A classic

I have already seen this movie but, since it was a while back and since it was available on Netflix, I was quite eager to check it out again. Well, I was surprised by how little I actually remembered it but I still loved this movie though, even after all these years. I have to admit that, even though I always admired the Monty Python’s work, I actually always struggled with their humor (for example, it took me seriously decades to finally appreciate ‘The Holy Grail’) but this movie was the exception though. Indeed, right away, I really loved this comedy and, for once, I was able to completely connect with the Monty Python’s humor. In fact, in my opinion, I would go as far as saying that it is one of the best comedies ever made. To be honest, after this re-watch, I have to admit that I was not as blown away as before but I still think that the concept was pretty awesome though. Indeed, even though I’m not a religious man, I always thought that religion is a fascinating subject and I have never seen a comedy who managed to tackle this subject so successfully. Basically, there is actually nothing wrong about believing in God or a higher power. However, there is something intrinsically ridiculous about all religions and these guys played around beautifully with this idea in this movie. The other thing that I enjoyed was the way they displayed that the people living when Jesus Christ was around were just people like us, living their lives the best way they could and doing stupid stuff like we all do on a daily basis. Finally, so many jokes were really hilarious. Of course, not all of them were great but most of them were just spot on. Anyway, to conclude, it is a great comedy, a classic, and it is definitely worth a look, especially if you like the genre.
