Monty Python and the Holy Grail - 1 star (Terrible)

Here, some 33 years later, and some people still giggles when I recall the scene of King Arthur systematically cut all the branches of the Black Knight in the surreal comedy "Monty Python and the Holy Grail."

Make no mistake, this British import by the crew of Monty Python's Flying Circus which originally aired on PBS in the U.S. not going away anytime soon. There is an excess of admiration for this kind of humor for a select audience, mostly young people who are drunk and tired.

Monty Python and the Holy Grail of King Arthur travels the countryside in search of knights who sit at their table. Arthur and his knights Trip horse but pretend they do and have their servants bang coconuts to imitate the sound of hooves of a horse. Before the film began the budget was cut, thus eliminating the money to rent horses.

Finally, God appears in a cloud and tells them to find the Holy Grail. A search experience strange characters and find real threats, including a killer rabbit, the men feared, a giant beast with three heads and a black legend. Also need to find a way to cross Bridge of Death. All these events provide comic moments in your journey.

Finally, King Arthur and Sir Bedevere are pushed to the castle is the Holy Grail, but was refused entry by a French soldier who laughs with stupid comments. The film ends abruptly when a group of policemen in the 1970s to stop a battle scene to arrest Bedevere climate Arthur and the murder of Frank, the historian "Celebrity" who was killed by a man, while Frank told a scene from the film.

The members of Monty Python John Cleese cast included, who played at least six characters, including the Black Knight, Eric Idle (7 characters), Terry Gilliam (6), Terry Jones (5) and Michael Palin (12, most characters). The writing credits went to all those mentioned Graham Chapman, among others.

Terry Gilliam started as director of the film, but became exasperated with the actors, and those with him at a time Gilliam took a nap under a tree and Terry Jones took command. Graham Chapman was actually the fight against his addiction to alcohol during the shoot. Crossing the Bridge of Death in the film, delirium tremens Chapman a side effect of his alcoholism, and the deputy director had to fill in for him. Chapman was to die a miserable death of 48 of cancer and cord throat.

John Cleese in the role of Tim the Enchanter, actually risked his life standing on the summit saw the beginning of the film. The windy conditions have threatened to throw him off his perch. He was afraid of death, but went ahead due to low budget film and time constraints, which means that all you do a lot of things to become famous.

Monty Python and the Holy Grail certainly has its fans. Funds obtained by the album by Pink Floyd "The Dark Side Of The Moon "has been used to finance the film. The band members were fans like that show to end the recording session, just to see Monty Python's Flying Circus in 1969.

There was virtually no price for this film, laughs at those who found it hilarious beyond belief. Premiere voted Monty Python and the Holy Grail as one of "50 best comedies of all time" in 2006.

My view of the film has changed considerably over the years. The first time you saw 33 years ago, I had my share of laughs. Looking back, the other night, he seemed much less fun and fun only. He was a better person to see again. Maybe age has been see too many comedies as much better "Waking Ned Devine.
