The “ I’ve got something to say, but it doesn’t warrant its own thread “ thread.

It didn’t ask everyone to agree. It trusted audiences to understand the joke.

Admit it, after all this time, it's still bloody funny!!

Nearly 50 years later and Life of Brian is still doing exactly what great comedy is supposed to do… making people laugh, argue and think.

It’s hard to imagine many films creating the same kind of reaction today. It was fearless satire that poked fun at human behaviour, authority, politics and the strange things people do when they stop questioning the world around them.

For many fans, it represents an era when comedy was prepared to take risks, push boundaries and step into uncomfortable territory.

Love it or hate it, very few films are still being talked about decades later… and maybe that’s the biggest sign of just how brilliant it was.

Would Life of Brian get made today?

 

 

I don't think it would.
