Life of Brian Movie
This biblical parody focuses on Brian Cohen (Graham Chapman) who, due to a chain of ridiculous and comic circumstances that parallel the life of Jesus, is mistaken for a prophet and willy-nilly becomes a sort of Messiah. Eventually, having fallen in love with a rebel Judith, Brian joins up with an anti-Roman political organization - Peoples' Front of Judea. The Romans finally catch the reluctant Messiah and he is doomed to be crucified... Ultimately, the movie is a total mockery ranging from from Pontius Pilate to mad prophets, Roman centurions, and crucifixion.
Tagline
- The film that is so funny it was banned in Norway.
He wasn't the messiah. He was a very naughty boy.
- Honk if you love Brian.
See the movie that's controversial, sacrilegious, and blasphemous. But if that's not playing, see The Life of Brian.
- A motion picture destined to offend nearly two thirds of the civilized world. And severely annoy the other third.
Just when you thought you were saved...
