Life of Brian

Movie • 1979 • Comedy  

Report
Brian 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 34 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.

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.
