🎥 Brazil (1985), directed by Terry Gilliam, is a dystopian satire starring Jonathan Pryce and featuring Robert De Niro and Michael Palin. It depicts a 1984-style totalitarian state - but Pryce’s character, Sam Lowry, dreams of escape.

"Was haben die Garether je für uns getan!?"
"Straßen." "Das Aquädukt." "Kanalisation!" "Medizin."
"Na gut, aber abgesehen von Straßen, …"
"Was … ist die Fluggeschwindigkeit einer Ente!?"
"Maraskanische oder mittelländische Ente?"
Ja, wir sind auf dem Level…

There's a track that starts with a posh-sounding gentlemen trying to interview passers-by about shirts. It's not surprising that these folks shared personnel with Monty Python, in the form of Neil Innes.
Fifty years ago the Black Knight got a papercut. #montypython
"The #MontyPython troupe famously made #HolyGrail on a shoestring budget—so much so that they couldn't afford to have the knights ride actual horses. (There are only a couple of scenes featuring a horse, and apparently it's the same horse.) Rather than throwing up their hands in resignation, that very real constraint fueled the Pythons' creativity. The actors decided the knights would simply pretend to ride horses while their porters followed behind, banging halves of coconut shells together to mimic the sound of horses' hooves—a time-honored Foley effect dating back to the early days of radio."

"And now! At last! Another film completely different from some of the other films which aren't quite the same as this one is," was the tagline of "Monty Python and the Holy Grail," which was released 50 years ago this month. The team at @arstechnica discuss the things they love about this absurdist masterpiece.

50, no more... no less... 50 is the age it turned, so it's 50 years old now. Not 51 years of age, neither just 49.... 🎉
