Monty Python Flying circus

British humor is way too far from American fun. I can confess that I am a fan of British
comedy. I have watched Monty Python several times, and it is incomparable to most American
comedies due to the creativity used in drafting are the comic jokes. American humor contains
humorously embarrassing events. I enjoy American comedians though I cannot think of any at
the moment except Chris Rock. British skits are more enjoyable for the jokes tend to be of
different levels (Landy, 2005). From the Monty Python, we have open tricks that tend to be more
and more involved. In this case, we have the act on The Life of Brian in Monty Python Flying
Circus. In this case, Brian tries to escape and a mob that mistakes him for a prophet, in the chaos,
he gives one of his followers a gourd, and as he tries to flee, he loses his shoe.
At this point, the crowd of followers divides into two. The first groups start yelling, "All
hail the gored," and the second group claims that the prophet wants people to walk in his shoes.
This joke is more profound when you come to think of it. It does not reflect on people
worshiping gourds or shoes. However, this joke reflects on Abrahamic beliefs or religions that
began in different ways and have changed to where they are now. From Monthy python, it is
clear that British comedy consists of intelligent humor or multi-level humor, for it is evident in
most scenes. American comedians cannot make jokes at this level. Most American comics
include themes that are not funny at all. Some opt to use music to highlight important topics, but
they do not do it to make people laugh. Monty Python Flying Circus is an intelligent cosmic joke
that I can never stop watching.

Jeremiah Johnson

Young men in Jeremiah Johnson film are so much willing to go into the mountains and
endanger their lives to seek a more peaceful life. They do not move their due to money or any
material things (Pollack et al., 1992). These young men emulate Jeremiah Johnson's decision to
opt for a more solitary life, full of peace, by spending his time with nature in the mountains.
Jeremiah Johnson was a US army who decided to like in the frontier part of West America. He
plans to find a place or a piece of land where he can build a house. The desire ends up drawing
more young men in this activity, a thing that envisioned. He amasses friends and acquaintances
along the way, and all these people become more critical parties in his life as he had thought and
planned. The most vital role that these men play is instilling Jeremiah with essential skills on
how to co-exist with other Indian tribes. These skills are necessary since Jeremiah decides to
live in their land. He works so hard to build a good neighborhood and obtains this land. Indian
crow soldiers murder Jeremiah’s wife and daughter after realizing that he violated the rules of
Indian burial.
The troop sent attains the assigned duties, for they are so much willing to preserve the
Indian culture. They are not after material things, but they are after fighting for their learning.
They are after killing Johnson, but he fights them back, killing them one by one. All the soldiers
sent to fight him. They do not succeed, but he conquers them all. By so doing, Johnson becomes
a respected legend in this community. After so much struggle, Johnson can sit down and enjoy
the peace he so much ye...
