Smile from end to end stop smiling

Let’s start from the end. At the end of the film, the crucified Brian and his partner sang "Always see the bright side of life, even if you only have the last breath-------" , Twenty to thirty people were nailed to a cross two to three meters high, with their upper bodies naked and a scorching sun on their heads. Maybe tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, they will die at the latest, but everyone happily sang "always look on the bright side of life ", I couldn't help but laugh, and stopped after a while, the camera zoomed further and further, the people nailed to the cross on the top of the mountain looked a little solemn and solemn, but they were still singing in harmony, thinking about it and enduring it. Can't help laughing ------.

Looking further ahead, Emperor Caesar was going to release Brian, but when the Roman soldier asked "Who is Brian", a man joked "I am who I am" and the real Brian said "I am who I am", so he crossed. All the people on the page called "Me too" (someone said, "My wife is also Brian"). As a result, the fake Brian was dragged and released. He was still yelling "I'm kidding", really conscientious.

Moving on, Brian preached on the street in order to avoid the chase of the Roman soldiers. Everyone believed him, but before he ran away, he indifferently said "I don't know" to others, but he treated it as a guide from God. At this point, more and more believers followed him, whether he said "get away" or the broken shoes he dropped while escaping, they were all taken as instructions from God. He ran all the way, unwilling to be an inexplicable "Messiah". The believers felt that he was humble and cautious, mysterious and great, and convinced. I think of many, many examples in life, and I can’t laugh.

If we use the enthusiasm for dissecting Zhou Xingxing’s thesis, we can dissect the anti-leader worship heart, the anti-blind following lung, and the anti-religious fanatic liver, etc., but in my opinion, the director is just one Naughty boy, laughed at all the religious education he had received since childhood. Who said that Jesus would not be a Roman? Who said Maria is a virgin? Who says that Jesus can really cure lepers? Who said that Jesus never thought of running away when he was nailed to the cross? Who said that a man cannot be a Lolita and enjoy the right to become pregnant?

Moving on, at the beginning of the film, it turns out that Brian was a neighbor of Jesus. He was mistaken for Jesus by astrologers from afar when he was born and was blessed.

It turns out that everyone is Jesus Christ at the beginning. What we say is just like Brian, a gangster, who said in order to drive away believers, "Never follow others, don't believe what others tell you, you are a special person yourself." , As long as we believe, our words are the parables of God. I like the sentence someone said, "Life does not/do not need a meaning beyond its own meaning". Any additional meaning is absurd, just like what we said to Jesus The explanation is so absurd.

In the 1979 film, the setting is a bit fake, it looks like it was piled up in the shed, but this kind of false background contrasts with the absurdity that exists everywhere in the film, it looks like "Let you see the fake , All this is fake".
