Monty Python's Flying Circus 7DVD Starring: Graham Chapman/John Chris/Eric Love/Terry Gilliam/Terry Jones/More Type: Comedy/Music Synopsis: On October 5, 1969, when these five British and one American appeared shamelessly on BBC television for the first time, the entire British Isles were stunned. From that day on, in the following short four years, the names of the "Python Troupe" and its six members quickly became a symbol of modern British culture through the unprecedentedly successful television comedy program "Flying Circus". It was also from "Flying Circus" that the "python" gradually became known to the world and created a comedy genre with its unique humor that is still widely imitated and applied around the world, especially in Hollywood. The Flying Circus looks similar in form to today's TV skits, but it is not constrained by any norms or patterns, and we cannot see a common trick or repetitive pattern from beginning to end. The creative inspiration for the six highly intelligent living treasures is always wild and unrestrained, with each episode's content either fragmented or coherent, possibly consisting of several independent stories, intersecting clues, or a pile of unrelated fragments. Anything they had a sudden idea of, they boldly captured it with a camera. Except for a few occasional guest appearances by friends (the "sexy beauty" role they must have in case of necessity is played by the "real" actress Carol Cleveland), almost all the dialogue characters in the entire drama are personally played by the living creatures, and almost all the strange costumes you can think of have been tried out by them. The Flying Circus mocks, ridicules, and sometimes even maliciously humiliates historical figures, philosophical theories, political positions, religious doctrines, social phenomena, public consciousness, and so on. From Queen Victoria to ordinary British housewives, from the foam created by the TV media to the real details in daily life, they have all come up with materials at their fingertips. And the handling of controversial topics such as violence or sexuality by "Python" is also very clever, neither appearing to be secretive nor leaving censorship agencies helpless. Of course, this cannot be without the credit of Terry Gillian's ingenious cartoon production that interspersed the show. In fact, first-time viewers of "Flying Circus" or any "Python Maker" may find it difficult to adapt. The extremely rustic British accent, sometimes appearing very foolish, and noisy dialogues can make people confused, and a large part of the program is indeed purely idiotic nonsense and clown style jokes. And the beauty of this program lies in the fact that these seemingly worthless nonsense often bursts with stunning and ingenious ideas, completely exposing all the righteous faces in human civilization from an extremely vulgar perspective. The highest level of the so-called 'great wisdom is as foolish as foolishness' probably lies in this.
