In the film, Monty Python and the Holy Grail, a confabulation took place between a nonsensical King Arthur and a soldier with a keen interest in birds.

They go through a series of interesting quests, from fighting a black knight to getting a cow catapulted at them, while searching for the grail. Monty Python and the Holy Grail can be summed up by this one statement: entertainingly bizarre. Between

Monty Python and the Holy Grail, directed by Terry Gilliam and Terry Jones, tells the story of King Arthur and he and his knight’s quest for the Holy Grail. The writing and directing of the movie shows the problems of society.

There are few films that create as much controversy upon their release as Monty Python’s Life of Brian, a movie in which the timeline is parallel to the life of Jesus. The Life of Brian focusses on Brian, a normal guy whose choice is to live a quiet life, but who the universe has other plans for.

Somehow Brian is mistaken for the messiah and upon his failure to prove otherwise, suffers
