Furthermore, once Brian addresses them, he also finds that he is unable to change their minds. His followers are completely committed to their belief in Brian's divinity. They immediately seize upon everything he says and does as points of doctrine. The hapless Brian is unable to escape his unwanted 'disciples'; even his mother's house is surrounded by an enormous, enraptured crowd. They fling their afflicted bodies at him, demanding miracle cures and divine secrets.
After sneaking out the back, Brian is then finally captured and scheduled to be crucified. Meanwhile, yet another huge crowd has assembled outside the palace. Pontius Pilate together with the visiting Biggus Dickus tries to quell the feeling of revolution by granting them the choice of one person to be pardoned. The crowd, however, shouts out names containing the letter "r", mocking Pilate's rhotacistic speech impediment.
Eventually, Judith appears in the crowd and calls for the release of Brian, which the crowd echoes, since the name also contains an "r". Pilate agrees to "welease Bwian".

His order is eventually relayed to the guards, but in a scene that parodies the climax of the film Spartacus , various crucified people all claim to be "Brian of Nazareth" and the wrong man is released. Various other opportunities for a reprieve for Brian are denied as, one by one, his "allies" including Judith step forward to explain why they are leaving the "noble freedom fighter" hanging in the hot sun, while his mother expresses regret for having raised him at all.
Hope is renewed when a crack suicide squad from the "Judean People's Front" not to be confused with the People's Front of Judea come charging towards the Romans, but rather than fighting to release Brian or the other prisoners, they commit mass suicide as a political protest. Condemned to a slow and painful death, Brian finds his spirits lifted by his fellow sufferers, who break into song with " Always Look on the Bright Side of Life.
Several characters remained unnamed during the film but do have names that are used in the soundtrack album track listing and elsewhere.
There is no mention in the film of the fact that Eric Idle's ever-cheerful joker is called 'Mr Cheeky', or that the Roman guard played by Michael Palin is named 'Nisus Wettus'. Spike Milligan plays a prophet, ignored because his acolytes are chasing after Brian. By coincidence he was visiting his old World War II battlefields in Tunisia where the film was being made.
The Pythons were alerted to this one morning and he was promptly included in the scene that just happened to be being filmed. He disappeared again in the afternoon before he could be included in any of the close-up or publicity shots for the film. There are various stories about the origins of Life of Brian. However, they shared a distrust of organised religion, and, after witnessing the critically acclaimed Holy Grail ' s enormous financial turnover, confirming an appetite among the fans for more cinematic endeavours, they began to seriously consider a film lampooning the New Testament era in the same way that Holy Grail had lampooned Arthurian legend.
All they needed was an idea for a plot.
Eric Idle and Terry Gilliam, while promoting Holy Grail in Amsterdam , had come up with a sketch in which Jesus' cross is falling apart because of the idiotic carpenters who built it and he angrily tells them how to do it correctly. However, after an early brainstorming stage, and despite being non-believers, they agreed that Jesus was "definitely a good guy" and found nothing to mock in his actual teachings: The script was started in December , with a first draft completed by mid The final pre-production draft was ready in January , following "a concentrated two-week writing and water-skiing period in Barbados ".
Harrison put up the money for it as he "wanted to see the movie" — later described by Terry Jones as the "world's most expensive cinema ticket. Terry Gilliam later said, "They pulled out on the Thursday. The crew was supposed to be leaving on the Saturday. It was because they read the script Papadopoulos, "owner of the Mount", who briefly shakes hands with Brian in a crowd scene at 1: His one word of dialogue a cheery but out of place Scouse "'ullo" had to be dubbed in later.

