MONTY PYTHON THE MEANING OF LIFE | *FIRST TIME WATCHING* | REACTION

🌟 Hey everyone! I appreciate all the love and support you've shown me over the years 🥰 Many of you have asked how you can help with my dream of having a small farm/ranch with the goal of helping animals in need. I'm excited to share that I've set up a GoFundMe to help make my dream a reality hopefully a wee bit sooner. If you'd like to contribute, please check out the link below-every little bit helps!

Aaaah Mr Creosote. My favourite part of this movie!!!! I saw this film when it came out in a small theatre with about ten people in it. I laughed so hard at this skit I almost fell out of my chair. No one else laughed. At all. Made me feel special. :D

[@Baribrotzer]

One reviewer described the "Mr. Creosote" sketch as "resembling a medieval morality play on the evils of gluttony." Also: An old friend of mine had a fishtank containing a lionfish. Lionfish only eat live food, so every few days he would put a guppy in. Upon seeing it, the lionfish would freeze motionless - then suddenly, it would be six inches further ahead and the guppy would have vanished. We named the lionfish "Mr. Creosote."

[@NoelleMar]

Omg really? This sounds like my parents lol. I think they were dying of laughter while most were disgusted.

[@seriousissues2012]

Since you like this sort of thing, here’s an interesting anecdote that was related to me by a friend of mine who met Eric Idle. My friend got to be a roadie for a show Eric Idle was doing and at one point, Idle decided to have lunch with all the roadies and he asked them who their favorite Python was and then he’d tell them a story about whoever they chose. Someone said that Terry Jones was their favorite Python and Idle told a story about a time he and Jones went to an orchestra performance together. Apparently, the conductor suddenly fell ill and couldn’t conduct the show, so the staff at the music hall asked if by any chance there was a qualified conductor in the audience. Terry Jones happened to be a qualified conductor and agreed to conduct the show. Funny thing is, by the end of the show, he was completely naked. He did his job conducting the show, but all the while, he was gradually removing his clothes. It was the best orchestra performance Idle had ever attended.

[@speleokeir]

Well if he didn't have a conductors baton with him I suppose he had to improvise and wave something else about instead!

[@robstoll7542]

I believe Terry Jones enjoys performing sans clothes. 😱😳

The protracted prologue at the beginning, with separate credits, and the "Our Feature Presentation" card hearken back to a time when a showing of a feature film would be accompanied not just by previews of coming movies, but perhaps an animated cartoon, a newsreel, or other short subject.

[@DawnMarieX]

Ah thank you so much for watching!

[@choosecarefully408]

The only reason people have a problem with this movie is that they feel it is too different from all the other Python stuff. But then, that means there's a problem with people's _expectations,_ not with the film itself. If you go into a movie with preconceived notions, that's on you, not the movie. Another victim of this was The Muppets, not to be confused with Jim Henson's original The Muppet Show. In The Muppets, they decided to do a "The Office" type show, but with muppets. The idea was actually about six years too late,_ not early, It wasn't perfect, & mixing live humans in relationships with them didn't always work. (Why would anyone _think_ any human would be attracted to Fozzy Bear)? But where it worked, it _really_ worked, & having the muppets deal in real life relationships was handled brilliantly in most cases. Too many people said "these aren't _MY_ Muppets." True that. But that's just it. They went in there with blinders on & chose _NOT_ to see what was, for what reason? Preconceived notions are useless.

[@crescentfreshbret]

I saw Holy Grail when I was 12, but I didn’t see The Meaning of Life until I was 18. I think I saw them both at the perfect time. I still haven’t seen Life of Brian, and I don’t know why.

Love "Spinal Tap" - a friend of mine recommended it to me without noting that it was satire.. and being out of work, I watched it alone.. and it took me about 15-20 minutes to "get it" -- sad to admit, I was mocked by my husband over that for years -- should never have admitted it! :)

[@bhurzumii4315]

@@GinMae To be fair, it's not immediately obvious that it's satire. Sure, the director says a few "off" things during his intro but they could be mistaken for the comments of a deeply "creative" person or be attributed to cultural differences.

The hospital scene always cracked me up….until I started working in healthcare then I really appreciated the truth in the scene, especially the administrator walking into an OR without proper PPE on. Typical. They’re all clueless. Don’t forget to watch one of Monty Pythons lesser known gems called “Time Bandits” as well as their concert film “Live at the Hollywood Bowl”. Remember, “the meaning of life is what each person thinks it is and what I think doesn’t amount to a hill of beans.” - George Burns as God in the movie “Oh God”.

[@HellfireCignus]

You should give the documentary on Netflix a shot, "Monty Python's Almost the Truth: The Lawyer's Cut". It shows a lot of behind the scenes and stories about how things were made and such. For example, they didn't all really get along that well. They wrote in small groups and this helped them stay together longer.

All the fish would like to thank you for watching this movie. This is my favorite Monty Python movie. They took all the stops out, so as to offend everyone at one time or another. It did drag on a bit in places, such as the "Every Sperm is Sacred" song. Yeah, how were all those little kids singing that? Did you not see the skit towards the end with the naked women running in the sports helmets? I can't believe there's a censored version floating around the internet with that scene taken out. The Mr. Creosote throwing up in the restaurant and then blowing up was the gross part you were being warned about, but I found that funny ("It's just a wafer thin mint."). There is a lot of philosophy in it about the meaning of life (other than people need to wear more hats), so you'll need to watch it again, and maybe again. I must have watching it 40 or 50 times back in the 90s. I haven't been the same since.

Anybody who tells you to skip ANY Python production has lost their bloody mind. It's not all gold, but it's full of treasures. Had you not watched you would have missed so much. This movie is a lot like their TV show. Loose thread through the whole thing. Just silly skits. Love it. "The Crimson Permanent Assurance" is Terry Gilliam taking a small idea and going overboard to make his own movie. Almost. They just gave it it's own space and left him alone. Which is his preferred method of working. That's why it's separated with a credits sequence. How about "Yellowbeard" next? It's very crude and many don't like it but I adore it. The six Python's have done so many projects together and apart and every one is worth a watch. At least once. Still hoping to see you do the whole TV series. I'm sure you would love it.

At the premier of Life of Brian, as thy were being hailed as conquering heroes, a producer approached John Cleese and said to him, "You know, if you boys made a third film right away, you could retire and never have to work again." That idea really appealed to Cleese at the time and he conveyed this idea to the rest of the team. That they should strike while the iron is hot and make a ton of money and then really be free to do what they want. The result of that was this movie.

What makes Meaning of Life different from Holy Grail and Life of Brian is that it follows the sketch formula much like in Flying Circus while Grail and Brian had their own distinct storylines. Here are a couple of fun facts. The actress who plays the teacher's wife is best known for playing Magenta in The Rocky Horror Picture Show. The scene with Mr Creosote was actually filmed in a warehouse with no air conditioning. The fake vomit was also dairy based and went bad during filming so due to the set having no air conditioning, the extras ended up sick from how bad the smell was and you can see some of them actually vomiting after Mr Creosote explodes.
