The film is an affectionate parody of that whole story, archetype. It also makes fun of plenty of other things, as we will discuss in this episode. And you will hear me fully dissecting all the language and comedy in what is y my favourite scene in the film. The constitutional peasants scene, where arthur talks to a couple of peasants who are collecting mud in a field. They talk about whether it really is a monarchy ruling by divine authority or whether it is some kind of anaco syndicalist commune based on marxist values - which hadn't actually been established until many centuries later.
