Theme of Monty Python the Holy Grail

What would you say the theme of Monty Python the Holy Grail is?
And by theme I mean Harry Potter theme is courage and bravery to face your enemies blah blah blah.
I can't seem to find anything on Wikipedia or Google. If I put in theme I get topics about the theme music of Monty Python and the Holy Grail. And if I put in moral of Monty Python, I am directed to searches of Christian sites.
So yeah.
Need some help.

 

The theme is whatever you make it too be. I personally find no unified theme in The Holy Grail. It seems like a completely random them and each scene could be said to have a different theme. I say that with media you take from it what you find.

 

Does slapstick count as a theme? Slap-stick British gibber-humor? heh.


Out of curiosity, why are you hunting out a theme to The Holy Grail?

 

A quest, surely--and a chance for the Python team to display their comic sketches on a theme (peasant/lord in messy Arthurian-legend land).

 

Agreed. It's just a bit of silly fun. You'll be hard pressed to find a unifying theme.

 

Except for: Listen to warnings about Rabbits.

 

The theme is nothing more than a humerous take on King Arthur and the quest for the holy grail.

 

It's about the catapulting (or more correctly, the trebucheting) of French cows!

 

And a chap that was turned into a Newt but got better.

 

Crazy frenchman

 

And I have read at least two essays which mention a shrubbery sub-context.

 

Knights who say Ni!

 

Let us not forget to jump out of the wooden rabbit.

 

I believe it is a lesson in how to chop limbs off a knight.

 

Let us all remember the unifying unbeatable logic of how to find a WITCH!

 

With a DUCK!

 

Be kind to your shrubberies. That's the theme.

 

BURN HER! XD My favorite scenes in the movie are the Trojan Rabbit, the Witch, and The Black Knight.

 

"You silly english k-nnniggits!"

I do love the "RUN AWAY!" bits as well.

 

I was looking for a little reference to the theme or someone else's opinion of the theme so that way I could have something to think about.
In film class I'm suppose to write an essay about a movie I choose. And I have to incorporate theme.
For me, there is no theme.
Maybe one of the only things I can think of is, to exploit our modern views on the medieval world, that we glorify it or something along those lines.
[But now I have decided to go for Pitch Black as a movie to write the essay so yeah...Monty Python is way to hard cause it doesn't follow any of the forms of film that I was learning about]

 

The theme is a quest.
The form is comedy/satire.
The theme is fairly incidental in this case, the form is the dominant element of the film.

 

It's definitely only about Sir Robin, and his bard of course.
