    The guy in the crucifixion scene who just mumbles and then wanders away, is the Big Daddy of all British comedy, Spike Miĺigan. Without him, there'd probably be none of the comedy you react to. He was a WW2 vet, and a radio comedy writer in the post war years. A lot of his work is surreal as well as very funny. Try reading his war memoirs, which had me crying with laughter. The epitaph on his grave says it all. "I TOLD YOU IWAS ILL"

      Very strongly suggest you check out the Goon Show, a 1950's radio series, written by Spike Milligan and performed by Spike, Peter Sellers and Harry Secombe, this is what gave the Monty Python Team their inspiration.
      A Good short to get you started would be "What Time is it Eccles?"

      I think one of the best Goon Show episodes is "Six Charlies in search of an Author". As well as being funny, it's also bizarre, as the characters, often protesting loudly, have to do what the man in possession of the typewriter types out for their character..

      I was at uni in Aberystwyth when the ban was lifted and went to see the town premier at the Commodore cinema (in 2006 if I recall correctly). It was brilliant. The whole audience went along with all the iconic lines and at the end, everyone sang along to "Always look on the bright side of life" and everyone stayed until the credits ended. Best cinema experience of my life.

    Judith was played by Sue Jones-Davies. In 2008 she became mayor of Aberystwyth. For the previous 30 years the movie hadn't been shown there because it was believed to be banned. (Actually town councillors just thought it unacceptable to show due to the supposed blasphemy and nudity but didn't actually ban it). When she found out she managed to arrange a charity screening of it for the first time in decades attended by Michael Palin and Terry Jones.

      Ya they knew absolutely nothing about the film except is was made by Monty Python and something, something, Jesus so they immediately kicked off and made tremendous fools out of themselves. One or two of the Python members went on some talk or news show and went head to head with some Church of England dickheads and debated them on the movie that they knew nothing about and completely undressed them. Of course they were too proud to admit they were wrong but anyone watching that had one eye and half an arsehole knew that they had been totally discredited.

The actors didn't know the script before hand and Palin was doing everything to make them laugh most of it was adlibbing on his part. They were were going to be paid anyway they just wanted the reaction. I get it for christ sake.

    • @ftumschk
      @ftumschk 7 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

      @@MrGabb61 Actors are notorious for telling dodgy anecdotes. The scene is tightly camera-scripted, so that the bulky 1970s cameras would be in the right place at the right time; it was therefore imperative that the actors knew what to do, and to do so whenever the camera was on them, especially given the number of tight close-ups.
      It's quite obvious to me that the supporting actors are clearly over-acting the "sucking-in-the-cheeks" and "biting the lip/tongue" to Pilate's not particularly hilarious lines. The actors have to convey an exaggerated impression of increasingly suppressed laughter, because it's necessary to get maximum payoff when they finally act "losing it" and roll around on the floor.
      They must have known that all this was going to happen, and I don't think much, if anything, would have been left to chance. I wouldn't be surprised if the centurions had read the script, and/or rehearsed the scene before the cameras rolled.

      I wish people would stop telling this absolute bullshit, none of this is true and has been debunked many times. Originally the story was "the extras wouldn't be paid" then it was pointed out you cannot see any extras in this scene other than the blurred ones in the background. Then they changed their story to "the actors" which again makes 0 sense when you realize the main soldier in this scene is ESTABLISHED comedy actor (and sadly now disgraced) Chris Langham. It's literally his job to act the scene this way. Seriously a 30 second fact checking exercise would benefit most people greatly as this falsehood is peddled out every time this film is discussed.

      The religion forms & splinters due to the followers’ interpretations.
      The various Judean peoples organisations all have the same aims but spend more time fighting each other that their actual oppressors - as explicitly shown the the scene breaking into the palace.

      Rather more likely a swipe at the multitude of Palestinian groups in the 1970's ( Palestinian Liberation Organization, Fatah, Abu Nidal, Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP), Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine, etc etc ) who often seemed more involved in fighting each other / Jordanian government / Lebanese government than fighting the -Romans- Israel.

      It is also a fairly accurate depiction of how Jewish anti-Roman resistance groups behaved at the time.
      There's a fun song called Bill Bailey (The Ultimate Sectarian), which opens with:
      "Bill Bailey belonged to every radical party that ever came to be,
      Till he finally decided to start his own party so he wouldn't disagree"
      (of which he was the only member)
      And speaking from my own insider experience, it's still true today of many leftist movements.
      Which is reasonable, because all the leftist groups except mine are a bunch of splitters.

    My favourite line of the whole film is the guy who says to Brian at the crucifixion, "I like orders". It's not a line that makes me laugh but is, I think, the most profound line in a comedy with a lot of serious messaging going on. There are plenty of people who just prefer being told what to do rather than think too much or fight against injustice, and if they're told what to do by evil/amoral leaders, they'll do evil/amoral things. Probably because their own lives are hard enough that they don't have the strength/stamina/time to be a rebel. Millions of words have been written about how ordinary people can commit horrible acts, and Python summed it up in three words. "I like orders"

    The initial credits song is a mock of Shirley Bassey who was a very famous singer in the UK at that time, she also sung James Bond's Goldfinger theme tune. This singers lyrics (I unfortunately don't know her name) is amazing and most people miss them as they're too busy watching the title artistry by Terry Gilliam. But the lyrics are hilarious.
