Life of Brian
Movie • 1979 • Comedy
ReportBrian Cohen is an average young Jewish man, but through a series of ridiculous events, he gains a reputation as the Messiah. When he's not dodging his followers or being scolded by his shrill mother, the hapless Brian has to contend with the pompous Pontius Pilate and acronym-obsessed members of a separatist movement. Rife with Monty Python's signature absurdity, the tale finds Brian's life paralleling Biblical lore, albeit with many more laughs.
This movie contains 32 potentially triggering events.

All religion is gaslighting surely. That's the point of the movie.

It's a very quick moment, but a woman slaps a baby (the baby is off-screen). It's very absurd tho.

The movie cuts away before the actual moment of death, but it's made very clear that it's about to happen.

There are two characters who seem to be disabled in some way, it's supposed to be funny. It's later shown that they are faking their disabilities, so it's likely that the actors aren't disabled.

Nobody makes an incomplete attempt at suicide, but note that "Does someone die by suicide?" is a separate question.

There's a trans character who gets misgendered at first, but her group of friends adapts to the new pronouns quite well.

After a night with Judith where she is shown full frontal, Brian flings open the windows and flashes the entire town of Judea (and us) for perhaps one second.
