Except the movie was never banned in that town in Wales, but she did arrange a showing because the movie had never been shown in the town, purely for financial reasons not because of any ban.

Julius Caesar once met a famous fortune teller near the Aventine. Caesar asked of him ''How will I die?'' The fortune teller responded ''Surrounded by friends!''
The tagline for the movie reads, "So Funny, It Was Banned In Norway." Because it was banned in Norway and several European countries as the Catholic Church thought it was an offensive film, mocking other people's religion.
The alien scene is sharp social commentary on Star Wars mania, and the way every TV show, production studio, and advertising, everywhere, seemed to shoehorn in some Star Wars or space reference, since the world had gone so crazy for it.
@@tbirdUCW6ReAJ Maybe you had to be there, but yeah, the world went mad for all things space and Star Wars. There were space themed plotlines on soap operas. James Bond had a movie on a space shuttle in orbit. Happy Days, the fifties themed TV show, had an episode and spin-off with Robin Williams as an alien time-traveller from 25 years in the future (contemporary time then). You couldn't escape it. Star Wars mania was in everything, on every magazine cover, in bad car ads, fluff pieces on the news, references on cop shows, billboards and bus benches, gas station promotions, window art at the grocery store, holiday decorations, it was just everywhere (and George Lucas encouraged it for a fat slice of licencing and merchandising). So the bit in the movie was a shrewd way to shoehorn in the same silly space themed BS, in the most ludicrous way possible, to turn it into satire. It was hysterical at the time, very irreverent.
The Smegol lookin guy is Terry Gilliam, the only American Python and the guy who used to do their animated stuff. He also codirected Holy Grail and went on to be a well respected director. He did movies like 12 Monkeys, Brazil, and The Adventures of Baron Munchhaisen.. all are classics... and if you wanna see one of his that feels kinda Python ish but more story and adventure, see TIME BANDITS. It's amazing.
They did one more movie called Meaning of Life, which is more like a sketch just like their Flying Circus show. There is however one more movie called And Now For Something Completely Different, which is basically a collection of their most well known sketches. If you haven't got time to watch their Flying Circus show, then this movie is for you.
🎵 Life's a piece of shit When you look at it Life's a laugh and death's a joke, it's true You'll see it's all a show Keep 'em laughin' as you go Just remember that the last laugh is on you 🎵
19:00 yeah, Brian gets abducted by aliens, goes into space, is involved in an intergalactic battle... lands right back where he was before. Well, he survived. Good luck/Bad luck.
You would LOVE the movie called YELLOWBEARD. Graham Chapman ( King Arthur, Brian ) plays Cpt Yellowbeard the Pirate! It is not technically a Monty Python flick, but it has several of the Pythons, plus some Mel Brooks regulars and Cheech and Chong!!
When Monty Python worked with BBC they had it written in their contract that they couldn't show "full frontal nudity". They found that phrase so funny, it became a standing joke. They also made sure to include scenes with full frontal nudity in their films, just because there was no one to tell them they couldn't. So, not key to the plot, but key to the lore. Oh, and the jailer that looks like smeagol is of course the great Terry Gilliam. Please watch some Terry Gilliams movies! They are all great, and super weird.
Time Bandits is by one of The Pythons and is Monty Python meets Spielberg with time travel, Clease and Connorey. A Fish Called Wanda is like Pythons meets pre Tarantino with Clease, Kevin Kline and Jamie Lee Curtis all GOATS in an amazing comedy.
