Arthur, King of the Britons (c) Monty Python
Although my parents went to see the Richard Burton / Vanessa Redgrave musical "Camelot" for their first date, I've never seen the movie. Growing up I was bombarded with Disney film after Disney film but at no point during my childhood did "The Sword in the Stone" cross my path. In fact, it still hasn't (Sorry, Tony). And there's only been two movies I've ever falling asleep in the theater watching: one of those being "First Knight" starring Sir Sean Connery as King Arthur and Richard Gere as Sir Lancelot. What I'm saying is when it comes to viewing a production about true (or somewhat true) Arthurian legend, I fail in one form or another.
But I've seen "Monty Python and the Holy Grail" at least a dozen times.
Yes, not only is my default King of the Britons someone who fought the Knights Who Say "Ni", vanquished the Rabbit of Caerbannog, and always carried a set of coconuts but he's the only King of the Britons I'm well versed on. That's sad. Seriously, while I was playing the stage in "Tomb Raider: Legend" when Lara Croft was investigating a King Arthur museum, I fully expected a group of the wax mannequins to suddenly break out singing "We're knights of the Round Table, We dance whenever we're able!" There is no excuse. I hang my head in shame.
Although in my defense I was considering breaking my ignorance cycle once and for all with this homage. I did some research on the Guy Richie directed film this picture was supposed to be based upon. However, I quickly discovered the main plot revolves around a reckless death metal warrior named Arthur who grew up on the harsh back streets of Londinium; unaware his royal lineage allows him to draw forth the mystical sword Excalibur and fight alongside the Resistance against the wicked Vortigern who murdered Arthur's parents when he was just a child.
Yeah. I think Graham Chapman's portrayal sounds more accurate. - Jake
