Film night

Every once in a while it’s film night and a ‘gaggle of friends’ congregate together to indulge in the pleasures of entertainment. Tonight was the well know classic Monty Python’s ‘Life of Brian’ staring the old favourites; John Cleese, Eric Idle, Terry Gilliam, Terry Jones, Graham Chapman and Michael Palin. This is a fantastic movie, which seems to be ageless and you can watch over and over again. A very silly adaptation of time in 33 A.D., a time of poverty and chaos and no shortage of religious followings. Brian Cohen is the main character who by no fault of his own becomes the messiah, is persecuted by the Romans and eventually captured by the centurions and crucified. A crazy, mad and totally hilarious movie that will have you reciting phrases for the rest of time. If you are easily offended, then this film is not suitable for you!