"Understand?" "Yes, sir." "Now write it out a hundred times." "Yes, sir. Thank you, sir. Hail Caesar, sir." "Hail Caesar. And if it's not done by sunrise, I'll cut your balls off." Fun Fact: The six Monty Python members played 40 characters. Cameos Cameos Fact: Spike Milligan was on vacation in Tunisia while this movie was being shot. When the Python team realized he was nearby, they offered him a part. George Harrison briefly appears as Mr. Papadopolous. The costume designer Charles Knode appeared as the passer-by who saw Brian (Graham Chapman) emerge from the crashed spaceship. Political Parody Fact: This movie pokes fun at revolutionary groups and 1970s British left-wing politics. The groups in this movie all oppose the Roman occupation of Judea, but fall into the familiar pattern of intense competition among factions that appears, to an outsider, to be over ideological distinctions so small as to be invisible, thus portraying the "narcissism of small differences" phenomenon. Music Enthusiast Fact: Eric Idle originally recorded "Always Look On The Bright Side Of Life" in his normal singing voice. After deciding this was not quite right, he re-recorded it with a Cockney accent, singing the new dub in a hotel room with mattresses pushed up against the walls. The line "Bernie, I said, they'll never make their money back" refers to Lord Bernard Delfont pulling out of financing the movie at the last minute. What Script Fact: When Michael Palin as Pontius Pilate addressed the soldiers daring them to laugh, he was truly daring them. The soldier extras were ordered to stand there and not laugh, but not told what Palin was going to do. Palin, in fact, can barely stifle his own laughter when he asks if "Biggus Dickus" is "risible" to one of the soldiers. The famous scene required a fair bit of planning. Michael Palin, John Cleese and Graham Chapman rehearsed it many times the day before the shoot, with other extras playing the Roman centurion guards, so as to get their timing and movement right and to allow director Terry Jones to ensure the lighting, camera blocking and positioning were all correct. On the day of shooting the extras were changed at the last minute, as Jones knew that the only way the scene would work was if the extras did not know in advance what was going to be said to them so as to capture their reactions to the dialogue and Palin's delivery of it. The resulting comedy gold from this scene is mostly due to the unrehearsed reaction of the new extras. Jones made sure that the whole scene was shot in just two takes. It is believed the second take for most of the setups were the ones used in the film.
"It's symbolic of his struggle against reality!" How they predicted that in 1979 is absolutely mindboggling. Also, the actors playing the roman soldiers in the Biggus Dickus scene were told nothing except if you laugh, you won't get paid. This was pure honest reactions and not actual acting.
Yo, let me just tell you, I am so excited for this. You have no idea. I'll edit this as I watch the video. The way they just snatch back the gifts absolutely kills me. I cant believe you missed the part where Brians mom is a ho for Romans, lmao. Deadass got on her knees! 😂 I'm glad you enjoyed this lmao. Brian really had the worst life, man caught no breaks.
this was briefly banned here in Norway when it first came out, for being blasphemous (we still had a mostly dormant blasphemy law at the time, which they decided to make not so dormant for this particular movie for some reason), which prompted the Swedish movie company to promote it as "the movie that is so funny it was banned in Norway" :p
One of the funniest movies ever! Also, smell/stink is all relative. I was watching a documentary on the Mau Mau rebellion in the 1950s and it was mentioned that the Europeans could smell the body odor of the Mau Mau a couple miles away. But the Mau Mau could also smell the soap and perfume of the Europeans across the same distance and they were equally repulsed by it. It's just what you're used to. ✌🏽👃🏽
Holy Grail is the most hilarious Python film, Life of Brian is the sharpest (that "Loretta" sequence showed how insane the future would end up becoming lol), but Meaning of Life is my personal favorite of the three films as it is the closest to a feature-length episode of Monty Python's Flying Circus, their groundbreaking sketch series. These guys were a comedic force to be reckoned with, no doubt ❤
Hello, I concur about " Loretta " and the modern times discourse draws the same reaction from me to this day. " More than two genders. " I say pish posh to that concept. " Hey! "
@@clutchpedalreturnsprg7710liberal reactors like to think that scene is an affirmation of that craziness, but it's very obviously the complete opposite. If J doesn't feel comfortable talking about it, then I have no problem saying it instead haha
The guy who you say looks f'ed up and smells is the great Terry Gilliam🤣 He did all of of the animations for Python and went on to direct the masterpiece Brazil and several other great films including 12 Monkeys, Time Bandits, The Fisher King and Fear and Loathing in las Vegas.
