The movie The Life of Brain begins with Jesus and Brian being born on the same night in the same area. This opening to the movie starts off the similar relation Jesus’s Gospel stories and Brian’s life have in common. The stories intersect a few times between Brian being crucified and Brian being called“Messiah”, the two stories show two different angels on the same journey. Brian is not liked by the Roman’s as Jesus was and even though his father was a Roman, he is not accepted.
The film shows the representation of the time period through the clothing, setting, separation of Jew’s and Roman’s, and other indicators. The Jewish people in the movie show their self-interest when they ignore Brian’s crucifixion notice. In the scene the followers of God do not think about acting quickly, instead they continued to work on a plan to stop the Romans. This shows the men’s factionalism and narrow mindedness. When Brian dying and then his discipleship structured followers coming to him as if to rescue, but instead praise Brian’s martyrdom. The Jewish and Roman relations are seen as something well emphasized. The Jewish community seems to show more power than the Roman guards and people; when Pilot and his solider speak, they have a lisp and do not understand why all the Jewish people are laughing at them. Brian also fools the Roman soldiers into thinking he is painting over his bash at the Roman’s, “Romans go home”, but he really he is making them look foolish by writing the saying everywhere.
This movie creates a Christ-like man, Brian, who falls into the path of being worshiped as Jesus was. This is caused by some of his words and also his deeds. The Jewish people think that he is there to save them and be the person they solely follow. When Brian comes out onto his balcony the Jewish people think he is going to tell them great things, and with this mind set they obey him and say they do not have to follow him because Brian said they should not. This figure makes a Christ figure look like someone anyone could be and someone who becomes Christ from his words and deeds, not background.
