Life of Bwian is one of those films that you can watch again and again and find that little something you missed previously. Monty Python's best film imo.
Our priest recited The sermon on the mount 25 yrs ago for our wedding, and when i whispered "blessed are the cheesemakers" my wife pretty much just lost it.
Steve Smith Someone at the back should have shouted “Speak up!”- I know it would have interrupted your wedding, but it would have been a fantastic moment haha.
I'll bet my life Christians have a detailed explanation of just how the people at the back heard every word clearly. _"For verily, his larynx was no ordinary larynx, it was the beginning of Dolby surroundsound."_
Marc Colten that’s most probably why none of it was written down at the time. It was left to the imagination of the writers of the gospels to put their own interpretations on it 200 years later.
Jim McCracken it’s for that important scatter effect and helps when you can’t throw a stone too accurately. At least people can say you joined in and tried stoning someone to their death. 🤷🏻♂️🙄🤦🏻♂️

John's body language in the stoning scene, leveraging both the insane length of his limbs and the flowing nature of those garments - you don't even have to hear the dialog to crack up.
I love how they go right from the sermon on the mount to a stoning and he asks his mom. calmly he asks, "why aren't women allowed to go to the stoning" and she sneers back like he's dumb "Because it's written! Thats why!" - freaking gold
@@mizofan I know that left wing people do enjoy Python and many other comedies, but I was talking about the 'Left' as in the political movement/ideology, not individual left wing people.
I was working on a summer work term betwen 2nd and 3rd year undegrad, and went to a movie theatre to pass some time. I had no idea what I was going to see, just picking something from the cheap night at the cineplex. And what did I see? Life of Brian. I had not seen any previews or trailers. I watched it cold and unawre. And there was me and 2 other people in the Tuseday night show at 11PM. And during this, and several other scenes, I nearly lost control of my bodily functions.

@@grunthostheflatulent9649 I'm sure a lot of abuse comes from really stupid, really passionate, really desperate people.

‘About Tea Time’ is such a Monty Python phrase. The Best British Comedy Ever. Amazing that one of the towns that banned the film, the ban was only lifted a few years ago, the Mayor of the town was the actress who played Judith, ‘that Welsh tart’. It was shown for the first time with Michael Palin in attendance.
What makes the Sermon scene so ingeniously funny is because the crowd is so huge, they all clearly respect Jesus for turning up. It's only the back of the crowd that have a rough time. Writing at its cleverest.
Chris G Um, dude, Jesus is the son of Jehovah, as in God. The son of God. The all-powerful, all-knowing, almighty creator of ALL life in the universe. He can read your most inner hearts and most inner thoughts. God is not stupid. And neither is Jesus. God knows more than Jesus. But Jesus, the Great Teacher, is smart too. The End. 🙏 Your friend, just some random Jehovah’s Witness dude AKA someone not important.

This thing is so funny, men dressing up as women, Jesus at the sermon on the mount preaching and people in the crowd fighting. And then the stoning, unbelievably funny. Send the person to the back of the line because I threw the stone too early. Awesome writing!
