Monty
Python’s 1979 box office hit comedy “Life of Brian” was often said to be the
funniest film of all time. Set in the Roman occupation of Judea at the time of
Christ, one
scene depicts four members of
the People’s Front of Judea, who are opposed to the Roman occupation.
In
the scene, Stan says “I want to be a woman”, and “from now on, I want you all
to call me Loretta”. He says that it’s because he wants to have babies,
explaining that “it's every man's right to have babies if he wants them”.
Reg
explains “you haven’t got a womb”, but the others support Stan’s right to have
babies, as it is "it is symbolic of our struggle against oppression”.
Judith has a solution: that they agree that though Stan can’t have babies, he must have the right to have babies.
