One of my fan favorites that I had watched is Monty Python and the Holy Grail. If you haven't watched it yet, I rate it as a good-good. For Objective quality, this movie is hilarious. One of my favorite parts was when the knights came upon a wizard. He led the gang to a cave where lies a small cute white rabbit.
TIM: There he is!
ARTHUR: Where?
TIM: There!
ARTHUR: What, behind the rabbit?
TIM: It is the rabbit.
ARTHUR: You silly sod!
TIM: What?
ARTHUR: You got us all worked up!
TIM: Well, that's no ordinary rabbit!
ARTHUR: Ohh.
TIM: That's the most foul, cruel, and bad-tempered rodent you ever set eyes on!
ROBIN: You tit! I soiled my armor I was so scared!
TIM: Look, that rabbit's got a vicious streak a mile wide! It's a killer!
GALAHAD: Get stuffed!
TIM: He'll do you up a treat, mate.
GALAHAD: Oh, yeah?
ROBIN: You manky Scots git!
TIM: I'm warning you!
ROBIN: What's he do, nibble your bum?
TIM: He's got huge, sharp-- eh-- he can leap about-- look at the bones!
ARTHUR: Go on, Bors. Chop his head off!
So just an ordinary rabbit right, King Arthur told one of his knights to kill the rabbit, and so he did. Not knowing, the rabbit jumped on the Knight and killed him almost instantaneously.
ARTHUR: Jesus Christ!
TIM: I warned you!
ROBIN: I have done it again!
TIM: I warned you, but did you listen to me? Oh, no, you knew it all, didn't you? Oh, it's
just a harmless little bunny, isn't it? Well, it's always the same. I always tell them--
These lines were hilarious and how the knight reacted to the rabbit makes the scene the best out of all others. After several failed attempts, King Arthur had enough and called upon the Holy Hand grenade and basically blew the rabbit to kingdom come. A white puff off fluff where all the remained of the poor innocent rabbit. All throughout the movie, Scenes like the one above are riddled throughout.
In my opinion, this movie is one of the bests, each scene you can find a joke. Comedy is everywhere, and newcomers will be guaranteed to laugh. The type of comedy is dark in some area, such as the exploded bunny, and light in others where soldiers are making fun of King Arthur using two halves of coconuts to make sounds of if he is riding a horse. It can put a new spin on an old classic tale of heroism. The movie was made in a totally different way with cartoons, with one of the first 4th wall breaks ever made. The type of movie I believe really contracts from another movie which helps it stand out in the open. My personal opinion, no other comedy movie went that far and didn't get well known because it was just like any other comedy movie. So, if you haven't watched this movie yet what are you doing with your life. It is a movie that you will never forget.
With regards to your evaluation, I agree with the grade you gave the film but the analysis is flawed to a point. You provide great subjective analysis and it's refreshing to see objective level detail here. However there isn't much of an objective analysis at all here. You need to discuss some MES qualities within the film and really break down the "sandwich". The movie is great but you need to talk more about it's great objective qualities. Talk about dominant features, shot angles, lighting key, etc. The integration of the script to the scene as well as stills was a great idea but it takes up more space than it should. It adds to the analysis but takes from it as well. Again I absolutely loved the movie as well and could not agree more with a Good-Good but the analysis leaves something to be desired.
