The film "The Life of Brian" was created by the Monty Python team John Cleese, Michael Palin, Terry Gilleum, Eric Idle, Graham Chapman and Terry Jones. It was released in 1979. The story concerns Brian, who happenned to be born on the night of the original Christmas in an adjoining stable, and how he spends his life wretchedly being mistaken for the real Messiah. The reaction to its treatment of religious pretensions was extreme, ranging from rapturous admiration to protests and pickets, and even outright bans. Nevertheless the public and critics alike have consistantly voted it as being the greatest comedy movie of all time.
I sourced two youtube clips for our viewing pleasure:

About Me
- goinghome
- I am on a curiodyssey. Inherent is the desire for freedom and at the same time, a sense of its elusive ineffability, of constraints on obtaining or maintaining the state. Meditations on life, art, philosophy, humour and manifest phenomena can open doors, unlock chains or just lift the illusion of feeling alone. This blog, a media magpie, rounds up shiny scrolls and schedules select viewing!
