Watch: Holy Flying Circus 2011 123movies, Full Movie Online – In 1979 the Monty Python comedy team return from making their film ‘Monty Python’s Life of Brian’ in Tunisia. Premiered in America the film is pilloried by ultra-right religious groups for its depiction of Christ. In England the Popular Peoples’ Church of St Sophia (whose members include a Tourette’s sufferer who shouts out swear words) find a copy of the script in a dustbin and lobby the British censor for its suppression, leading to many local councils banning its screening. Death threats follow and Michael Palin – “the nicest man in Britain” – has his effigy burned on his front lawn. Finally crazed TV programmer Alan Dick persuades Palin and co-star John Cleese to defend the picture on a late night chat show against the Bishop of Southwark and religious commentator Malcolm Muggeridge. Thanks to Cleese’s reasoning the Pythons are seen to triumph, winning over the Popular Peoples’ Church. A later encounter with God will show how the film’s controversy paved the way for other artistic endeavours which prompted protest. Brilliant characterisations are vitiated by a satirical ‘treatment’ including animated sequences and irritating attempts at surreal wit when a documentary style treatment would have sufficed. Several of the Pythons were hostile to the film, summed up in the floor manager’s comment. “Another fantasy sequence…lame”..
Plot: A fantastical re-imagining of the events of 1979, when Monty Python made Life of Brian and the debate about what is an acceptable subject for comedy was blown wide open.

489th Review: More swear words that a titmouse can launch a moose at……
The BBC has outdone themselves in this wonderful piece about the reception of Life of Brian. Having been taken along with 20 other pupils to see Life by my school chaplain while taking a Religious Studies A level it always has had a special place in my heart. This wonderful reconstruction captures something of the Pythons complete silliness, and the even more complete silliness of those who found Brian offensive.

This is seriously the best tribute film to the Pythons out there, the effort in casting to get it right has paid off, to say they look and act like how and who they’re meant to is a gross understatement – they really do capture something of each of the Flying Circus with marvelous alacrity.

All in all, this is rude, crude, very, very silly in places, and, above all, fall on the floor funny. Quite simply, one of the funnier films I’ve seen recently and for those who like Python in any form this is smart and just what the doctor ordered.

A treat of Pythonic proportions
I was too young to know about the controversy surrounding “The Life Of Brian” when it was first released, but in my adult years I discovered that not everyone felt the same way I did about the film – their loss.

Casting of the actors playing Monty Python cast was just about perfect from a visual point of view. The only issue I had was with the actor portraying Terry Gilliam not being able to fake an American accent effectively.

There are so many shout outs to the way the Flying Circus series was made in this film to make it almost seem like the original cast had made it in the early ’80’s and it had gotten lost somewhere and recently found and broadcast.

The irony of Stephen Fry portraying his particular character is outstanding.

I laughed out loud a lot while watching this “mockudramedy” and I would have given it a 10 star rating if not for the aforementioned bad American accent.
