Comment on Python itself

Rating: Null/10 (7 July 2001)

This film certainlyhas the best narrative quality of any of the Python films and the writing, as always, is brilliant. It is a very funny film in a dark satiric way. All the Pythons, except for Terry Gilliam are very educated men (Oxford and Cambridge) and it shows in their writing. No one has mentioned and I think that it could be the case, that some of the satiric swipes in this film are directed at fans of Python themselves. Think about it, how people who like Python insist on repeating quotes and recite or sing along with Python. The scene where Briantells the crowd to be individuals and the crowd repeats back in unison may be directed at their own fans urging them to get a life.
