letter r.The ending is a classic, with Eric Idle starting to sing "Always Look on the Bright Side of Life".After this film it's a little easier.
