First Time Watching Monty Python and the Holy Grail - The RABBIT PART is the Best I've Seen in Years

[@amandamiquilena]

Hey guys, I just noticed there's someone in the comments impersonating me and telling people they have been selected as a "winner" of something (of what? who knows LMAO). PLEASE DON'T FALL FOR IT. It is not me, i'm not holding any contests, nobody won anything, i don't even have Telegram. Hold on to your MONEYS and don't give it to anybody. Please DON'T send these people anything, just know that i'm NOT giving anything away. I'm gonna post a quick short video so i can reach more of my subscribers with this info. Thank you for reading this :)

Everyone that sees these messages should always Report for "Unwanted Commercial/Spam" so that these messages get blocked from other peoples view, so less chance anyone will fall for whatever the Scam is, or maybe these Scammers are trying to collect personal information ?

Amanda, Monty Python was a six man British comedy group. You may have noticed each actor played multiple rolls in this film. They had a tv show in the 1970s called Monty Python’s Flying Circus. I recommend you check that out. Their next movie after this one was Monty Python’s Life of Brian.

[@izzonj]

Hi Amanda! This movie was made with a tiny budget. So tiny, they couldn't afford to hire horses (except for the one scene where the historian is killed), so they developed the silly idea of having men banging coconuts to sound like horses. The budget also partly explains the use of animated sequence because it was cheaper than adding real effects, but also, the Monty Python show contained many animated sequences. The animator was the only American in the otherwise British group, Terry Gilliam. Gilliam didn't typically appear on scene but he did in this movie, as one of the "horses" and other parts. Gilliam also directed this movie and would go on to direct many wonderful and fantastical movies, including Brazil, The Adventures of Baron Munchausen, Time Bandits, The Fisher King, 12 Monkeys, Tideland, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, The Imaginarium of Dr Parnassus, among others.

[@Ironoclasty]

I've always expected a sequel where they put Arthur on trial but he's found not guilty since he never had a horse. . . . there'e still time . . .

[@henrytjernlund]

Thank you for telling the tale of the Castle Anthrax. I greatly look forward to any sequel that goes into much more detail of that historic place.

[@IceMaverick13]

There's a _lot_ of jokes that go over a lot of people's heads, especially on a first watch. I'll try to explain the couple questions I remember you asking and then I just want to hit a couple of my favorite "little details" jokes: 1. You asked what a swallow was. It's a type of bird. They're usually small to mid-sized, between like 10 and 20 centimeters for the most part, with the average being somewhere around 14 centimeters across all species. Some places call them "martins" instead of swallows, if you know them by that name instead. 2. You asked what the Black Knight meant when he called Arthur "yellow". Yellow as a color has had a long historical link to cowardice, but nobody really knows about the origin or why. A common idiom in English is calling somebody cowardly a "yellow-belly", but nobody really know why that phrase became associated with cowardice either, because the original term had nothing to do with it. So he's just calling him a coward for running off and leaving the fight "unfinished". 3. When we first meet Sir Bedivere as the crowd runs up to present the witch they found, we see him tying a coconut to a swallow with a piece of string and it flying off, which calls back to the argument at the very beginning about how on earth a swallow would have a coconut carried on a line like they suggested. 4. The movie opens with us being told it takes place in England in the 900s. This sets up why Arthur and the knights always shout "Run away!" instead of "Retreat!" when fleeing from battle. "Retreat" wasn't a word that the English had in the year 900, because it's a word of French origin. It wasn't until almost a century later when the Normans under William the Conqueror took over England and brought French language with them that "Retreat" became a word that would be known to the English, so while it sounds goofy and funny on its own, it's also a fun history joke.

[@Nutrient-Gold]

“Yellow” to denote cowardice comes from the colour of a chick. Fairly straight forward.

[@southron_d1349]

It was a pigeon or dove, not a swallow. Thus, if the swallow couldn't carry a coconut, what bird might?

The observation about it being like French comedy is interesting. I know Terry Jones, a member of the Monty Python troupe who co-directed this movie and played Sir Bedevere, was a big Jacques Tati fan. Now I'm going to have to watch more French comedy.

