    funnily enough this movie was (briefly) banned here in Norway for blasphemy (blasphemy was still against the law, even though it was mostly a dormant law at that point), which prompted Swedish movie theaters to advertise it as "a movie so funny that it was banned in Norway" :p

      @@grimmstryke9627 theyre both fruit... but Im really convinced by evidence that the basic logical reasoning behind both concepts is the same - so hate speech is blasthemy... nothing more nothing less (because hate speech is not about "hate" - you cannot prove or disprove hate in speech - hate is an internal feeling of individual, only the speaker himself knows if he hates or not...) Hate speech laws are about banning saying things you dont agree with (or the law maker doesnt agree with) - the very same as how blasthemy laws work - they are also about bannign saying things the law maker doesnt agree with (and again you cannot prove or disprove if some god is offended by blasthemy... only the god himself knows if he is offended if he exists) ...so thats the fruit part - theyre exactly the same concept. it just depends who doesnt agree with what.

    I watched this movie in Tel Aviv in the early 90s. It was a full room, over a hundred people. Only myself, and one other guy laughed during the entire movie. Everyone else sat in stony silence. When it was over, I waited outside for the other laugher, and we had a great time recounting our favorite scenes and reenacting them as best as we could recollect. Everyone else shuffled off with dour faces, as if they had just watched a documentary on the holocaust. I guess Monty Python are not for everyone...But they are wonderful, IMO.

That sort of behavior deserves to be mocked. The Romans were presented as quite silly too, and a lot of the Jewish characters were standing in for things that were going on in Britain in the 60s and 70s as well.

      "Should be a good one this afternoon: Local boy!" is kind of a UK reference to boxing/wrestling, I suppose in that if it's a 'local boy' then at least he's likely to have some local, and therefore more vocal, support, thus adding to the excitement and perhaps his performance.

    In the German synchro the scene ends also with the big boulder being dumped on the judge, but with a dry "Nice Throw" commentary
    Also a fun anecdote: at the wedding of a dear friend, me and a bunch of other close friends composed and performed a musical with scenes and songs adapted to events of the life of both the bride and groom, ending with "Every Sperm is Sacred" (another Monty Python Song), cause the bride was expecting ( they married after being in a relation for a decade, so no shot gun involved 🤣).
    I was standing right in front of the priest, doing the wedding. The thought process that i could see on his face when he was nodding to the melody, then stopping, realizing the lyrics, then shrugging and continuing to nod to us singing was pure gold.

    The thing with the Monty Python films is even though there is an over arching story, they are still very much like the TV show in that the scenes often come across as smaller skits within the main story. It is especially true with Meaning of life, but even Life of Brian and Holy grail have very much a sketch show formula. I think that while I know you have had to cut this down, the individual scenes do lend themselves to smaller reactions. You can't for really do that with a lot of comedy films.

  • @JohnnyJoe
    @JohnnyJoe 7 місяців тому

    The film "Monty Python's Life" of Brian was banned in several countries, including in Norway, which meant that in the neighboring country of Sweden (where I'm from) the cinemas gave the film the subtitle "The film that was so funny it was banned in Norway".
    John Cleese and Michael Palin engaged in a debate on the BBC2 discussion program "Friday Night, Saturday Morning" with the journalist Malcolm Muggeridge and Mervyn Stockwood, the Bishop of Southwark, who both were against the film and considered it blasphemous. That debate is worth checking out (available here on UA-cam) as the only ones who seem to have something inside the frontal bone are the two comedians who gave serious, well-researched points, while their two counter-debaters who represented the Church of England engaged in cheap jibes, point scoring and both mostly came across as two pompous idiots who didn't even seem to have a clue what they were talking about.