Monty Python is 5 Brits and 1 American John Cleese - probably the most famous, many acting roles. Graham Chapman - played Brian and King Arthur. Died of cancer in 1989 Terry Jones and Michael Palin - mostly did documentaries after Python Eric Idle - the musical one. Turned Holy Grail into Broadway musical Spamalot. "Always Look on the Bright Side of Life" is one of the most requested songs at funerals worldwide. Terry Gilliam - American, renounced US citizenship to become British. Animated all the cartoons. Has a celebrated career as a director of a dozen interesting movies after monty python.
The Biggus Dickus scene had the Extra's told that if they could keep a straight face they'd get an extra payout and they weren't told what the jokes would be so those reactions were genuine.
Life of Brian is a little more subtle than Holy Grail. Holy Grail is ridiculous, slap-stick style humor, and it's great stuff. Life of Brian is more social commentary and requires the viewer to think about the scenario a little more rather than simply accept the surface level setup. The hilarity of the people at he back not being able to hear the Sermon on the Mount, the idea of singing about the bright side of life while being crucified, an ancient version of suicide terrorists, the splitting of religions into sects for the silliest of reasons (the sandal vs. the gourd), etc, etc. It's really quite brilliant, and it only grows funnier with each viewing. My favorite scene remains the centurion explaining Latin to Brian in the style of an old British Latin teacher. Absolutely HILARIOUS.
If you liked the painting on the wall bit, you GOTTA see the film "Canadian Bacon" - there's a similar scene where an RCMP officer insists that vandals spray-paint their insults in both English and French. Actually, just see Canadian Bacon. It's f'ing HILARIOUS!
@JL Yes its a treasure but many Python fans see the other film as superior as well. (Holy Grail) Was nice to see you get most of the banter and chat these films are famous for.
Officially Monty Python had 4 movies but there's more to it than that And Now for Something Completely Different 1971 - sketches from their tv show reperformed for film Holy Grail 1974 Life of Brian 1979 Live at the Hollywood Bowl 1982 - a live performance outside of LA that was filmed and it's fantastic. The Meaning of Life 1983 - last official movie Parrot Sketch Not Included - 1989 tv special, hosted by Steve Martin, the last time all 6 were together before Chapman's passing. Monty Python Live at the Aspen Comedy Festival 1998 - a stage interview that's hilarious, and the only time all 6 are together for ~16 years. Monty Python Live (Mostly) or One Down Five to Go - 2014 - their fairwell performance as they're all elderly and had some legal bills to pay. They went out with a bang and got some nice retirement checks. Terry Jones then passed in 2020.
A Fish Called Wanda has the Monty Python boys and a very sexy Jamie Lee Curtis. ❤ them so much! Erik the Viking has two of the Pythons in smaller roles but the flavor is definitely them. Thanks for the fun 😊
Good choice on seeing Barbarella. I love that movie. Anyhow, of course life of Brian. Most of montey pythons movies were pretty good. If you like English humor, mostly their show flying circus was pretty good. I watched that for the longest time when I was younger. If you like. Monty, Python Benny Hill is a great English comedian with a good show and lots of beautiful women and I hope you've enjoyed your cookies. I don't know how much you eating so far, but if you're anything like my mom they're probably gone by now and I just added two new babies because supposedly there parents said they didn't have time for them because they work too much and that old b******* anyhow, hopefully you did a reaction to Barbarella. That would be sweet and I'm looking forward to the Porky's one, two and three reactions and hopefully bachelor party house party one, two and three and class act and there's much more I can send you away that you probably either have already been sent and haven't decided or you know what happened. Anyhow, hope you and the fur babies have a good Christmas
Fun fact: in the Roman Empire, learning Latin was one of the requirements to attain citizenship (apart from either being important enough to be offered citizenship, or doing a stint in the military).
