A Liar's Autobiography
Bunny and I watched “A Liar's Autobiography: The Untrue Story of Monty
Python's Graham Chapman [1]” and I must say—it's a very odd film, even by
Monty Python standards. Animated, in fourteen different styles (some of it
very beautifully done) with most of Monty Python doing voice work (and no,
it's not Graham Chapman that isn't in it), it's a completely made up story of
the life of Graham Chapman.
Well, mostly made up. It does cover his homosexuality and drinking problems.
But everything else is made up. Well, except for him working for Monty
Python. But short of the homosexuality, the drinking problems, and working
with Monty Python, it's all made up. Except his name really is Graham
Chapman.
Okay, let me start over again.
Except for his name, his homosexuality, drinking problems and working with
Monty Python, the movie is completey and utterly false.
Except he did study to become a doctor.
Damn!
Well, it's a very weird film and you should watch it because it's kind of
true, except when it isn't.
There.
