There are very many references to medieval literature. Is this worthy of addition in this article? And, further more, are there any other links between this film and classical literature?- Toquinha 19:34, 9 February 2006 (UTC) Given the fact that the Python troupe are all Oxford and Cambridge educated (outside of Terry Gilliam), one of my old English profs drew a parallel to Edmund Spencer's The Faery Queen, which depicts a character getting his limbs hacked off one by one. Totally out of question, that's for sure! Stop these vile accusations, now!- 217.199.54.130 13:01, 9 December 2005 (UTC)
Definately more inspired by the actual tales of the knights of the round table rather than an obscure italian movie.
By the way, there's an difference Here there's not just a poor knight, but a whole troupe of rich knights fighting the french and a bridge of Death. Satirization of religion and medieval times may be a usual subject among actors.and the movie would've been lashed if this was discovered. It's too far before their actin' time, and too close to their time to pass unnoticed.although rippin' is common among communi.eh, comic's, it's no new idea they're comin' up with.
They then set in a "quest" to find this fief, suffering all the vicissitudes of medieval life - plague, religious fundamentalism, etc. The whole idea is also quite similar, for in this movie a poor knight is convinced by some peasants to claim a fief, whose grant documents were stolen (By them) from a noble. Monty Python and Philosophy follows the same hit format as the other titles in this popular series and explains all the philosophical concepts discussed in laymen’s terms.I am pretty much convinced that the "Lancelot wedding assault" and "The Bridge" scenes were inspired by similar ones from a 1968 Italian movie, "L'Armata Brancaleone" by Mario Monicelli. Fifteen experts in topics like mythology, Buddhism, feminism, logic, ethics, and the philosophy of science bring their expertise to bear on Python movies such as Monty Python’s Life of Brian and Flying Circus mainstays such as the Argument Clinic, the Dead Parrot Sketch, and, of course, the Bruces, the Pythons’ demented, song-filled vision of an Australian philosophy department.
Monty Python and Philosophy extends that recognition into the world of philosophy. The Pythons John Cleese, Graham Chapman, Eric Idle, Terry Jones, Michael Palin, and Terry Gilliam are increasingly recognized and honored for their creativity and enduring influence in the worlds of comedy and film. From the 1970s cult TV show, Monty Python’s Flying Circus, to the current hit musical Spamalot, the Monty Python comedy troupe has been at the center of popular culture and entertainment.
