Even from the beginning of the movie the satire that made the movie what it is today is clearly visible. Arthur goes into town to find his Knights of the Round Table: “Sir Bedevere the Wise, Sir Lancelot the Brave, Sir Galahad the Pure, Sir Robin the Not-Quite-So-Brave-As-Sir-Lancelot, and the aptly named Sir Not-appearing-in-this-film”(Monty Python and the Holy Grail). The movie is based on the knight’s many adventures on their way to find the Holy Grail. On their way to finding the Grail they face a varying array of horror, including a persistent Black Knight, a three-headed giant, a group of shrubbery-challenged knights, a killer rabbit, a house of virgins, and a handful of rude Frenchmen.

Things start out well for Arthur’s society, but soon enough sin takes over and people fall to evil. Sir Launcelot, Arthur’s most trusted, skilled, and noble knight, has an ongoing affair with Gwynevere and does not repent until his deathbed. Eventually, there is revenge, adultery, lying, and killing among the once-united brothers of the Round Table. This moral society failed not because the rules were flawed, but because the people following the rules were flawed.
