Published on Jun 16, 2011 The Meaning of Life movie clips: BUY THE MOVIE: Don't miss the HOTTEST NEW TRAILERS: CLIP DESCRIPTION: Monsieur Creosote (Terry Jones) underestimates his stomach when his waiter (John Cleese) offers him a parting mint. FILM DESCRIPTION: The Meaning of Life is without a doubt the most tasteless of the Monty Python feature films; it also happens to be one of the funniest.

Life's questions are "answered" in a series of outrageous vignettes, beginning with a pre-credits sequence at a staid London insurance company which transforms before our eyes into a pirate ship. One of our favorite bits involve the National Health doctors who try to claim a healthy liver from a still-living donor, pointing out that there's nothing in his contract preventing this. And of course, there's the scene with the world's most voracious glutton, who brings the art of vomiting to new heights before his spectacular demise. Be warned: though hilarious, this may be the grossest bit of comedy filmmaking ever conceived (there aren't enough words in the world to describe it in detail!). Loyal Pythonites Graham Chapman, John Cleese, Terry Gilliam, Eric Idle, Terry Jones and Michael Palin star in The Meaning of Life and share writing responsibilities, while Jones is in the director's chair this time out.

SUBSCRIBE TO OUR MOVIE CHANNELS: Monty Python's Meaning of Life Multi-Media Script Part 3 MRS. BROWN: What do you, uh,-- what do you do with them all, anyway? ERIC: They all go to saving lives, madam. MRS. BROWN: Mmm. That's what he used to say. 'It's all for the good of the country' he used to say. MR. BROWN: [screaming] MRS. BROWN: Do you think it's all for the good of the country? MR. BROWN: [screaming] MAN: Hm? MRS. BROWN: Do you think it's all for the good of the country? MAN: Well, I wouldn't know about that, madam. We're just, uh, doing our jobs, you know. MR. BROWN: [screaming] MRS. BROWN: You're not... doctors, then? MR. BROWN: [screaming] MAN: Oh, eh,-- I thought she'd never ask.

ERIC: You know it. MR. BROWN: [screaming] MAN: Uhh, you do realise, uh, he has to be, uh,... well, dead,... by the terms of the card, uh, before he donates his liver. MRS. BROWN: Well, I told him that, but he never listens to me. Silly man! MR. BROWN: [screaming] MAN: Only I was wondering, ehh,... well, you know, what you was thinking of doing after that. I mean, [sniff] will you stay on your own,... or is there, uh,... well, someone else, sort of, uh,... on the horizon? MRS. BROWN: I'm too old for that sort of thing. I'm past my prime. MAN: Not at all. You're a very attractive woman. MRS. BROWN: Well, I'm certainly not thinking of getting hitched up again. MAN: Sure? MAN: Can we have your liver, then? MRS. BROWN: Oh. No, I'd be... scared. MAN: All right. [snap] I'll tell you what. Look. Listen to this.

[music] MAN IN PINK: Whenever life gets you down, Mrs. Brown, And things seem hard or tough, [clunk] And people are stupid, obnoxious, or daft, And you feel that you've had quite enough, [boom] Just remember that you're standing on a planet that's evolving And revolving at nine hundred miles an hour, That's orbiting at nineteen miles a second, so it's reckoned, A sun that is the source of all our power. The sun and you and me and all the stars that we can see Are moving at a million miles a day In an outer spiral arm, at forty thousand miles an hour, Of the galaxy we call the 'Milky Way'. Our galaxy itself contains a hundred billion stars. It's a hundred thousand light years side to side. It bulges in the middle, sixteen thousand light years thick, But out by us, it's just three thousand light years wide. We're thirty thousand light years from galactic central point. We go 'round every two hundred million years, And our galaxy is only one of millions of billions In this amazing and expanding universe.

