Monty Python's 'Life of Brian' was a religious comedy film, it focuses on the life of Brian, a man who is mistaken for Jesus Christ as he was born next door to him.
The film contains themes of religious satire that were controversial at the time of its release, drawing accusations of blasphemy and protests from some religious groups. Thirty-nine local authorities in the UK imposed an outright ban on the film. Some countries, including Ireland and Norway, banned its showing, with a few of these bans lasting decades. The film makers used such notoriety to benefit their marketing campaign, with posters stating "So funny it was banned in Norway!".

The film is primarily based upon a mistake, and therefore is not essentially touching a taboo. This film is like mine in that its main theme is religion, although theirs is based on a religious story from the bible and an existing idea, unlike my self created one.

Bruce Almighty: The Movie is a comedy film starring Jim Carrey and Morgan Freeman. Bruce (Carrey) is a down on his luck news reporter who complains to God. God then answers, giving Bruce all the powers of the deity himself.

The film was banned in Egypt and other Islamic countries as it featured the appearance of God as a normal looking man. The film became one of the highest grossing comedies ever, although focuses on God's powers, it became more of film of how Bruce would use them to his own gain and then see the errors of his ways rather than a film based on religion. As there is no visual deity in my film, I think I'll be all right if my film is released in the Islamic states.

'Dogma' is a hypothetical-scenario film revolving around the Catholic Church and Catholic belief, which caused organized protests and much controversy in many countries, delaying release of the film and leading to at least two death threats against Smith, the director. It tells the story of two fallen angels who had resigned their posts in God's heaven. They plan to get back in, by being forgiven, not realising that by doing so they will enter a paradox and undo Creation.

The film was the brain child of Smith and his own personal view of religion and its short comings and unexplained theories. It was the centre of many protests from the Catholic Church, Smith famously participated in one, ironically, and was even interviewed by a news channel. The film caused him to recieve many death threats, an award I am not hoping to recieve for my film.
