Monty Python in Aberystwyth Page #4

enjoys the show,

it seems the film still has

the power to outrage, offend,

but most of all, make us laugh

at ourselves.

That's probably why we still love

The Life Of Brian more than ever.

For those involved, why do they

think it's still relevant today?

The worst thing would be

if the film had been ignored

and people'd said, "It's a nice

comedy film." That's it.

It was talked about and there were

things worth talking about in it.

You hope your comedy is going to be

relevant and it obviously is.

Really what it's about is taking

responsibility for your own actions.

And that is what most people duck.

They'd rather,

"You tell me what to do"

because it means

you have to be grown up.

And I think being grown up

for most people is hard.

They don't want it. They'd rather

their parents, religion or society

to tell them what to do.

And the message to me is that

we all have to take responsibility.

It's great seeing Sue again.

That's been terrific.

And I just want to see

this whole change in Aberystwyth

that will happen after the film

has been released.

People will be saying,

"Can we say more?"

They'll be wanting to see

The Holy Grail next!

# And always look on

the bright side of life...

It's going to be dangerous on the

streets of Aberystwyth afterwards.

There's going to be

such loose living.

We're going to be locked up

in our rooms. Yes.

# For life is quite absurd

and death's the final word

# You must always face the curtain

with a bow

# Forget about your sin

Give the audience a grin

Enjoy it,

it's your last chance...
