The film is the first film directed by Terry Gilliam, the director of "Twelve Monkeys" in 1975, just like Christopher Nolan's "Follow" which was shot for US$6,000 in 1998. It is not a big production and there are no big stars. Only concise, clear and unexpected creativity is enough to establish the director's genius status. Maybe the actors are versatile, or maybe to save costs. The six main actors basically played most of the roles in the film, and the castle built of plywood has been repeatedly used many times. Even under such crude and unimaginable conditions, it was impossible to conceal the creative work of the film. It was repeatedly worshipped and imitated by posterity and became the originator of spoofs.
Even though he was banned in the UK due to the boycott of religious organizations, Gilliam's future development of his film industry cannot be stopped. Even let this film linger in IMDB500 for many years. Of course, we shouldn’t ignore the screenwriters in the film, who are also the cleverly absurd spoofs of the two starring souls Graham Chapman and John Kriss. It’s a pity that Graham Chapman, who was gay, died young and left this vulgar world prematurely, leaving posterity with less laughter and thinking, and also lost the subversion of authority and history. Strong arms.
