Advantages: Best Monty Python film ever
Disadvantages: DVD include absolutely no extra features

This was the first Monty Python movie I ever saw, years after my dad told me about the hilarious scene involving Mr. Creosote, and it remains my favourite Monty Python film. However, the DVD is the worst Monty Python DVD I have. ~~~ The Film ~~~ This review is mainly concentrated on the DVD, but I will include this section specifically on the film. The film itself is about life, so goes through stages of life, presented in parts until the meaning ...
...It's also the last Monty Python film, which is definitely unfortunate as they were only getting better and better. I think the main reason this film is my favourite is the fact it does not stay on one person or general topic. It feels quite random as it moves through life, from birth to life in school, and onwards through things such as the 'autumn years' and finally death and a visit to the afterlife. The cast, as usual, are naturally funny, adding ... Read review

Advantages: The way it looks
Disadvantages: Complex plot

There are at least 5 versions of Brazil. The European version. The US Version. The Final Cut. The "Love Conquers All" Cut. The DVD cut. All of these are different and I've seen all except the US version. The "Love Conquers All" version is disowned by Gilliam and was edited by a guy called Steinburg to give a happy ending. Gilliams cuts are the dark fantasy world, keeping Sam Lowry (Jonathon Pryce) as the hero who is stuck in a world of red tape, ...
...has many big names and recognizable faces. The writing is amazing coming from Gilliam, Tom Stoppard and Charles McKeown. The best cut of the film is the non-happy ending of a tortured Sam Lowry who has turned into himself and escaped into his own catatonia where his fantasy world exists within his mind. Any version of this is worth a viewing. Even the sappy "Love Conquers All" version. ... Read review

Advantages: British humour at its best
Disadvantages: none

...Meaning Of life. The Monty Python team, are up to their usual anarchic antics in this look at life from beginning to end, in a fashion that only Monty Python can. Not so much a movie as The Life of Brian, or The Holy Grail, its more of a series of hilarious sketches, portraying people in everyday life situations, from the moments of conception, (The Sacred Sperm Sketch) is on of the best of the entire film, to a final meeting with the Grim Reaper, ...
...this hilarious last full length Monty Python movie. Laughs abound from the usual team of:- John Cleese, Terry Gilliam, Eric Idle, Terry Jones, Michael Palin and Graham Chapman . All in all a real good piece of British humour at its best. Running time 86 minutes. I've only hired the DVD so this is a film only review. But a quick look on its availability over the internet, shows it is readily available from many outlets at varied prices ... Read review

While at the same time, an evil genius is watching them, leading them to him, luring them with the belief of an almighty powerful object that will be waiting for them at their destination. All of this is so he can get hold of the map to allow him to take over the world and change it to his evil ways. Unfortunately the DVD that I have does not have any special features; therefore I am unable to comment ... Read review
