Sull'Autore

John Cleese, October 27, 1939 - John Cleese was born on October 27, 1939 in Weston-Super-Mare, Somerset, England to Reginald Cleese, and insurance salesman, and Muriel Cross. He attended Cambridge University beginning in 1960 and joined the Footlights Club in his second term. In 1963, a Footlights mostra altro production called "A Clump of Plinths" became so popular that the production spawned Cambridge Circus and ran in London's West End. He eventually earned his law degree from Cambridge. In 1964, the show traveled first to New Zealand and then to America for 24 performances on Broadway. By the late 60's, Cleese was established as an actor and a writer. In 1969, the BBC, looking for a new show to fill an empty time slot, coupled Cleese and pal Graham Chapman with three graduates from Oxford, Eric Idle, Terry Jones and Michael Palin, as well as Terry Gilliam to create Monty Python's Flying Circus. The BBC produced 45 episodes which have been run and rerun over 30 years. Flying Circus became a cult classic and spawned yet another television show, "Fawlty Towers" as well as books and feature films such as "Monty Python's Life of Brian" and "Monty Python and the Holy Grail." Cleese then came down with a debilitating flu-like illness which his doctor suggested might be psychosomatic. After working with a therapist, Cleese returned with no signs of the illness and even joined the doctor in writing two books, "Families and How to Survive Them" and "Life and How to Survive It." He went on to create training films for corporations through his company called Video Arts. These videos enabled training to be fun as well as informative. Through all of this, Cleese has demonstrated his ability to perform in all walks of life and has made a name for himself doing what he loves best. (Bowker Author Biography) mostra meno

Brian di Nazareth, film diretto da Terry Jones, è la storia di Brian (Graham Chapman), un uomo nato in una capanna proprio accanto alla grotta in cui è venuto al mondo Gesù. I Magi, che lo scambiano per il bambinello che stanno cercando, donano alla madre (Terry Jones) i regali che hanno portato. Quando poi si accorgono dell’errore che hanno commesso, tornano subito indietro a riprenderseli. Passano trentatré anni e il giudeo Brian ascolta il discorso delle "Beatitudini" tenuto da Gesù ma, essendo troppo lontano, non riesce a capire bene quanto annunciato dal Maestro. Distratto dalle chicchere e dalle liti delle persone intorno a lui, il giovane comincia a pensare di voler dare vita a una rivoluzione sociale. Dopo aver assistito a una lapidazione, Brian entra ancora di più in crisi e, confessandosi con la madre, le rivela di sentirsi estremamente fuori posto. La donna gli spiega che le sue sensazioni hanno ragion d’essere: suo padre, infatti, era un romano.
Nonostante il giovane abbia finalmente scoperto le sue origini, decide di proclamarsi comunque ebreo. Per dimostrarlo a tutti, entra a far parte di un'organizzazione rivoluzionaria anti-imperialista, il "Fronte Popolare di Giudea", nata con l’intento di liberare la Palestina dall’invasione romana. Per metterlo alla prova, i membri del gruppo gli dicono di scrivere la frase "Romani andate a casa" sulla parete dell’edificio del governatore. Il ragazzo, però, viene sorpreso a imbrattare il muro da un legionario che, invece di fermarlo, gli corregge la grammatica latina e lo costringe a riscrivere la stessa frase, corretta, per cento volte. Brian esegue e, appena finito, scappa per non essere preso e punito. Dopo questo gesto coraggioso, se da un lato diventa un idolo agli occhi dei rivoluzionari, dall'altro comincia a essere un sorvegliato speciale per i Romani… (fonte: Coming soon)

Nato contemporaneamente a Gesù in una capanna accanto alla sua grotta, Brian viene subito scambiato dai Re Magi per il Bambino che cercano, e perciò essi offrono i loro doni alla sua petulante madre, ma accortisi subito dell'errore, tornano a riprenderseli. Trentatré anni dopo Brian, giovane giudeo, assiste da lontano al discorso delle "Beatitudini" tenuto da Gesù, ma, sia per la distanza che per le chiacchiere e le liti delle persone vicine, non riesce ad afferrare bene le parole pronunciate dal Maestro e non riesce a comprenderne appieno il significato. Eppure, in Brian cominciano a maturare nuove idee di rivalsa sociale.… (altro)