[@scalefree]

several years ago the Pythons took the Camelot song & turned it into a full fledged Broadway musical called Spamalot. it won multiple Tony awards & grossed $175 million.

[@ftumschk]

True, but _Spamalot_ wasn't written by the Python team, only Eric Idle. He wrote the script and lyrics, and co-wrote the music with John Duprez. Whatever, it's a hilarious show, and very true to the spirit of the original. Less well-known, but still funny, is Idle's "oratorio" _(Not) The Messiah,_ which is a spinoff from _The Life of Brian._

Only to be "rescued" by Lancelot! (poor guy) And then him trying to argue with his "rescuers" the whole way out! "Bet you're gay!" "No I'm not." Makes me tear up with laughter every time.

[@zeigbert1743]

[@ftumschk]

Great reaction to a comedy classic! Before anyone says it, the idea for using coconut shells wasn't because they ran out of money and couldn't afford horses - that's just an urban myth that's grown up over the years. In fact, the coconut-clopping was decided in one of the earliest script-writing sessions purely because it was a silly and surreal idea.

[@alanholck7995]

You can visit Doune Castle in Scotland where they filmed all the castle scenes. Gift shop has coconuts you can borrow to take a gallop around the castle.

[@pointystories582]

...But John Cleese refutes it in this video kzbin.info/www/bejne/p2K1hHytmt2db8k at 1:10.

[@ftumschk]

@@pointystories582 Some actors just can't resist an anecdote, and won't let the truth get in the way of a good story. Years, perhaps decades before that John Cleese clip, Terry Jones, director and co-writer of Holy Grail confirmed in a Python "biography" that Michael Palin came up with the idea of clopping coconuts. This happened at an early planning session, but Jones said nothing about not being able to afford horses. That was hardly surprising, as the coconut idea came up long before the script was finalised, and even longer before they knew how much budget they'd have to work with. Besides, few if any of the Pythons knew how to ride horses, so the idea of using real horses seems inherently unlikely... and nowhere near as funny as having servants clopping coconut halves together :)

The credits being at the beginning of the film were the standerd until the mid to late 70's. Star Wars is beleieved to be the leader of the change in practices because Lucas wanted the film to start with audiences being immediately thrown into the action and opening credits would ruin the whole flow of his vision. It was a big reason why he had such a hard time getting it picked up and why he bascically had to self-produce. So you could argue that Lucas Films exits today only becuse of a dispute about when to show the credits.

I used to own all the Python records. I watched the entire series when it aired on PBS late at night (again, during middle school). I got to see them perform live at the Hollywood Bowl when I was in college. I was definitely a superfan. Now years later, some of their stuff holds up, some of it doesn’t.

Are swallows rare in the UK? The swallow, or 'barn swallow', is a common summer visitor, arriving in April and leaving in October. It builds mud and straw nests on ledges, often in farm buildings and outhouses, or under the eaves of houses. Swallows are widespread and common birds of farmland and open pasture near water. How long do swallows stay in the UK? The maximum flight speed is 35 mph. In their wintering areas swallows feed in small flocks, which join together to form roosting flocks of thousands of birds. Swallows arrive in the UK in April and May, returning to their wintering grounds in September and October.

That they got arrested for killing the historian, is only part of the story: 1) the woman who says, "Yes, they're the ones, I'm sure!" is, I believe, the wife of the historian, who runs to his aid when the murder happens. 2) She mis-identifies Arthur and his men as the murderers, for several reasons: A) The man who killed the historian was riding on an ACTUAL HORSE (the only horse we see in the entire film - about 1.5 seconds); neither Arthur nor his men ever had horses (in the film). B) She said, "Yes, they're the ones, I'm sure!" •ONES• (as in: multiple people did this)... but, the person who killed the historian, was acting alone. So, among other things, the film ends with a miscarriage of justice, with the authorities grabbing the wrong people; the real murderer remains at large, and is never identified (the story doesn't care who he is; it's part of the general insanity.)