[boom] The universe itself keeps on expanding and expanding In all of the directions it can whizz As fast as it can go, at the speed of light, you know, Twelve million miles a minute, and that's the fastest speed there is. So remember, when you're feeling very small and insecure, How amazingly unlikely is your birth, And pray that there's intelligent life somewhere up in space, 'Cause there's bugger all down here on Earth. [clunk] MRS. BROWN: [sigh] Makes you feel so, sort of, insignificant, doesn't it? MAN: Yeah. Yeah. [sniff] Can we have your liver, then? MRS. BROWN: Yeah. All right. You talked me into it. MAN: Eric! [clap] [music] CHAIRMAN: ...Which brings us once again to the urgent realisation of just how much there is still left to own. Item six on the agenda: the meaning of life. Now, uh, Harry, you've had some thoughts on this. HARRY: That's right.

Yeah, I've had a team working on this over the past few weeks, and, uh, what we've come up with can be reduced to two fundamental concepts. One: people are not wearing enough hats. Two: matter is energy. In the universe, there are many energy fields which we cannot normally perceive. Some energies have a spiritual source which act upon a person's soul. However, this soul does not exist ab initio, as orthodox Christianity teaches. It has to be brought into existence by a process of guided self-observation. However, this is rarely achieved, owing to man's unique ability to be distracted from spiritual matters by everyday trivia. [pause] BERT: What was that about hats, again? HARRY: Oh, uh, people aren't wearing enough. CHAIRMAN: Is this true? EDMUND: Certainly. Hat sales have increased, but not pari passu, as our research initially-- BERT: But when you say 'enough', enough for what purpose? GUNTHER: Can I just ask, with reference to your second point, when you say souls don't develop because people become distracted,... [rumble] ...has anyone noticed that building there before? RANDOM: Ohh.

MAITRE D: Uh, Gaston! A bucket for monsieur. There you are, monsieur. [goosh] Merci, Gaston. MR. CREOSOTE: I haven't finished. MAITRE D: Oh! Pardon. Gaston! A thousand pardons, monsieur. MR. CREOSOTE: Uhh. [goosh] MAITRE D: Now, zis afternoon, we have monsieur's favourite: ze jugged hare. Ze hare is very high, and ze sauce is very rich with truffles, anchovies, Grand Marnier, bacon, and cream. Thank you, Gaston. MR. CREOSOTE: There's still more. MAITRE D: Oh! Allow me. A new bucket for monsieur,...[goosh] ...and ze cleaning woman,... and maintenant. Would monsieur care for an aperitif, or would he prefer to order straight away? [goosh] MR. CREOSOTE: Oh. MAITRE D: Uh, today we have, uh, for appetizers: Excuse me. Mhmm.

Uh, moules marinieres, pate de foie gras, beluga caviar, eggs Benedictine, tart de poireaux-- that's leek tart,-- frogs' legs amandine, or oeufs de caille Richard Shepherd-- c'est a dire, little quails' eggs on a bed of pureed mushroom. It's very delicate. Very subtle. MR. CREOSOTE: I'll have the lot. MR. CREOSOTE: Yeah,... with the eggs on top. MAITRE D: But of course, avec les oeufs frites. MR. CREOSOTE: Yeah, and don't skimp on the pate. MAITRE D: Oh, monsieur, I assure you, just because it is mixed up wis all ze other things, we would not dream of giving you less than ze full amount. In fact, I will personally make sure you have a double helping. Maintenant quelque chose a boire. Something to drink, monsieur? MR. CREOSOTE: Yeah, I'll have six bottles of Chateau Latour Forty-five... MAITRE D: Forty-five. MR. CREOSOTE: ...and a double Jeroboam of champagne.

MAITRE D: Bon, and the usual brown ales? MR. CREOSOTE: Yeah. No, wait a minute. I think I can only manage six crates today. MAITRE D: [tut tut tut tut] I hope monsieur was not overdoing it last night. MR. CREOSOTE: Shut up! MAITRE D: D'accord. Ah! Ze new bucket and ze cleaning woman. [goosh goosh goosh goosh] Monsieur, is there something wrong with the food? GUEST #4: No, the food was excellent. MAITRE D: Perhaps you're not... happy with the service? GUEST #4: No, no. No complaints. GUEST #4'S WIFE: It's just that we have to go. I'm having rather a heavy period. GUEST #3: Hmm. GUEST #3'S WIFE: Mm mm. GUEST #4: And... we... have... a... train to catch. MAITRE D: Ah. GUEST #4'S WIFE: Oh. Yes. Yes, of course. We have a train to catch, and I don't want to start bleeding all over the seats.

