Brian Brian is feeling fantastic at Perth.
Miss you, mom! Already … So this is my new view. Here we are at the other side of
the world. Bye bye Yorkshire, welcome Perth! All four of us
are soooo tired! Even Lilly is quiet. Tomorrow, dad starts
working at his new firm. Already! Next week, school starts.
New school. New house. New neighbours. Old questions:
will they like me? Will I make friends soon? Is this move to
Australia really a good idea?
Julian added two pictures with Brian.
Never forget … we love you!

8 Watch the excerpt from The Life of Brian and answer the questions.
The film tells the story of Brian Cohen, a young Jewish man who is born on the same day as, and next door to,
Jesus Christ, and is subsequently mistaken for the Messiah.
“He’s not the Messiah, he’s a very naughty boy.” Why does she say this?
To make them go away.
✘ To make them realise her son is not the Messiah: he’s an ordinary, naughty boy. They are following the wrong
one.
To confuse them. Her son is the Messiah, but he doesn’t want other people to know it.
All of the above.
What makes the mother change her mind?

The group admiring her for being his mother.
Nothing, she just wants them to go away.
Her son, he wants to be seen.
✘ The fact that the crowd simply doesn’t want to leave.
None of the above.
What is the message of this Messiah? Do you agree with it?

They’ve got it all wrong, they have to follow someone else.
✘ You’ve got to think for yourselves. We are all different: you can’t copy, you’ve got to work it out for yourself.
They just have to leave him alone.