Loving your reactions, catching up. Ive just watched your holy grail reaction and now this. I first saw the holy grail when i was about 12, typocal British fair, i was a bit too young for the tv show - monty python's flying circus. Although it was repeated several times by the BBC. George Harrison from the Beatles is responsible for funding this, his name is in the credits and the only reason was that he wanted to see it. What a guy. I always thought holy grail was funnier, but over the years ive come to appreciate the life of brian more. More of a story rsther than a lot of sketches. But still the pithy social commentary. It was banned for a long time. There's an interview with John Cleese and Michael palin definding the film against 2 bishops. According to the documentary of the film/pythons the only time super easy going Palin got mad. Graham Chapman (Brian) was the kead in both as he had the best leading man persona. But john cleese wanted to be Brian. And Chapman , as you saw only had a couple of other roles (biggus diccus and one of the 3 headed knights in holy grail) I can't imagine anyone but Chapman in the kead, the others are amazing character actors. As others have said, theres the meaning of life. Its good but not my fav. Yes, please watch 'time bandits', Jabberwocky and 'a fish called wanda' and Terry Gillian movies the fisher king (robin Williams/jeff bridges) anf 12 monkeys (bruce willis/brad pitt)
"Life's a piece of shit When you look at it Life's a laugh and death's a joke, it's true. You'll see it's all a show. Keep them laughin' as you go. Just remember that the last laugh is on you."
The woman who played Brian's love interest actually became a mayor of a town in Britain. One of her first acts was to unban this movie.
I hope her epic bush was a factor in her successful election 😆

Ever if it is not a full monty.
The tagline for the movie reads, "So Funny, It Was Banned In Norway." Because it was banned in Norway and several European countries as the Catholic Church thought it was an offensive film, mocking other people's religion.
Didn't it get unbanned only because that actress playing Judith ran for office there and her biggest act was to unban it?
Norwegians are all Lutheran
@@S_047I think that was a town in Wales.
"An offensive movie mocking people's religion". Well, it is, isn't it? 😂
I think that tagline was only used in Sweden, since Norway and Sweden like to tease one another.
Just wait until Biggus Dickus hears of this.
Chapman as Biggus is next level hilarious 😂
You beat me here!

John Cleese was actually a Latin teacher back in the day that’s why his character was correcting Brian when he did the graffiti.

Well, there was this one guy called Ezekiel - who was taken on a trip to outer space. Yep...
Why would ban people for having an opinion lol! What a world we live in today.
Well the movie itself was banned when it came out… right-wing cancel culture has a long tradition
I still believe this movie has the best ending in all of cinema. "Life's a piece of shit when you look at it, always look on the bright side of life".
You seemed a little overwhelmed at the Sci-fi scene! 😂

“I’ll bet he smells like the Great Depression”. Line of the movie 🤣
Monty Python the Meaning of Life is my favorite.
Yellowbeard is part Python, part Brooks, and a splash of Cheech and Chong.
I'm pretty sure they added aliens because Star Wars was still relatively new at that point, so sci-fi movies were all the rage.
And it's just an absurd deus ex machina.
The conjugation scene takes me back to my childhood and my teens. Both of my parents were teachers. There was no avoiding it
It’s the only Latin sentence I can correctly conjugate! 🤣
5:51 “How do you get in a fight listening to Jesus”? Dude, do you seriously have to ask that question?
There are some really funny bits in Monty Python's The Meaning of Life. I hope you'll react to that one as well.

Imagine watching this back in English class in '86. Shit was wild!
Btw "smeagol" is the director of Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas!
Sometimes I like to think about the old man in the lion cloth, hopping around, kicking sand, shouting “Jehovah! Jehovah! Jehovah!” 😊
"Loretta" was not an old ass name in around 30 A.D.
When this film came out, space movies were popular, so they stuck the flying saucer in there.

So glad I'm finally off work so I can watch this.

Life of Brian 1979
Live at the Hollywood Bowl 1982 - a live performance outside of LA that was filmed and it's fantastic.
The Meaning of Life 1983 - last official movie
Parrot Sketch Not Included - 1989 tv special, hosted by Steve Martin, the last time all 6 were together before Chapman's passing.
Monty Python Live at the Aspen Comedy Festival 1998 - a stage interview that's hilarious, and the only time all 6 are together for ~16 years.
