In 1963, "Tom Jones" won the Oscar for Best Picture for his slanting and avant-garde personality. It was a shot to prevent the acceptance of old-fashioned British comedies: this kind of funny way of chattering is very suspicious of obsessive-compulsive disorder. Before he finished speaking, he jumped to another space. No wonder this country that is good at making silly jokes will produce sci-fi comedies like "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy". The earth can no longer satisfy their spoof category. History, religion, political power, people, heroes, and animals are all played by them. Turn around to tease the aliens.
"Mondy Peden and the Holy Grail" is well-known as a nonsensical comedy ranked in the top 50 of IMDB. Of course, I checked the latest ranking and it is 93. This is still a place that cannot be underestimated in the vast sea of films. , You must know that the extremely appealing "Rocky Horror Show" did not rank in the top 250. Knowledge changes destiny and even changes the destiny of most people. There are six people in the Monty Python group, either from Oxford or Cambridge. They formed an ace comedy group in the 1960s. The nonsensical comedy became popular all over the world in the 1970s. Most of the budget comes from the fundraising of fans. After the release, it has not surprisingly refreshed the three views of people in several eras. Even now when all kinds of comedy styles are in full bloom, and nonsensical forms are spewing to climax and even decline, the madness and absurd unity of knowledge and action of the pioneers is still the brightest star in the night sky.
King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table exist in the history of the Middle Ages, half mythology and half history. Together with the misty legend of the Holy Grail, they have been praised by poets to this day. They are mixed with too many fantasies of the loyal ministers of Mingjun by the working people living in dire straits. If there is illusion, there will be falsehood. Since everyone likes false things, just let the rumor of consolidating the regime with righteousness become stubborn love.
Expressing gods in the form of animation is also a very good way of ridicule. Most people like to use hearing to satisfy their beliefs and support. This kind of illusory thing turns into an animation and jumps on the screen. It is said that the drama is the most funny. Perhaps everyone’s blood is full of suspicion and rebellious cells, but they are ashamed to point out because they don’t know much, or they’re tired of thinking about things that can’t make money because of their busy lives. The magic of fate lies in some persistence. The fool of dreams is often the winner of life.
The shadowy rule of the Middle Ages can be regarded as the past and the present. The brainwashing of religion and the brutal rule of the feudal dynasty made the working people inevitable. Many terrible punishments stemmed from the ignorance of those hundreds of years. The patient waits to die and so on. The film shows the backwardness and horror of that era in the form of comedy, and the memorabilia is the chilling history of cannibalism.
How do you know that a witch can be burned to death?
Because wood can be burned to death.
So witch = wood.
Wood can float on water
So witches can float on water
Ducks can also float on water
So the weight of the witch and duck should be equal
If the weight of the two is equal after weighing, it is a witch
One shot makes the two equal
The dialogue between King Arthur and the common people can be described as the essence of the whole film. It deeply mocks the "sovereign power" in feudal thought, and satirizes the fragile foundation of the power and the arrogance of the powers in each era. Of course, the ignorance and indulgence of the common people are also inevitable. The absurd world constitutes one of the objects.
Farmer 1: How did you become the king? By exploiting the working people and persisting in practicing outdated imperialism, we can maintain the economic and social differences in our society.
King Arthur: Hello, madam, I am Arthur, the King of Britons.
Farmer 2: I didn't know we had a king, I thought we were an autonomous group.
Farmer 1: Stop joking with yourself, you live under a dictatorship. A self-sufficient dictatorship is a working class...
Farmer 2: You talked about social hierarchy again.
Farmer 1: I told you that we are a trade union organization. Every week someone takes turns to be the chief officer. Only a certain percentage of votes can be passed, more than two-thirds...
King Arthur: Shut up! I ordered no more!
Farmer 1: Order? Who does he think he is?
King Arthur: I am your king!
Farmer 1: I didn't choose you to be the king.
King Arthur: You don't need to elect a king!
Farmer 1: How did you become the king?
King Arthur: The goddess of the lake, wearing a holy and dazzling brocade, raised the holy sword high in the water, symbolizing that I was blessed by God. I am Arthur, the one holding the holy sword. This is how I became a king.
Farmer 1: Listen to me, weird women lie in the pond and distribute swords. This is not the basis for the government to rely on. The executives of the highest power are elected by the masses, not through funny water rituals. You can't become the highest authority executor just because a wet bitch throws you a sword.
King Arthur: Shut up!
Farmer 1: I mean, if I say that I am the emperor, it is because a wet woman gave me a scimitar, they will drive me away.
King Arthur: Shut up!
Farmer 1: Now we see the tyranny inherent in this system! Help! I am oppressed!
