      The originator of nonsensical

      When
      you look at the name of "Monkey Python and the Holy Grail", do you also think what the hell is a python? What is the relationship with the Holy Grail? Next, I’ll interpret this "Wonderful Masterpiece" for everyone.

      I don't understand...

      This is a movie that even the film critics did not understand. The Knights of the Round Table, King Arthur, is not very familiar with these, so I went to check it out. Still don't understand what the twenty-four scenes in the movie refer to? The brave Robin chose to escape, and the holy Galahad was almost tempted. Some of the clips in the movie violated the Knights Regulations...but on the whole it was really boring. The plot was as long as a filming... listen. Said it was the earliest...

      Absurd, then what?

      "Monkey Python and the Holy Grail"
      I have not read the legendary stories of King Arthur and his knights, so when watching this film, there is no feeling of the British tradition being subverted, and there is also a lack of before-and-after comparisons, etc. It is inevitable that the analysis is superficial. .

      First of all, the scene is set in a dark and cold forest and castle, and a...

      "Python and the Holy Grail": Big Brother has been spoofing for many years

      The film hasn't started, just the black and white subtitles. Many staff members who have made mistakes have already been resigned. It can be seen that the nonsensical attainments have reached the point of sophistication, which makes the latecomers feel ashamed and sigh. In the beginning, King Arthur of Great Britain led his servants, tapping coconut shells to imitate the sound of horseshoes. King Arthur did a fake horseback ride and started recruiting the Knights of the Round Table everywhere,...

      Monty Python and the Holy Grail

      "Monkey Python and the Holy Grail" is the only "wonderful" movie to enter the top 50 IMDB rankings. This fantasy movie tells the story of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table accepting God’s will to find the Holy Grail. In the process, they have undergone various tests of bravery, holiness, wisdom and loyalty and were guided by wizards. , Go to the Cave of Kanabanog to crack the secret of the Holy Grail.

      Terry Gilliam is so talented! Strong to burst! The two paragraphs of the method of judging the witch and the pseudo-prince are laughing blindly! The various collage animations and the actor's spoof lines are a creative genius! The abrupt ending is also great! The drama I've seen before has completely copied...

      "If she weighs the same as a duck... she's made of wood!" I finally understand what "nonsensical" is all about. The key is that there is order in the chaos and the swallow's stalk is used as a customs clearance password. First-class imagination and logical ability must be echoed before and after. It is necessary to match the props and scenes of the last stream to get high. I seriously doubt that Teletubbies borrowed from this movie and finally added a chicken leg to the painter. It was so good...

      The opening subtitles are so fun, the troughs were all vomited by the actors themselves.. But watching the whole drama for 10 minutes is enough, and there is no nutrition behind it, it's all nonsense. Overall, the plot is somewhat similar to the movie "The Game" of the running...

    Movie plot

    King Arthur ( Graham Chapman ), after accepting the Excalibur of the Fairy in the Lake, began to travel the country looking for his own warrior. After arriving at a castle, the question with a city guard about how the tropical coconut shell got to temperate Britain led to the question of African swallows and European swallows. Eventually they walked around because of entanglement, and then encountered various adventures. , Finally...

    Behind the scenes gags

    Many of King Arthur’s castles were filmed in Dunn’s Castle, and the rooms were re-used after being renovated. The appearance of several castles is made of 10-foot-high plywood, which can be blown down by a gust of wind.
    The first actor to play the black knight was John Clays. After being chopped off by King Arthur, the black knight was replaced by a one-legged actor, a local silversmith.

    Evaluation action

    The grotesque plot and unexpected ending of "The Python and the Holy Grail" are inseparable from the mythological complex of director Terry Gilliam and his personal experience. He is the animation director of the sensational comedy series Monty Python, and Monty Python's specialty is to deconstruct familiar myths with modern consciousness. It is not difficult to explain the interleaving of real events and the influence on the plot of...
