To name just a few of its credentials as a &#8220;banned and blacklisted&#8221; film, its funding was pulled a few days before production was set to begin (George Harrison stepped in to help); several countries (including Ireland and Norway) banned or limited its screening upon release; rabbis and nuns picketed its opening in New York; and <a href=\"http:\/\/archive.usccb.org\/movies\/l\/lifeofbrian1979.shtml\">the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops<\/a> gave the film an &#8220;O&#8221; for Offensive rating, offering the following summation:  <\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Monty Python movie about a hapless fellow named Brian, a contemporary of Jesus, who is mistaken for the Messiah and eventually crucified by the Romans. The nihilistic, anything-for-laughs thrust of director Terry Jones&#8217;s comedy deliberately exploits much that is sacred to Christian and Jewish religious tradition. Especially offensive is the mocking parody of the crucifixion scene. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Yes, there is much to be offended by in <em>Life of Brian<\/em>: it&#8217;s a satire which truly leaves nothing sacred, and that&#8217;s the point. Its sharpest attacks are made on the mobs of worshipers who insist Brian is their messiah, and who turn his every word and action into a literal sign from God; and on left-leaning revolutionary groups which end up competing against each other for the ability to break free from Rome, while conceding that Roman imperialism actually brought quite a few positive elements to their lives. (&#8220;All right, but apart from the sanitation, medicine, education, wine, public order, irrigation, roads, the fresh water system and public health, what have the Romans ever done for us?&#8221;) Not all the humor here will work for all viewers, naturally; I&#8217;m not a fan of the running gag about Pilate&#8217;s lisping, for instance, or amused by the Roman names such as &#8220;Biggus Dickus&#8221; and &#8220;Incontinentia Buttocks&#8221;.
