I know I had seen teh beginning of it... but ran out of time to watch the rest before I had church that night.. I seem to recall someone telling me it was wicked and they possibly even said blasphemy.. I was wondering if anyone else had an opinion on this move? I only saw the first part and honestly, it was kinda funny.. but I didnt' see the rest, so I wouldn't know... anybody? (all opinions are welcome) Thank you Crystal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does not attack God, though it does very seriously get in digs against the church which existed at the time of all the grail quests and various cultural "christian practices." It's a parody of robin hood, king arthur, and those types of movies. I personally enjoy the movie, but I've never minded laughing at cultural christian expressions or parodies of our cultural myths.

I think the only movie that the Pythoneers put out that I didn't like was The Meaning of Life, which had a 15 minute long um....how shall I put this delicately.....projectile vomit scene....ewwwwww....

In any case, it's hilarious. Some things are parodies of the Cathiloc church, but nothing extremely offensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The movie is just so corny! Although, it takes a certain kind of humor to enjoy. As for the sacreligious parts - There is a scene where "God" appears to command Arthur and the Knights to seek the Holy Grail. Some may find that offensive. But yet there is a point, I think, to the, "Quit grovelling!" There's a scene of a woman being accused of being a witch. . . . One scene with one of the knights ("the Pure") is a bit risque. ("You must spank us!") And then there is THE GREAT SORCERER Tim. The rabbit scene is hysterical, but a bit bloody. ("I warned you - but would you believe me?! Nooooooooooo!") It's one of those things were the content ought to be offensive, but the presentation just makes it so stupid and rediculous, it's almost making fun of everything that you really can't take it too seriously. "Run away! Run away!" "It's just a flesh wound!" "Sir Robin ran away He bravely ran away When trouble reared its ugly head He bravely tunred his tail and fled Brave, brave, brave Brave Sir Robin!"