Ha, hm hm hm. MAITRE D: Madam? GUEST #4: Perhaps we should be going. GUEST #4'S WIFE: Oh. MAITRE D: Oh! Very well, monsieur. Thank you so much. So nice to see you, and I hope very much we will see you again very soon. Au revoir, monsieur. [clunk] Oh, dear. I have trodden in monsieur's bucket. GUESTS: [mumbling] MAITRE D: Another bucket for monsieur,... [goosh] ...and perhaps a hose. M-hm. MAX: [retch] MAX'S WIFE: Oh, Max. Really! GUEST #2: [hiccup] Part VI B: The Meaning of Life ANNOUNCER: The Meaning of Life: Part Six B: The Meaning of Life. MAITRE D: M-hm-hmm. You know, Maria, I sometimes wonder if we'll ever discover the meaning of it all working in a place like this. MARIA: Oh, I've worked in worse places, philosophically speaking. MAITRE D: Really, Maria? MARIA: Yes.

I used to work in the Academie Francaise, but it didn't do me any good at all, A-- and I once worked in the library in the Prado in Madrid, but it didn't teach me nothing, I recall. And the Library of Congress you'd have thought would hold some key, But it didn't, and neither did the Bodleian Library. In the British Museum I hoped to find some clue. I worked there from nine till six, read every volume through, But it didn't teach me nothing about life's mystery. I just kept getting older, and it got more difficult to see, Till, eventually, me eyes went and me arthritis got bad, And so now I'm cleaning up in here, but I can't be really sad, 'Cause, you see, I feel that life's a game. You sometimes win or lose, And though I may be down right now, at least I don't work for Jews. MAITRE D: [choking] [clunk] I'm so sorry. I-- I had no idea we had a-- a racist working here. I-- I-- I-- I apologise most sincerely. I mean, well, w-- W-- where are you going?

Know what? I can explain, uh,-- Ehh, quel dommage. GASTON: As for me, huh, if you want to know what I think, [sniff] I'll show you something. Come with me. MAITRE D: Ah! I was saying that-- Uh, allo? GASTON: Come on. MAITRE D: Ah, allo? Allo? GASTON: This way. Come on. Don't be shy. Mind the stairs, all right? I think this will help explain. Come along. Come along. Over here. Come on. Come on. [screeeech] [beeeeeep] This way. [beeeep] [honk] [screeech] Come on. This way. Stay by me, uh? [music] Nearly there, now. You see that? That's where I was born. You know, one day, my-- my mother, she put me on her knee and she said to me, 'Gaston, my son, the world is a beautiful place. You must go into it and...

love everyone, try to make everyone happy, and bring peace and contentment everywhere you go,' and so, I became a waiter. Well, it's-- it's not much of a philosophy, I know,... but, well,... fuck you. I can live my own life in my own way if I want to. Fuck off. VOICE: [cough cough] GEOFFREY: Yes? [pause] Is it about the hedge? [pause] Look. I am awfully sorry, but-- GRIM REAPER: I am the Grim Reaper. GEOFFREY: Who? GRIM REAPER: The Grim Reaper. GEOFFREY: Yes, I see. GRIM REAPER: I am death. GEOFFREY: Yes, well, the thing is, we've got some people from America for dinner tonight, and-- ANGELA: Who is it, darling? GEOFFREY: It's a 'Mr. Death' or something. He's come about the reaping? I don't think we need any at the moment. ANGELA: Hello. Well, don't leave him hanging around outside, darling. Ask him in.

GEOFFREY: Darling, I don't think it's quite the moment. ANGELA: Do come in. Come along in. Come and have a drink. Do. Come on. GUESTS: [mumbling] ANGELA: It's one of the little men from the village. GUESTS: [mumbling] ANGELA: Uh, do come in. GUESTS: [mumbling] DEBBIE: Well, isn't that extraordinary? We were just talking about death only five minutes ago. ANGELA: Yes, we were. HOWARD: Mmm. Mm. ANGELA: You know, whether death is really the end. DEBBIE: As my husband, uh, Howard, here, feels, or whether there is-- and one so hates to use words like 'soul' or 'spirit', but-- JEREMY: But what other words can one use? GEOFFREY: E-- exactly. GRIM REAPER: You do not understand. DEBBIE: Ah, no. Obviously not. HOWARD: Let me just tell you something, Mr. Death.

