Jabberwocky (1977)
7/10
Smart satire and fantasy on dark ages by a solo Monty Python's member!!!
2 June 2020
I love all those Monty Python's satire movies, this one is regarding as under-appreciate solo work by Michael Palin and directed by Terry Gilliam, however not despicable movie that takes place at middle ages about a journey of dumb guy Dennis Cooper (Palin) into a great village which he never seen before, where the King Bruno the Questionable has his poor castle and rules the nearby territory, as Python style has dozen funniest scenes along the movie becoming a pleasant to watching, also Dennis is appalled when a new world unfold at your sight suddenly, there are so many sub-plot as King and all their counselors and all people around provide a smart satire on high circle of the power, when the King asking for a champion to destroy the giant Jabberwocky monster, all wealthy merchants disagree, due they earn much money with the chaos, the Bishop is in the same line as well, aftermaths the monster advent the church is full filled ever since, perceived that the merchants and the Bishop were richest than the King, a strong social commentary that hits the target, also has a hard criticism on labor union when Dennis meets a beggar who self amputated his single food to get money due him wasn't associate on union and didn't get a job, countless funny gags on back and sharp humor, maybe a low point was the battle against the monster, as the improbable hero, be ready to laugh a lot!!
