Brilliance

Rating: 10/10 (8 May 2010)

Where to begin...Like Elvis and the Beatles, this film set the precedence for comedy in so many ways. Y'know, in some ways, it may have been ahead of its time (which is a comment toward the casts comedic brilliance). I say this because not a heck of a lot of movies are funny anymore. Anyway, back to the flick at hand... It takes vast intelligence to intermix silliness and intellect, the way Monty Python has. You watch the thing, know that it's ridiculous, but at the same time understand how much intelligence it took to pull it off. Some of the jokes are so deep, you need to cross reference an encyclopedia to get them. Besides that, their parody acting is unmatched. Completely believable - which is, of course what makes it so funny. Thanks Monty Python!
