We ARE Struggling Together!/Film

Examples of We ARE Struggling Together! in Film include:

• The trope takes its name from this scene in Monty Python's Life of Brian. When the People's Front of Judea runs into the rival Campaign for a Free Galilee in Pilate's mansion and they start fighting, Brian pleads "Brothers, we should be struggling together!" One of the revolutionaries immediately responds, "We are!" Then, when Brian attempts to remind them that they should be fighting "their real enemy", the revolutionaries initially think of another rival movement, the Judean People's Front. The various factions were modeled by the Pythons on British left-wing political groups of the 1970s (the year the movie was released, the left was represented by no less than 15 separate parties, plus more sub-factions within both Labour and the smaller splinter groups).
• Happens with the chickens in Chicken Run.
• This is a major part of The Avengers, exacerbated by Loki's manipulations. It takes the death of a Sacrificial Lion for the team to get down to business.