Terry Jones was solely responsible for directing, having amicably agreed with Gilliam who co-directed Holy Grail that Jones' approach to film-making was better suited for Python's general performing style. Gilliam again contributed two animated sequences one being the opening credits and took charge of set design. However, this did not put an absolute end to their feuding. On the DVD commentary, Gilliam expresses pride in one set in particular, the main hall of Pilate's fortress , which had been designed so that it looked like an ancient synagogue that the Romans had converted by dumping their structural artifacts such as marble floors and columns on top.
He reveals his consternation at Jones for not paying enough attention to it in the cinematography. Gilliam also worked on the matte paintings, useful in particular for the very first shot of the three wise men against a star-scape and in giving the illusion of the whole of the outside of the fortress being covered in graffiti.
Perhaps the most significant contribution from Gilliam was the scene in which Brian accidentally leaps off a high building and lands inside a starship about to engage in an interstellar war. This was done "in camera" using a hand-built model starship and miniature pyrotechnics, likely influenced by the then recently released Star Wars.
The film was shot on location in Monastir, Tunisia , which allowed the production to reuse sets from Franco Zeffirelli 's Jesus of Nazareth Many locals were employed as extras on Life of Brian. Director Jones noted, "They were all very knowing because they'd all worked for Franco Zeffirelli on Jesus of Nazareth , so I had these elderly Tunisians telling me, 'Well, Mr Zeffirelli wouldn't have done it like that, you know. Over the next few months Life of Brian was re-edited and re-screened a number of times for different preview audiences, losing a number of entire filmed sequences.
A number of scenes were cut during the editing process. Five deleted scenes , a total of 13 minutes, including the controversial "Otto", were first made available in on the Criterion Collection Laserdisc. However, a number of them of varying quality were shown the following year on the Paramount Comedy Channel in the UK; it has not been disclosed how these scenes were saved or where they came from; possibly the source was the Criterion laserdisc. The shepherds' scene has badly distorted sound, and the kidnap scene has poor colour quality. The most controversial cuts were the scenes involving Otto, initially a recurring character, who had a thin Adolf Hitler moustache and spoke with a German accent, shouting accusations of "racial impurity" at people whose conceptions were similar to Brian's Roman centurion rape of native Judean women , and other Nazi phrases.
The logo of the Judean People's Front, designed by Terry Gilliam, [18] was a Star of David with a small line added to each point so it resembled a swastika , most familiar in the West as the symbol of the anti-Semitic Nazi movement. The rest of this faction also all had the same thin moustaches, and wore a spike on their helmets, similar to those on Imperial German helmets. The official reason for the cutting was that Otto's dialogue slowed down the narrative. However, Gilliam, writing in The Pythons Autobiography by The Pythons , said he thought it should have stayed, saying "Listen, we've alienated the Christians, let's get the Jews now".
Idle himself was said to have been uncomfortable with the character; "It's essentially a pretty savage attack on rabid Zionism, suggesting it's rather akin to Nazism, which is a bit strong to take, but certainly a point of view". The only scene with Otto that remains in the film is during the crucifixion sequence.
Otto arrives with his "crack suicide squad", sending the Roman soldiers fleeing in terror. Instead of doing anything useful, they "attack" by committing mass suicide in front of the cross "Zat showed 'em, huh? Terry Jones once mentioned that the only reason this excerpt was not cut too was due to continuity reasons, as their dead bodies were very prominently placed throughout the rest of the scene. He acknowledged that some of the humour of this sole remaining contribution was lost through the earlier edits, but felt they were necessary to the overall pacing.
Otto's scenes, and those with Pilate's wife, were cut from the film after the script had gone to the publishers, and so they can be found in the published version of the script. You stupid, bird-brained, flat-headed Cleese approved of this editing as he felt the reaction to the four-letter word would "get in the way of the comedy". An early listing of the sequence of sketches reprinted in Monty Python: The Case Against by Robert Hewison reveals that the film was to have begun with a set of sketches at an English public school.
The idea of a violent rugby match between school masters and small boys was filmed in Monty Python's The Meaning of Life An album was also released by Monty Python in in conjunction with the film. The album opens with a brief rendition of " Hava Nagila " on Scottish bagpipes. A CD version was released in Its popularity became truly evident in during the Falklands War when sailors aboard the destroyer HMS Sheffield , severely damaged in an Argentinean Exocet missile attack on 4 May, started singing it while awaiting rescue.
One of its more famous renditions was by the dignitaries of Manchester 's bid to host the Olympic Games , just after they were awarded to Sydney. Idle later performed the song as part of the Summer Olympics closing ceremony.

The song is a staple at Iron Maiden concerts, where the recording is played after the final encore. It consisted mostly of stock travelogue footage and featured arch comments from Cleese. For instance, a shot of Bulgarian girls in ceremonial dresses was accompanied by the comment "Hard to believe, isn't it, that these simple happy folk are dedicated to the destruction of Western Civilisation as we know it!
