Always Look on the Bright Side of Life
A surprisingly timely movie review, especially for being 25 years late, of Monty Python's Life of Brian.
Grand mockery, all of it, but the scene that goes in the Movie Metaphysics highlight reel is when the reluctant Brian finally addresses his followers. "You don't need to follow me!," he pleads in exasperation. "You don't need to follow anybody! You've got to think for yourselves! You're all different!"
The crowd responds, "Yes! We're all different!"
And one tiny voice pipes up, "I'm not."
You couldn't monkeywrench group-think better if you tried.
And rarely has it needed monkeywrenching more.
