The six members of Monty Python play the majority of the characters, but there are a few extras, many of which were also crew for the film. The main story is about King Arthur, his knights of the round table, and their quest given to them by God to find the Holy Grail. Many of the scenes were filmed in actual, privately owned castles (such as the scenes of Castle Anthrax and the French castle. Camelot was a plywood model, which is why when King Arthur led them towards Camelot, his servant Patsy says, "It's only a model". Since there wasn't enough money for everyone to ride a horse, they bang coconuts together to make the sound of horse's hooves. This actually became part of the humor of the movie.
Every single scene overflows with hilarity, especially scene 24, which is a smashing scene with some lovely acting. It is also the most quoted film from my parents. "You must cut down the mightiest tree in the forest - with a herring!" There's even some scenes that coincide with the modern world. There's no guessing what will happen next because this movie is so silly. I'm not going to explain any scene because I find them all too funny and cannot choose between them. I'm giving this film a 10/10.
My favorite scene is the end scene. Did anybody ever see that one coming?
ReplyDeleteYes! That ending always gets me!
