Brian di Nazareth (1979)

Brian is born in a stable on Christmas, right next to You Know Who. The wise men appear and begin to distribute gifts. The star moves further, so they take it all back and move on. This is how Brian's life goes. The Jews are looking for a release from the Romans, Spiritual and political decay, keep looking for signs and a group decides Brian is the Messiah. He cannot convince them he is not. He joins the Peoples' Front of Judea, one of several dozen separatist groups who actually do nothing, but really hate the Romans. Brian nasce contemporaneamente al Messia, in una capanna vicina e viene visitato per sbaglio dai Re Magi. L'equivoco continuerà nella vita adulta, tra confuse manovre di terroristi antiromani rivali tra loro, fino a quando i suoi compagni del Fronte popolare giudaico lo consegano a Pilato per farne un eroico martire: finirà crocefisso, ancora una volta per un equivoco.
