The Meaning of Life (1983)
The Meaning of Life, released in 1983, is a British musical comedy film written and directed by Monty Python members Terry Jones and Terry Gilliam. The movie follows the lives of several characters, from the very beginning of life to the very end. While the movie is filled with humorous moments, it also contains some surprisingly explicit sexual moments.
The first sexual moment in the movie comes during the “Every Sperm is Sacred” musical number. The song is about the Catholic Church’s stance on birth control, and it features a large number of children singing and dancing about the importance of having as many children as possible. The song is filled with sexual innuendos, and it culminates with a group of nuns performing a suggestive dance.
The second sexual moment in the movie comes during the “Meaning of Life” song. This song features a group of men singing about the importance of having a good time and enjoying life. The song is filled with sexual references, and it culminates with the men performing a suggestive dance.
The third sexual moment in the movie comes during the “Galaxy Song” sequence. This song features a group of scientists singing about the vastness of the universe. The song is filled with sexual innuendos, and it culminates with the scientists performing a suggestive dance.
The fourth sexual moment in the movie comes during the “Live Organ Transplants” sketch. This sketch features a doctor performing a live organ transplant on a patient. The sketch is filled with sexual innuendos, and it culminates with the doctor performing a suggestive dance.
The Meaning of Life is filled with humorous moments, but it also contains some surprisingly explicit sexual moments. From the “Every Sperm is Sacred” musical number to the “Live Organ Transplants” sketch, the movie contains a number of scenes that are sure to make viewers blush.
One scene set within a sex education class contains some very frank discussions on sexual practices. A teacher discusses sexual intercourse in overt detail, including references to foreplay, erections and clitoral stimulation. The teacher demonstrates his teachings by having sex with his wife in front of his class (his buttocks and her breasts are briefly visible as they undress, however the camera is positioned from their shoulders up for most of the scene).
A man is chased by a horde of topless women. One extended shot of the women is played out in slow motion. Many breasts and part of their buttocks are seen. Some of the topless women in this scene can be spotted in a crowd later in the film.
