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. .
(————Dividing line, friends who want to leave this page can directly read the last paragraph!————)
First of all, the scene is set in a dark and cold forest and castle, and a row of empty people imitating riding a horse makes me laugh. It is like a fairy tale or a trick played by children, but it is full of banter. [The opening of the movie showed this at the beginning, and the conversation about the swallows holding the coconut shell, Wuyi turned out to be Arthur's weight on the bridge of death. Arthur’s coup for recruiting warriors is also absurd. Girl=duck=wood=witch’s reasoning. The people called "burn her" below are very nervous, but Arthur is more nervous about "icing on the pen" and recruited a group of knights. , The solicitation is all-inclusive, which also implies the character of the knights.
Sure enough, the Cavaliers did not "disappoint" people. Sir Robin’s bard began to sing “Brave Robin will not be afraid, even if his eyes are dug out, even if his limbs are scattered, even if his ass smashes.” The long string of terrible endings did not bring out Robin. The bravery of the jazz-because you see Robin's panicked expression on the screen, and keep saying "Shut up!"-while the three giants (let's call it so) flee in embarrassment while the bard sings happily " Sir Robin, bravely, withdraw bravely.” Such witty words can be seen everywhere in the movie.
Although the film tells a group of adventurous people, God (guide), and the Holy Grail mission, it leaves the audience with clues of the "big plot". Just when you follow the signs, as expected, you are wrong again-see the arrow on it. Isn’t Sir Lancelot, who the text thinks a sign of the Holy Grail and a hero to save the United States, just a microcosm? And in the end, the castle was the original French castle, but Arthur and his knights went in a big circle, riding a sacred dragon boat by the lake, but only sailing on the knee-length swamp! As far as the sauce is concerned, almost all the speculations of the audience are wrong—the director seems to be watching the audience interestingly behind the camera—you guessed it!
What's more absurd is that the film also has a perspective to bring the audience out of the story: the old man who was raised and killed by the knights, his wife called the police, and finally the police arrested the unintelligible Arthur and shouted at the camera " Stop filming" to end the scene; and the animator had a heart attack that allowed them to escape from the cave.
And the audience who talked about this film also doubted the existing order?
The chaotic nature has a huge impact on the big plot! We don’t need to sum up anything here-in the face of the vast unknown world, weaving our own little net early and constantly confirming "I am right" is what a ridiculous and stupid practice!
