Brian’s life sucks.

Expressen stated that Life of Brian would be the next cultural project to awaken. The Monty Python classic from 1979 is going to be staged in London, and is considered offensive and therefore should be washed.

One of the scenes removed is Brian’s crucifixion. However, “Always Look on the Bright Side of Life” will remain.

Another scene removed is when Stan’s character wants to become a woman. His friends are not considered supportive enough when he wants to become LGBTQ. He says in the movie:

– Every man has the right to have children if he so desires, but then his friends question him.

Reg, John Cleese’s character, replies:

– But you can’t have children. You don’t have a uterus!

Stan then grieves and replies that he is being oppressed. However, a compromise was agreed upon. Now if Stan can’t become a mother, their fighter group will still fight for Stan right to become a mother.

Several actors criticized the scene and now it should be removed.

John Cleese commented:

– Here you have something that has never been complained about in 40 years, and I’ve heard about it, and now all of a sudden we can’t do it because it would offend people. What do we do with it? But I think a lot of things actually foreshadowed, in a strange way, what would happen later, he says of the scene.

Life of Brian, Ett herrans liv is its Swedish title, and has been considered one of the best comedies of all time. Ranked by Channel 4, The Guardian and The 50 Greatest Comedies among others. In 1999, it was chosen by the British Film Institute as the 28th best British film of all time.

The film created a long string of classic quotes such as: “He’s not the Messiah, he’s a very naughty boy!” “,” What did the Romans do for us? and “I’m Brian and My Wife”.

Blasphemy charges

Although the film was very light in its criticism of Christianity, it was criticized from day one when it was released. He had difficulty obtaining permission to show it in cinemas and on television channels such as the BBC, and ITV refused to show it for a long time. The reason is that he considered it offensive to Christians.

In the United Kingdom, the film was banned from showing in several municipalities. The film was banned from showing in Ireland for the first eight years after its release and in Norway for a year. Sweden took the fight more lightly and here instead the film was marketed as “the movie so funny it was banned outright in Norway”.

The crucifixion and pre-crucifixion scenes were severely criticized – they were considered to belittle the suffering of Jesus on the cross. Among other things, one person tells Brian that crucifixion isn’t dangerous once you’re up, while another says it would be worse if you were stabbed.

The recent British ban on the film was lifted quite late. In Torbay, viewings were only permitted in 2008 and in the Welsh town of Aberystwyth only in 2009.

The film has been described as a critique of left-wing groups, by taking the tumultuous type of conflict of the time into a historical setting and making it visible in a way. It also highlights what is sometimes called “the narcissism of small differences”, about how small sectarian groups fight each other over almost the smallest interval.