GRIM REAPER: You do n-- HOWARD: Just one moment. I'd like to express, on behalf of everybody here, what a... really unique experience this is. JEREMY: Hear, hear. ANGELA: Yes, we're so delighted, uh, that you dropped in, Mr. Death. HOWARD: Can I just finish, please? DEBBIE: Mr. Death, is there an after-life? HOWARD: Dear, if you could just wait, please, a moment,-- ANGELA: Are you sure you wouldn't like some sherry? DEBBIE: [mumbling] HOWARD: Angela. Angela, I'd like to just say this at this time, if I could, please. Really. GRIM REAPER: Be quiet! Hark. Hark. Those church bells ring. It's Christmas in Heaven. The snow falls from the sky, But it's nice and warm, and everyone Looks smart and wears a tie. It's Christmas in Heaven. There's great films on TV: 'The Sound of Music' twice an hour And 'Jaws' One, Two, and Three.

[clunk] How we made Monty Python's The Meaning of Life | Film | The Guardian How we made How we made Monty Python's The Meaning of Life Michael Palin and Terry Jones recall the hilarity on the set of their 1983 classic – and reveal what Mr Creosote's vomit was made of 'John couldn't keep a straight face when doing the "waffa-thin mint" line' … Terry Jones and John Cleese in Monty Python's The Meaning of Life (1983). Photograph: Allstar/Cinetext/Sportsphoto Monday 30 September 2013 12.35 EDT First published on Monday 30 September 2013 12.35 EDT Close Michael Palin, actor Having done The Holy Grail and Life of Brian , we found ourselves with a much bigger budget for The Meaning of Life. This meant we could spend an entire week on things like the sketch with Mr Creosote [the monstrously fat diner]. The sheer amount of minestrone used in the vomiting sequence was only possible because we were with Universal. That part was filmed at Seymour leisure centre in Paddington.

On the morning after the final scene, in which Mr Creosote explodes and thousands of gallons of vomit get hurled against the walls, the room was all cleaned up immaculately – and, within 12 hours, two people were married in there. I wonder if they ever knew what had happened hours before. The sketches drew on what we were feeling at the time. The Miracle of Birth came from Graham Chapman , who was actually a doctor, noticing that hospitals were changing, getting lots and lots of machinery ("More apparatus please, nurse!"). This gave surgeons more and more time to just chat as a patient lay there, in our case a woman having a baby. But the most ghastly sketch and one I still find terribly funny was The Liver Donor . Someone comes to a man's door to take his liver and he says: "No, no, I'm not dead." And he's told: "Oooh, it doesn't say that on the form." That harked back to Python's love of bureacracy: you know, people coming round from the council, 10 of them, with different bits of paper.

'Meaning of Life had the best soundtrack' … Eric Idle prepares to sing The Galaxy Song. Photograph: Rex Features The songs in the Python TV shows were always a little bit chirpy, done with our resident choir of about three people. So it was just nice to be able to do things properly and record them well. I think the soundtrack to The Meaning of Life is the best of all the Python movies. With Every Sperm Is Sacred , which we turned into a lavish song and dance routine, we had to be careful with all the kids. Certain things had to be dubbed later. In the film, you hear Terry [Jones] telling the children: "He has to put a little rubber thing on the end of his cock." What he actually said was: "A little rubber thing on the end of his sock." The kids were either totally mystified – or they understood perfectly what was really going on. Also, although it looked as if it was happening in a classroom full of pupils, the bit in Sex Education where John [Cleese] is "hard at work on the desk", had to be done without any children present at all. Indeed, I'd have liked it to be filmed without any grownups present, too!

