Life of Brian/万世魔星

This movie was of great fun, and I can't help laughing from the beginning of it to the end.

To watch this movie, it's better for one to learn some Christian or at least to read the first chapters of the Holy Bible in advance before enjoying it. Of course, better not to watch it if you are a devout religious guy. There are full of black humor inside.

The story of Jesus Christ's birth was totally rewritten in the tone of black humor: there was nothing saint, a fellow named Brian who was born as Jesus and he was the only regular guy in the movie and thus was taken as Messiah; superstitious public who believe they need a god to rescue them but they don't know why they need to rebel Roman's rule; bureaucratic Jewish officials who did care nothing but their copious democratic procedures; stupid stutter Roman officials, etc.

Actually, this is really a mirror of our modern society.
