Monty Python’s Life of Brian (1979)
The iconic comedy group Monty Python fearlessly took on the subject of organized religion in their renowned 1979 film, Life of Brian. This irreverent masterpiece cleverly depicted the story of a baby born next to Jesus in a manger, using satire to poke fun at various aspects of religious institutions. However, in today’s climate, it is highly unlikely that any major studio would dare to tackle such a sensitive topic that challenges organized religion. The film’s audacious approach remains a testament to the bolder comedic landscape of the past.