But there we go – we were contractually obliged to be in there. I found it hard to keep a straight face in the scene where I was the back end of a tiger – which was OK, since you couldn't see my face most of the time. Terry [Gilliam] had to play this extraordinary character: a black African in a skin that peeled off to reveal a white man underneath. Poor Terry: it was a hot day and he just couldn't get this skin off. All we could hear was a little voice inside saying: "Oh fuck, oh shit. I can't get outta here." I thought there was something weird, wonderful and psychologically profound about this – a white man who couldn't get out of a black man's skin. The writing process was quite cumbersome. An awful lot of material didn't get used. Holy Grail had a structure, a loose one: the search for the grail. Same with Life of Brian. With this, it wasn't so clear. In the end, we just said: "Well, what the heck.

We have got lots of good material, let's give it the loosest structure, which will be the meaning of life." Since we'd more money and weren't doing it for the BBC, we were more daring. It's a darker film than the others. There were a lot of gasps, as we had expected. But some scenes, like Every Sperm and Creosote, are unforgettable. Wonderfully surreal … (from left) Terry Jones, Terry Gilliam, Michael Palin, John Cleese, Eric Idle and Graham Chapman. Photograph: Allstar/Cinetext/Sportsphoto Terry Jones, actor and director Douglas Adams phoned me up and said he'd just written a book called The Meaning of Liff . I said: "Oh no! Our film is going to be called The Meaning of Life." That's why in the titles, there's a tombstone saying: "The Meaning of Liff." And then some lightning turns the final F into an E. It took me three hours to put the makeup on for Mr Creosote. John was bursting with laughter when he was doing the "waffa-thin mint" line. He just couldn't keep a straight face. The vomit was compressed soup, actually.

We had canisters of it with lumps in – and a catapult to fling it. Everybody wanted some chucked at them. Although it became a food fight, we could only throw it at those extras who had not-so-decent costumes on. We filmed Holy Grail in Scotland and Life of Brian in Tunisia, and we were all on set every day. But The Meaning of Life was more disparate: only the people who were acting that day would come in. So we didn't have the combined opinion of everybody. I missed that: the full burden of responsibility fell on me. The film was banned in Ireland, just like Life of Brian had been. And another film I made, Personal Services, was banned there, too. They've loosened up a bit now, you know.

Monty Python's The Meaning of Life (1983) - Films - FILMS - Monty Python's The Meaning of Life (1983) "Monty Python's The Meaning of Life" Director: Terry Jones Original Theatrical Release Date: 31 March 1983 (U.S.), 22 April 1983 (U.K.) Original Running Time: 1:47 Director's Cut: 1:56 The group's last feature film with Graham Chapman, "The Meaning of Life", is a sketch film tied together as a study of the perilousness and absurdity of human existence – a description that doesn’t do justice to how funny it is. There is blood, sex and violence, and some of the most surreal passages of any Python work, on the topics of birth, death, and all the bothersome business of living in-between. It comes across visually as a mix of Federico Fellini, Ingmar Bergman and Busby Berkeley – with projectile vomiting! But the film's innate message is simple and sweet: We are all miracles of birth, so why not be nice to all the other miracles of birth out there.

Synopsis The presentation opens with a short film, “The Crimson Permanent Assurance”, directed by Terry Gilliam, that tells the saga of accountants who take up arms as pirates and sail their small office building on the high seas of international finance, laying waste to multinational corporations. The main feature is divided into seven sections, each dramatizing a particular topic of one's life: "The Miracle of Birth" examines the technological and financial apparatus constructed around a baby's delivery, followed by "Every Sperm Is Sacred," a song-and-dance ode to the Catholic Church's proscription of contraception. "Growth and Learning" details the teaching regimens of English schoolboys, from religion to sex. "Fighting Each Other" casts the audience into trench warfare, and the social niceties that endure even under fire. In "Middle Age," American tourists at a fine dining establishment have absolutely nothing to say. "Live Organ Transplants" is just that (and if you need a reason to keep your organ donor card after all the blood spilled, there is Eric Idle's "Galaxy Song," which marvels at the universe and our place in it). In "The Autumn Years," a barely-walking example of human gluttony, Mr.

