To put it simply, the plot is like this. A radio announcer performed some values output to an enthusiastic audience, causing the enthusiastic audience to lose confidence in life, so he picked up a gun and rushed to a bar to kill seven people before committing suicide. After the announcer learned about it, values began to waver, and he was depressed for three years. Later, when the husband of a victim became a madman because of the pain of losing his wife, the madman thought he was sent by God to help him find the Holy Grail, and the announcer laughed. Terry Gilliam’s other film "Monty Python and the Holy Grail" has already been used to find the Holy Grail, but it was used again here.
The madman told a story about a king who was wounded and needed the Holy Grail to heal, but he couldn't find it. The king lived a very depressed life, unable to love or be loved, and felt that life had no meaning. One day a guy walked into the palace and saw that the king was in pain, so he poured a glass of water for the king to drink. After the king drank it, the wound healed, and his life suddenly became radiant again. The king suddenly realized that it was the Holy Grail in his hand, so he was surprised and asked where he got it. The man said, I just poured a glass of water.
The announcer felt that he should be compensated for the madman, gave him some money, and matched him with a MM he had a crush on, hoping to eliminate his sins and obtain spiritual salvation, but it did not work. One day the lunatic was injured and unconscious. The announcer stole the Holy Grail for him, which was actually a broken trophy. At this moment, the lunatic woke up suddenly, and the announcer suddenly felt that his guilt had disappeared. Everyone is happy.
Obviously this is a story about sin and salvation. The announcer gave some money to the lunatic, but failed to get redemption; he helped him chase MM, but he still couldn't be saved; finally, he stole the Holy Grail to save the madman, but he was finally redeemed. Just like the story of the king, the holy grail here is also just a bearer. The simplicity of a madman, the love of his girlfriend and the tolerance of the former boss are all the water in the holy grail. Under the influence of these holy waters, the announcer's mind turned from malicious ridicule to kindly helping others, thus completing a journey of salvation.
But is this the end? Once the evil is eliminated, the evil will never reappear? No, if the root cause of evil cannot be found, evil will come back again. And what is the root of evil? If human nature is good, or born like a whiteboard, where does the initial evil come from? Did Pandora open the box of desire, or did Adam ate a forbidden fruit full of original sin? This question may never be answered, so we have to reincarnate on both sides of the strait.
People are born sinful, but they are everywhere in salvation.
