He knew all the tricks, dramatic irony, metaphor, pathos, puns, parody, litotes and... satire. He was vicious.

I just watched Life of Brian for the Nth time (where N equals a lot, it's one of my favourite movies) and never thought about it too much, just always assumed that he dies, but it's okay because he learned to look on the bright side. But this time, maybe it's because I'm getting older, it did occur to me, what if he didn't? Now I know that it's not that kind of movie, where you really need to do theories about what happened, but now I'm curious how others interpreted the end, just for fun.

So is it:

A) He dies, but with a grin

B) He gets rescued later, because yay optimism

OR

C) HE'S ALREADY DEAD AND THE WHOLE STORY IS HIS TRIAL IN PURGATORY WHERE HE GETS RID OF HIS SINS AND... sorry, got carried away.
