Movie Commentary: The Magic Star of Wanshi

7 points. This movie of my age should be considered one of the creators of nonsensical spoof comedy, right? Whether it’s a Christian, Jesus, Governor of Rome, Jews, or even aliens, the directors all fired map guns, and no one ran away~~ The story reminded me of the "Raging Against the Sky" I watched some time ago. But after all, there is still a certain distance between the film and the current film in terms of funny. The story of this film and the content of Jesus are too deeply integrated. If the audience is not clear about this period of history, the understanding may be compromised~~

    Hot and cold nonsensical anti-religious films, which will be digested after reading the New Testament

    This film is another absurd and funny masterpiece produced by the comedy group Monty Python following "The Python and the Holy Grail". This nonsensical film not only entered IMDb250 like its predecessor, but was also selected as the "100 Best British Films in History" by "Time Out" magazine. If "The Holy Grail" is a parody of history, then this work is a subversion and mockery of religion, and religious people will inevitably be disgusted.

    Brian: You're all different!

    The Crowd: Yes! We're all different!

    Man in crowd: I'm not...
