Heartwarming / Monty Python and the Holy Grail

Go To

  • It might be a Funny Moment, but the depiction of God in this movie is also heartwarming. Although the movie is known for its utter hilarity, even Monty Python instills the message or depiction that God Is Good and by that they meant that God is not trying to make people revere and worship Him blindly. He's a pretty chill God and would rather that His followers don't do depressing things like groveling, starting conversations with "Sorry" this, "Forgive me" that or "I'm not worthy"... He also wants His followers to accomplish great things to serve as an example to others.
  • Arthur respecting the Black Knight's supposed decline of his offer to join him and was more or less willing to leave the Black Knight alone after their fight had the latter not persisted, especially when Arthur repeatedly told him he was in no shape to continue fighting.
    • As King Arthur is fighting the Black Knight, Patsy can be seen grinning supportively, as if silently cheering his king on.
  • Concord (somehow) recovers from his injury and saves Prince Herbert, 'at the list minute,' from falling. As the prince prepares to explain how he survived the fall, the wedding band starts up, and the guests, who seem happy that Herbert survived, prepare to join the prince in a triumphant song. Herbert's father tries to protest, only to be drowned out by the joyous singing. This is after Herbert's father constantly shut down his attempts to sing. Although the scene ends before the audience gets to hear Herbert sing, it's nice that he got a happy ending and some kindness.
  • Bedeviere becoming part of Arthur's knights. After Arthur introducing himself as king, Bedeviere kneels before him and after the former asks the latter if he wants to join him to Camelot, he didn't hesitate to accept his offer as it was like a dream come true.
    Arthur: What is your name?
    Bediviere: Bediviere, my liege.
    Arthur: Then I dub you... Sir Bedieviere, Knight of the Round Table.
