The After-Life of Brian

by Julian Doyle

Four hundred years ago, the Monty Python team would have been burnt at the stake for making their hit movie The Life of Brian. Luckily on its release they survived the hostile reception but the film did not, as it was banned in many countries for blasphemy. 

But now, years later the whole controversy will be re-ignited by the most extraordinary research that was stimulated by the film’s infamous ending, where the Pythons sing,. ‘Always look on the Bright side of Life’ while being nailed onto their crosses.

It became obvious to Life of Brian editor Julian Doyle while filming that the crucifixion process does not work. But how can that be when it is reported by every Roman historian past and present that crucifixion was the method of capital punishment used for slaves and rebels? 

The simple answer not only unravelled the true story of the charismatic Jew called Jesus, but also uncovered the monumental secret that has been hinted at by esoteric groups over the centuries, the implications being nothing less than earth shattering.
