Brian is blasphemous

Rating: 8/10 (11 October 2002)

Whether or not someone thinks "Life Of Brian" is a direct attack on Christ or just a really stupid and/or funny parody, if the Monty Python boys released this back during the Inquisition, they would have been strung up by their toenails and whipped horribly. Besides that, I think "Life Of Brian" is more blasphemous than funny. I got about 2/3 of the way through the film when it started going downhill. By the end of the film, I was glad it was over. Jesus Christ is the most revered person in all of human history and it is hard for me to watch a parody of his life. The men of Monty Python made a somewhat funny film but it wasn't as funny as "Holy Grail". Besides being shocked by the entire film, I also realize there are much worse films out there. Overall, this is a pretty daring work by the famous comedy troupe as blasphemous as it was despite it not being their intention for the film. I give it an 8 out of 10.
