Description

This reference identifies and explains the cultural, historical, and topical allusions in the film Monty Python's Meaning of Life, the Pythons' third and final original feature as a complete group. In this resource, virtually every allusion and reference that appears in the film is identified and explained —from Britain's waning Empire through the Winter of Discontent to Margaret Thatcher's second-term mandate, from playing fields to battle fields, and from accountant pirates to sacred sperm. Organized chronologically by scene, the entries cover literary and metaphoric allusions, symbolisms, names, peoples, and places; as well as the many social, cultural, and historical elements that populate this film, and the Pythons' work in general.
