| Monty Python's The Meaning of Life | comment |
Monty Python's The Meaning of Life arrived in 1983 as the last hurrah of the complete six-man troupe, directed by Terry Jones. For the rest of the 1980’s, the Pythons grew apart, but it wasn’t until the death of Graham Chapman in 1989 that they officially went their separate ways. The film marked the troupe's return to sketch-based comedy after two films that followed a linear plot. The film's sketches are loosely connected and arranged by the stages of human life.The movie opens with the unrelatednote (or so it seems) Terry Gilliam-directed short film The Crimson Permanent Assurance, the tale of accountant pirates who take on Wall Street. From there, we move on to the film proper, a series of sketches purporting to examine the Meaning of Life, arranged from "The Miracle of Birth" to "Death". But even this structure allows for stops examining "The Third World" and "Live Organ Transplants".This is notable as by far the grossest Python film, via such highlights as the aforementioned "Live Organ Transplants" sketch and the restaurant scene featuring the projectile-vomiting Mr. Creosote, which is notably the only movie scene that has ever disgusted Quentin Tarantino. That didn't stop it from receiving the Grand Prize of the Jury award at the 1983 Cannes Film Festival, however. | |

All Men Are Perverts | |
| Monty Python's The Meaning of Life / int_129749df | comment |
All Men Are Perverts: The first sketch in the "Death" segment suggests that if men were allowed to choose how they could die, being chased by bare-breasted women is apparently the way to go. Subverted in that while the initial impression is that he is to die while having lots of sex, in fact his fate is to dive off a cliff into his own open grave. | |

Darker and Edgier: Though the film is still very much a comedy, it focuses a good deal more on attempting to make its viewers uncomfortable than any of the Pythons' previous work did. | |

| Monty Python's The Meaning of Life / int_24321e44 | comment |
Only Sane Man: The Grim Reaper. It takes him several minutes to impress upon the hosts and guests of a dinner party that he's not there to trim the hedge, doesn't want wine and won't discuss philosophy with them. When they finally die and follow him to the great beyond, they decide to take their cars (their ghost cars, which, like them, leave behind the original forms), causing the Reaper to do a hilarious double-take before shrugging it off and beckoning them on. | |

Silly Prayer: In the "Part II: Growth and Learning" part, the Chaplain at a British Boy's Academy leads the student body into prayer which can only be described as mindless flattery. After the prayer is done, the Dean tells everyone not to rub linseed oil into the school's cormorant (it Makes Just as Much Sense in Context) and tells a student that their mother died before the Chaplain leads the students into a psalm begging God not to cook them all in various ways in Hell. | |

Hypocritical Humour: Graham Chapman's character is executed by being chased off a cliff by a group of topless women. His crime? "First degree making of sexist jokes in a moving picture." Roman Catholics believe that "Every sperm is sacred", but see nothing wrong with selling their children to science. And the Protestants celebrate their access to contraception but are trapped in a Sexless Marriage anyway. | |

Skewed Priorities | |
| Monty Python's The Meaning of Life / int_3d2c6d30 | comment |
Skewed Priorities: The Roman Catholic parents are so vehement in the church's rejection of contraceptives that they are absolutely swarmed with children they can't afford to raise (to the point of basing a song around it), yet they see no problem with selling those children for scientific experimentation when the dad loses his job at the mill. Considering we see those children in Heaven at the end, they likely died from it. The headmaster lectures the whole school at length over the importance of the school's cormorant, upbraiding them because boys have been rubbing linseed oil into it (It Makes Just As Much Sense In Context). He offhandedly adds, "Oh, and Jenkins, apparently your mother died this morning." | |

The Hand Is God: Played for Laughs. A British Army officer is opining about how "we'll always need a military, and may God strike me dead if it's ever otherwise." Cue Bolt of Divine Retribution doing just that, and a giant hand withdrawing into a cloudbank afterwards. Which is immediately followed by a sergeant major lambasting his troops, "Don't stand there gawping, like you've never seen the hand of God before!" | |

Book Ends: Not in the movie itself, but for Monty Python as a whole in hindsight — what turned out to be the troupe's final film (as well as pretty much the final time they all worked together) ends with a TV set playing the original credits for Monty Python's Flying Circus. | |

The Un-Reveal | |
| Monty Python's The Meaning of Life / int_5a3b8032 | comment |
The Unreveal: Although several theories as to the "meaning of life" are given throughout the film, when the "true" answer is finally revealed at the end it's not very life-changing. And this is only a segue into a totally unrelated and tangential joke. We never do find out why two men in a tiger costume stole a man's leg in the middle of the night. | |

Heaven | |
| Monty Python's The Meaning of Life / int_a10f3840 | comment |
The Roman Catholic parents are so vehement in the church's rejection of contraceptives that they are absolutely swarmed with children they can't afford to raise (to the point of basing a song around it), yet they see no problem with selling those children for scientific experimentation when the dad loses his job at the mill. Considering we see those children in Heaven at the end, they likely died from it. | |

Soundtrack Dissonance: The "Galaxy Song", a cheery, happy-go-lucky tune, with vaguely upbeat lyrics about the wondrous vastness of the universe, that ends on a big downer about the lack of intelligent life on Earth. It's sung right after a scene wherein a man has his liver harvested while he's still alive. Immediately after the song finishes, his wife agrees to undergo the process herself. | |

Educational Song | |
| Monty Python's The Meaning of Life / int_aeff903 | comment |
Educational Song: "The Galaxy Song" is surprisingly educational for a Monty Python film (although the science is a bit outdated; at the time the film was made the numbers used were considered fairly accurate). Notably, DUE to the fact the science IS outdated, The Galaxy Song is being constantly revised to try to keep to the tune while ALSO updating some of the more incorrect pieces of information, meaning that a version broadcast on a sketch show by their successor is several times more accurate than the original Python version! | |

Cool and Unusual Punishment: One skit has a man executed by being chased through Dover and off a cliff by naked women (well, boxing helmets, thongs, kneesocks and cleats). It's mentioned that he was allowed to choose the method of his execution. As a punishment for laughing in class, the headmaster condemns a small boy to play in a rugby match of pupils against the masters. An Ominous Pipe Organ plays Bach's Toccata in D minor during this match. | |

The British army are pretty nonchalant about a hundred of their own men getting slaughtered by the Zulus. A high-ranking officer losing a leg is given some pause, but even then it's not considered as shocking as it would be in real life. The schoolboys getting bored at the sight of their teacher having sex with his hot wife counts too. | |

Brick Joke | |
| Monty Python's The Meaning of Life / int_fe0330fb | comment |
Brick Joke: The movie opens with the "Meaning of Life" song, wherein the singer goes through all the big questions about the meaning of life that humanity tends to torture itself with, rather grandiosely boasting that "tonight, for a change, it will all be made clear!" Then, after all the surreality wherein these central questions are loosely touched on at best, the movie ends with a short scene wherein the Meaning of Life is, in fact, revealed — and it turns out to be nothing that special. The "Crimson Permanent Assurance" short invades the main film. The hotel in the "Middle Age" chapter is revealed, in "Death", to be heaven. The American couple in the earlier segment have apparently managed to forget that they are dead.
