Life of Brian (1979)
"Benxu" is too long, I thought Those who watch this movie first, when they see the first third of the movie, they know that this is a spoof, and the spoof is the same character as "Benxu"-Jesus. Therefore, I finished watching the film after watching "Ben Xu". The film is indeed the same as I guessed, so anyone who wants to watch this film must first watch "Ben Xu", and then watch the film to appreciate the laughter of the film.
The storyline of the film, like the name of the movie, tells the life of Bryan. Brian was very unlucky when he was born. He was born on the same day and in the same village as Jesus, and was mistaken for Jesus at one time. When Brian grew up, he sold groceries in the arena. One day when he was selling goods, he joined the Jewish People's Front in a daze and became a probationer. When he completed the task of the probation period, he followed the team and sneaked into the official residence in Rome, but was arrested. After he escaped by chance, he was considered by everyone to be a child of God, and he was chased by everyone. After some escape, he was arrested by the Romans. Unfortunately, he was going to be nailed to the cross. The Jewish National Front did not come to save him, his lover did not come to save him, and his mother did not come to save him. Even if the consul pardoned him, he was replaced by an impostor! In the end, he had to be nailed to the cross.
The plot of this film is basically a spoof of Jesus. A small part of the plot is completely a spoof of "Ben Xu". The scene of the field mission is also similar to "Bin Xu", even the movie posters of this film imitate "Bin Xu". It is estimated that the cast and crew of "Benxu" saw the film and all had to vomit blood to death. Except for the above several plots, the other plots are basically original.
Speaking of originality, I have to admire Monty Python, the film’s production team. I won't say much about them, there are many materials on the Internet. After watching their "Moncler and the Holy Grail", I have a basic understanding of the mode and characteristics of their movie making. Their films do not have a particularly obvious main story line, but are based on paragraphs, just like small humorous skits, and the same is true for this film. At the beginning of the movie, Jesus preached the fight, bought stones, talked with his mother, joined the Jews, etc., each scene has its own laughter. It can be seen that this is still using the model of "Monkey Python and the Holy Grail", one person is responsible for a part, and then everyone is gathered together to form a complete movie. There were several scenes that made me hilarious. Among them, the one writing on the wall was the funniest. The Roman soldiers stupidly taught the grammar and had to write it a hundred times. In addition, there is an interstellar war in outer space in the movie, which is so rich in imagination! Regarding these jokes, it is still the same sentence: there is nothing to do the most, only to do more.
Some of the spoofs in the movie involve many things, such as religion, politics, feminism, dictatorship, history, and so on. Every line of dialogue has its connotation, although it seems to be a laugh, but the irony is very deep. This is also the most essential difference between this film and other spoof movies. For example, the "Screaming and Screaming" series in recent years can be said to be rubbish in the garbage film. Apart from the cute laughter, it has no practical meaning, and it also made the reputation of the "screaming and screaming" series of spoof objects. Stinks. At the same time, many of the contents of this film will definitely make some people very disgusted. "Monkey Python and the Holy Grail" is just a spoof of British history and King Arthur, and it will not make the world oppose it, but the courage of the editors and directors is really awesome because of the blatant spoof of Jesus. With their courage, the film can also enter the film history, not to mention the film is still very good-looking? Therefore, this film is well deserved to enter IMDB250.
The actors in this movie are like "The Python and the Holy Grail", each of whom plays multiple roles, saving costs. For them, I am not familiar with them at first, and coupled with heavy makeup and cumbersome costumes, people can't see their appearance at all, so I won't say more. However, the only actress in this film looks too ugly, is this also a spoof? Want to spoof the beauties selected in the movie according to popular aesthetic standards?
In addition, this film has a completely nude scene, which makes me sick and ugly! It's not necessary at all, there are a few beautiful women who want to be naked.
In short, it is another spoof movie that subverts the tradition, which can make people think under the laughter. There is a lyric in the song in the film that I agree with. It probably means: when I come there is nothing, when I go there is nothing, there is no regret in life, it is true. A masterpiece worth seeing.
