📽️📅 Life of Brian (1979)

4 Screenshots from the movie "Life of Brian" (1979): First, three elaborately dressed wise men enter a dimly lit stable holding gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh. Second, the wise men stand inside the stable, discussing the identity of a newborn while a modestly dressed woman observes in the background. Third, the wise men question the name of the baby, and a humorous exchange reveals it to be "Brian." Fourth, the wise men bow and worship the baby Brian as the supposed Messiah in an exaggerated manner.