Monty Python Live (Mostly) or One Down Five to Go - 2014 - their fairwell performance as they're all elderly and had some legal bills to pay. They went out with a bang and got some nice retirement checks. Terry Jones then passed in 2020.
I'm waiting for the murder whistle to find out about.... "Everything you ever wanted to know about sex.... But were to afraid to ask!" By woody allen
They may not do Woody Allen films due to his sordid past.
@@Deathbird_Mitch that's ridiculous. Nobody seems to have a problem showing Harvey Weinstein films... Just sayin
A Fish Called Wanda has the Monty Python boys and a very sexy Jamie Lee Curtis. ❤ them so much!
Erik the Viking has two of the Pythons in smaller roles but the flavor is definitely them.
Thanks for the fun 😊
Monty Python and The Meaning of Life.. one of the Python group made The Adventures of Baron Munchausen
Good choice on seeing Barbarella. I love that movie. Anyhow, of course life of Brian. Most of montey pythons movies were pretty good. If you like English humor, mostly their show flying circus was pretty good. I watched that for the longest time when I was younger. If you like. Monty, Python Benny Hill is a great English comedian with a good show and lots of beautiful women and I hope you've enjoyed your cookies. I don't know how much you eating so far, but if you're anything like my mom they're probably gone by now and I just added two new babies because supposedly there parents said they didn't have time for them because they work too much and that old b******* anyhow, hopefully you did a reaction to Barbarella. That would be sweet and I'm looking forward to the Porky's one, two and three reactions and hopefully bachelor party house party one, two and three and class act and there's much more I can send you away that you probably either have already been sent and haven't decided or you know what happened. Anyhow, hope you and the fur babies have a good Christmas
Soo happy to be here
This is exactly how i always saw Mathew portrayed
Everyone can relax
Fun fact: in the Roman Empire, learning Latin was one of the requirements to attain citizenship (apart from either being important enough to be offered citizenship, or doing a stint in the military).
"Man, how'dyou get in a fight listening to Jesus?"
LOL!
Monty Python's The Meaning of Life
The Meaning of Life is another Monty Python movie
Loving your reactions, catching up. Ive just watched your holy grail reaction and now this.
I first saw the holy grail when i was about 12, typocal British fair, i was a bit too young for the tv show - monty python's flying circus. Although it was repeated several times by the BBC.
George Harrison from the Beatles is responsible for funding this, his name is in the credits and the only reason was that he wanted to see it. What a guy.
I always thought holy grail was funnier, but over the years ive come to appreciate the life of brian more. More of a story rsther than a lot of sketches. But still the pithy social commentary.
It was banned for a long time. There's an interview with John Cleese and Michael palin definding the film against 2 bishops. According to the documentary of the film/pythons the only time super easy going Palin got mad.
Graham Chapman (Brian) was the kead in both as he had the best leading man persona. But john cleese wanted to be Brian. And Chapman , as you saw only had a couple of other roles (biggus diccus and one of the 3 headed knights in holy grail) I can't imagine anyone but Chapman in the kead, the others are amazing character actors.
As others have said, theres the meaning of life. Its good but not my fav.
Yes, please watch 'time bandits', Jabberwocky and 'a fish called wanda' and Terry Gillian movies the fisher king (robin Williams/jeff bridges) anf 12 monkeys (bruce willis/brad pitt)
Clockwise is a cracking film starring John Cleese, very funny British humour
I waited all day to watch this 😂❤
"Life's a piece of shit
When you look at it
Life's a laugh and death's a joke, it's true. You'll see it's all a show.
Keep them laughin' as you go. Just remember that the last laugh is on you."
Jumping on the Fish Called Wanda bandwagon. My favorite movie and funny as hell. The cast is stacked and Kevin Kline is a lunatic genius 😂
In my mind, the guy who got freed instead of Brian came back with his brother and rescued him.
Hope you are having an great and awesome day ❤
You saw Barbarella? That's a reaction I'd love to see. lol My wife and I do a Barbarella/Flash Gordon(1980) double feature every year.
Erik the Viking ....very very funny. ...now u see me😂
