Monty Python - Il senso della vita
Ho reperito acquistato il grandioso
Monty Python - Il senso della vita
(Meaning of Life)
Doppio DVD ricco di scene inedite e tagliate nella fase di montaggio, retroscena, interviste.
Il film l'avevo già visto due volte (così come l'indimenticabile Brian di Nazareth) ma ora me lo sono finalmente gustato in lingua originale : ci sono momenti di genio comico allo stato puro.
Il canto dei poveri bambini cattolici irlandesi che vivono nello Yorkshire, mi risuona ancora nelle orecchie a distanza di giorni.
Per me è la più bella scena di musical della storia del cinema
EVERY SPERM IS SACRED
Author: Michael Palin, Terry Jones
Composer: David Howman, Andre Jacquemin
DAD:
There are Jews in the world,
There are Buddists,
There are Hindus and Mormons
and then,
There are those that follow
Mohammad,
but I've never been one of them...
I'm a Roman Catholic,
And have been since before
I was born,
And the one thing they say
about Catholics,
Is they'll take you as soon as
you're warm...
You don't have to be a six footer,
You don't have to have a
great brain,
You don't have to have any
clothes on -
You're a Catholic the moment
Dad came...
Because...
Every sperm is sacred,
Every sperm is great,
If a sperm is wasted,
God gets quite irate.
CHILDREN:
Every sperm is sacred,
Every sperm is great,
If a sperm is wasted,
God gets quite irate.
CHILD:
Let the heathens spill theirs,
On the dusty ground,
God shall make them pay for,
each sperm that can't be found.
CHILDREN:
Every sperm is wanted,
Every sperm is good,
Every sperm is needed,
In your neighbourhood.
MUM:
Hindu, Taoist, Mormon,
Spill theirs just anywhere,
But God loves those who treat their
Semen with more care.
MEN NEIGHBOURS:
Every sperm is sacred,
Every sperm is great,
WOMEN NEIGHBOURS:
If a sperm is wasted,
CHILDREN:
God gets quite irate.
PRIEST:
Every sperm is wanted,
BRIDE AND GROOM:
Every sperm is good,
NANNIES:
Every sperm is needed,
CARDINALS:
In your neighbourhood.
CHILDREN:
Every sperm is useful,
Every sperm is fine.
FUNERAL CORTEGE:
God needs everybody's!
FIRST MOURNER:
Mine!
LADY MOURNER:
And mine!
CORPSE:
And mine!
NUN:
Let the Pagan spill theirs,
O'er mountain, hill and plain.
STATUES:
God shall strike them down for
Each sperm that's spilt in vain.
EVERYBODY:
Every sperm is sacred,
Every sperm is great,
If a sperm is wasted,
God gets quite irate.
Every sperm is wanted,
Every sperm is good,
Every sperm is needed,
In your neighbourhood.
E siccome la satira dei MP non è a senso unico, a seguire un esilarante sketch sui vicini di casa protestanti