Creosote (Terry Jones), proceeds to eat his way through an entire French restaurant, keeping very little down in the process. "Death," in the form of the Grim Reaper (John Cleese), finally arrives at a dinner party, taking the guests away to Paradise, where none other than Tony Bennett (Graham Chapman) and buxom chorus girls serenade one and all with the spectacle of "Christmas in Heaven." The film's main linking device is the most Pythonic element of the film: A group of fish (played by the six Pythons) repeatedly muse about the meaning of life as they witness fellow fish being served up on plates in a restaurant. They also at times call out the filmmakers for not getting to the point ("Not much happening at the moment, is there?"). The Making of Producer John Goldstone sold the concept to Universal Pictures just on the basis of a one-page synopsis, and song lyrics written by Eric Idle.

("There's everything in this movie, everything that fits, from the meaning of life in the Universe, to girls with great big tits.") The film's stand-out production number was "Every Sperm Is Scared." The song, written by Terry Jones and Michael Palin and choreographed by Arlene Phillips ("Annie"), features street urchins, nuns, stilt-walkers and others dancing and singing in the streets of Yorkshire. "We weren't deliberately parodying anything," said Jones. "It was in a very 'Oliver!' style, although I'm not sure I've ever seen 'Oliver!' But I know what it's like!" The most unforgettable scene, however, was the Mr. Creosote sketch, which brought projectile vomiting to new heights of cinematic artistry. At one point the crowd in the restaurant is sprayed with the vomit concoction, filled with vegetables and Russian salad dressing: "The catapult held like 20 or 30 gallons," said Jones, "and hit everything spot-on.

But for that we had to select the extras with the cheap costumes!" In addition to his animated bits, such as a family of falling leaves, Gilliam contributed the 15-minute "The Crimson Permanent Assurance," in which he was able to test out miniature special effects techniques that would be invaluable later in shooting "Brazil." "It was originally a cartoon," Terry Gilliam said of his short film. "By then I was so terribly keen to escape from animation. I wanted to convince them that I could make my own little film. I had my own sound stage, my own everything." "We kept going to his studio next door," recalled Jones, "and he had these huge sets compared to what we had." The segment was initially planned to be part of the main film, but grew longer and longer, and according to Gilliam, didn’t match the rhythm of the rest of "Meaning of Life." "I cut it shorter and shorter and the others kept saying, 'No, it's still too long.'" So the entire segment became a separate film. "And then it became a better idea," said Gilliam. "Because not only is it a short subject before the film, but then it attacks the main film later on. . . .

Still the great thing with Python was that we were able to do this, to have that kind of freedom to just pull things apart completely." Reception "The Meaning of Life" captured the Jury Prize at the 1983 Cannes Film Festival.

John Cleese, Graham Chapman, Terry Jones, Eric Idle, Terry Gilliam and Michael Palin have returned to explain The Meaning of Life.

By A Customer on August 15, 1999 Format: VHS Tape Seeing this movie for the first time when it came out back in 1982, I remember telling my friend, "This is the coolest movie ever!" Coming back to it, I can proudly say my feelings for it have not diminished one iota.Its detractors say, "It's disgusting!" Yes, it is. An impossibly fat man explodes in a miasma of viscera and puke. But if you take note of the personality of the character in question, you could look at it as the Pythonian equivalent of Karma.It's oppnents scream, "It's filthy". Bingo. A stuffy schoolmaster and his wife demonstrate coitus for a bored classroom of schoolboys during sex-education class. During the lesson, the teacher admonishes a student to pay attention. "After all, this is for your benefit," he chides.

A man so cut off from his own emotions, that not even sex interests him on a personal level.Its nay-sayers chant, "It's blasphemous!" You betcha. In a production reminiscent of the ones in 'Oliver', a Catholic family, apparently numbering in the hundreds, sings "Every Sperm Is Sacred". Maybe so, but why is papa so anxious to sell them all off for medical experiments?Fans say, "It's clever". I defy anyone to find a more clever song in a movie than "The Universe Song", a hummable Cole-Porterish ditty containing a pocketful of useful factoids about this wonderful material plane which we call home.Python disciples say, "It rings true". It does for me. That's why I laugh so hard.The usual Python targets are all here, all to illustrate a very valuable point. I think it's something like: Life is really short, the world is a confusing mess, hypocrites and scoundrels are plentiful, stupidity is more plentiful than any other substance in the universe.
