Learning about
Monty Python’s film history and the type of humor that was used for the film
Life of Brian was interesting a little bit eye opening. I found it very
interesting to read how one epic movie, Cleopatra, could take down a whole
genre of movies. But every con comes
with a pro and the fall of the epic toga movie gave rise to this new parody
like comedy genre, which I found much more enjoyable then the epic toga movies. One of the main things that I liked about Life of Brian was that the jokes were
not some dumb jokes that sometimes make no sense, but they were smart jokes
that at times made you think and if you knew even a little bit of the history
of the movies that they were making a parody of. The songs from the movie were
incredibly catchy and extremely annoying after a few hors of having them stuck
in my head. No matter what I did I could
not get rid of the song that kept playing over and over in my head. I think
that the group of Monty Python was incredibly smart with the choices that were
made with how to take a dead genre and use it to their advantage. One of the main things that surprised me was
how cartoony the movie looked. With all
of the other epic toga movies, they tried to make it look as realistic as
possible but Monty Python took it to a whole new level, they tried to make it
as realistic as possible that it ended up looking like a cartoon. They then
played on that idea and made it so that it did have cartoons with the alien
space ship scene.
