Terry Gilliam Discusses Taking On Hollywood | The Dick Cavett Show 

Yeah but he hates black people

@@cooterswift916 Does he now?

He had some rather unfortunate and derogatory things to say about Black Panther.

@@zingzangspillip1 So if you don't like Black Panther then you don't like Black people?

I didn't say that. I love Terry and I usually agree with him, but his comments about Black Panther were unfair and mostly incorrect.

Tarantino was a student of Terry Gilliam.

They worship Satan.

Don't forget Orson Welles!

I wish we got a collab w him & Kubrick.

@Richard Gleaves Interesting. I’ve never seen the phony cut, but that does make sense in a twisted, “Brazilian” way.

*How can I know for sure WHICH version of Brazil I've seen?*

I'd rather watch Fisher King and agree with you.

I really liked 12 Monkeys.

He was one of the original Monty Python (British show started in 1969, but damn if it still isn't funny today). 12 Monkeys (1995), Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas (1998) are two of my favorite films he directed.

The Adventures of Baron Munchausen and the Fisher king are two of my favorites from him. 12 Monkeys and Fear and loathing are also incredible. Saw those both in the theater when they came out. His style is this great blend of low brow pop culture and real art. The dude makes fantastic pictures.

@islanti Yeah , Dick Cavett was really good with people... he made them feel calm and didn't make them feel rushed... he didn't usually interrupt and was able to get them to open up .

That movie is´t underrated at all.

Cardinal Fang surely has changed.

Nobody expects the SPANISH INQUISITION!

she saw this lol

Kris B This interview was 1991.

He's American. The only Python guy who was not a Brit.

He's originally from Minneapolis . I know it's kind of mind-blowing when you realize he's an American... there's a very good documentary that talks a little bit about each member of Monty Python from birth and educate and everything that happened before they became Monty Python.

I can't think of the name of it but there's a very good documentary that talks about each member of Monty Python and tells briefly of their childhood ... it's very good and tells everything about before they were Monty Python... I just can't think of what it's called but it should not be hard to find here

Well he's 79 years old. Be 79 and tell us you put out a film the previous year (2018) and then talk ;)

@@malenotyalc yes I know he's getting up there in age I'm just making a simple statement it seems that for quite some time now he has been having problems .

@@malenotyalc personally I like the guy ..I have always liked him but I just think he did somehow Jinx himself .

Well the way I see it most creative people like him get bored doing the same thing over and over. Thus, unlike a person that is motivated by greed or fame, rather than artistic satisfaction, he doesn't say oh that particular movie did really well, lets do another just like it. Instead, I'm sure tons of executives approach him wanting him to do similar movies (that were successes) that are more commercially viable, and he says no.

Also garden of the gods is a cool place in Colorado Springs that everyone should check out ;) Went there as a 5 year old and then in my 20s - still amazing.

Heygate is Walworth area

Vastly more talented than Glen Campbell. Directed Time Bandits, Twelve Monkeys, Dr. Parnassus, etc.

One of the founders of Monty Python

@@steveconn You must be kidding. Nothing against Monty Python (English humor has never been my cup of tea -- OTOH, I absolutely adore Jewish humor) or those movies but your "vastly more talented" statement is nothing less than absurd. I can only speculate that you're ignorant of the incredible instrumental, vocal and even acting talents that Glen Campbell possessed.

@@Rangernewb5550 Thanks P.S. Trivia: Did you know that "Jack Ryan" was actor "Jack Lord's" real name? LOL

@@ccatalano4236 Terry Gilliam cannot sing, write songs and play guitar. He can animated, draw and direct with the best though, and is far better than Glen Cambell at doing that.

I would say his masterpiece is The Adventures of Baron Munchausen. I would say that's the most magical film I've ever seen in my life.

I think Brazil deserved every bit of praise that has ever been heaped on it.

I saw Brazil when it came out and it was ignored so much I was lucky to even know it existed. On the way out afterwards I locked eyes with a stranger on the way out and we nodded to each other as if we'd just experienced something life-changing. We'd still say hi on the street if we saw each other later. How many films do that?

Yeah - tend to agree that Brazil is overrated. I think because of the controversy over how it was tampered with by the studio - that's where all the hype and praise mostly comes from. I actually think 12 monkeys is his best film.

TG was never into drugs! He's into creativity. He doesn't use drugs and that's why he's still creative today, not burnt out.

They will always let you down so you should never look up to them

Never trust me. You can be cordial , but always be on your toes

I just read what he said as I missed it. I do feel he expressed his points quite poorly as he didn't come across as clear as he should have. How I took it though is I think what he meant was more in line with that it's a Marvel movie. Marvel movies have usually followed a very strict formula that works because of it. It's easy to guess what's going to happen and you know you're in for a safe controlled experience. For someone like him Marvel movies feel like the antithesis of what he tries to do in his work of doing a different experience every time out. You never know what you're going to get. You see it a lot with Star Wars these days. Just because they have stormtroopers and x-wings all of the time now doesn't automatically make it Star Wars. These things were very personal for George Lucas who created it but now they're being used in a way that takes away the original intentions. So the artistic merit behind it is loss. It's like what Martin Scorsese said but Terry explained worse. That all said I do think on a personal level what Black Panther set out to do was a good thing. It's one of the few Marvel movies I feel that had a more noble intention than the rest. It's very important to give everyone a chance to tell their story. Black stories need to be told just like everyone else's. Especially black superhero stories as while there have been ones in the past the genre has been more dominated on the big screen by white people. There's no way around that. I can see why Terry would take issue since it seems to be more so issues with Marvel as a whole and how it's been used to take artistic vision out of the equation. It's rare to see it used any differently these days. I think sometimes you have to take a work for what it is and not necessarily group them all together. Not all Marvel movies will be the same and I think Black Panther is one of the few exceptions. Maybe one of only two others. It's so great it gave a geninue platform and will inspire young black boys and girls. This compared to stories that replace different races instead of giving stories like a Black Panther or Spike Lee film the platform are day and night different. Every story deserves to be told regardless of race and why sincerity is so important.
