>audience doesn't like his movies>critics don't like his movies>pours his heart and soul into his movies just for them to be forgotten and discardedHe should just retire.
>>219486737No, u
>>219486737He had plenty of films that were recieved by critics very well and even when the reception is mixed it's usually leans towards positive. His worst reviewed films are Tideland (which is great and the critical consensus got it wrong) and Brothers Grimm (which is pretty bad, even if has some entertainment / creativity value).Nobody should give a fuck what the "audience" (vile vicious normalfaggots with no taste, plenty on this board too) has to say. Unless you're making blockbuster goyslop.
>>219486737What
Bush Derangement Syndrome broke him.
12 Monkeys is the best time-travel movie in my opinion. Seriously find one flaw.
>>219487279Tideland was atrociously bad. I watched it as an edgy teenager and really wanted to like it but no. It was plain terrible.Terry should stick to animating. If he did an adultswim show I guarantee it would have been a smash hit.
>>219488167I can't watch Brazil without thinking about Robert DeNiro being an absolute cunt to the cast and crew off camera.
>>219488610false as fuck
>>219488881Whatever you say Robert.
>>219488447Idk what to say other than I completely disagree. Tideland is my favourite Gilliam film after Brazil. I don't think it's "edgy" either, the film isn't cynical, it's very honest and genuinely harrowing. Pure Southern Gothic kino.
>>219488610>prepping so much for this piece of shit
>>219486737
>>219488167At least 4 of those are good.
>>219488610He also solicited underage prostitutes while filming Ronin in France.
>>219486737Is he working on anything new?Hed be great to adapt the illuminatus trilogy
dude looks like jorodowski
>Jonathan Pryce runs around yelling & chasing that mid foid for 90 minutes or so until he flies away and the movie just sort of ends
>>219494208Oh no …not the pure innocent hookers
>>219489099It has all the ingredients of being a film I would have loved as a teenager but its simply just bad. All of it. Very poorly executed movie.
>>219486737Even though he's American he has the standard "old British man with long hair" sense of humour that nobody else around finds funny but they still persist confidently. If you live here you'll know the type. It's not quite reddit, hard to describe it. Monty Python is funny because of the others. His solo stuff is just not as funny or smart as he thinks it is, even if it's competently directed.

>>219488167Bizarre filmography
I went to an early screening of The Zero Theorem an he was there moaning about the financing and getting productions off the ground and it being the beginning of the end because of netflix/online distribution and it might have helped his argument had the film not been a total snorefest. I mean it did look nice but yeah, maybe he should, im not sure anything is worth watching after 1998 although The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus has a cast that surely makes it worth a watch...>Gilliam repeatedly said in interviews that the character of Parnassus was meant autobiographically, a tale of an aging man with a vivid imagination in a world that does not listen anymore. He was still caught in depression over the disruption of his last self-written project, The Man Who Killed Don Quixote, his constant struggle with the established studio system, and of becoming aware of his progressing age, worried that he was going nowhere with his latest projects and that he might not have much time left.
He is hit or miss, his filmography goes from zero to ten, but he takes risks and does movies with a lot of heart and soul onto them, that alone makes me respect him very much, I love him.>12 Monkeys>Brazil>Imaginarium of Dr Parnassus>Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas>Baron MunchhausenAll great films.Zero Dark Theorem is boring and weird, I don't even remember much. Brothers Grimm is also silly, though I haven't seen it in 20 years. Don Quixote was alright but underwhelming, the project was nerfed over the years. I think Parnassus is underated, though it was really impaired by the death of Heath Ledger, the switching of actors was weird, even if all of them and Terry's solution was the best that I can think of for this case.I also remember Gilliam shitting on Nolan's about how none of his characters seem to have sex or any dirty thoughts and impulses. This never left my mind and I think Gilliam is sort of on the other side of the spectrum to Nolan. Some plot points seem to lead nowhere, accidents happen and move the story, his characters are often incoherent, impulsive, making bad choices, but goddamn, isn't that just like life? And you can tell all of his characters deeply want something (freedom, love, life, truth, etc), there is an idealistic and fantastical life inside them. That's taking risks. It's a dire contrast to the sterile procedural clockwork scripts, with no flair or loose ends.
>>219495705brazil is utter dogshit and anyone who thinks it isn't is a pseudo intellectual plebbitor. it's a fucking horrid mess, like a version of the equally shredded "meaning of life" without any comedy in it.i despise you fuckers
>>219488610>I can't watch brazilme neither, it's dogshit
>>219494208he was having them like he did in taxi drover
>>219495705>I also remember Gilliam shitting on Nolan's about how none of his characters seem to have sex or any dirty thoughts and impulsesTomino (creator of Gundam) made the same exact comment about Makoto Shinkai, lmao
>>219488343Forced romance
Brazil is Nostalgia Critics fav movie
>>219495949dumb weeaboo, no one asked
>>219496238It's not a bad choice desu.
>>219488167>>21948673712 monks and Baron was good.
>>219495705>Fear and Loathing in Las VegasOh damn I forgot he made that. Better than all of his other movies combined.
>>219487279> Brothers Grimm
>>219488167such a promising start but his career got fucked with that Don Quixote project
>/tv/ gets filtered by Brazil of all filmslmao
>>219486737he makes movies for me, and people like me anon.
Don Quixote unfinished movie broked him, spiritually and artistically.
No Fisher King kino mentioned in the thread
>>219495949kek, I didn't know that and it makes sense. I asked.
>>219488881ESL as FUCK
>>219486737I like his movie
>>219495825It's kafkian maximalist kino... Just admit you got filtered lil bro.
>>219499544This, also Jabberwocky
>>219499544ctrl-f "time bandits" - no resultsyeah, i'm not sure /tv/ knows whom gilliam is
>>219504626I still love that he visited the set of the Apple TV adaptation of it and was so disgusted by it he left three days into a 5 day visit
i think the real problem with Terry's films are that he makes them with love, from his heart: but they're let down by his heart being an ultimately bleak and nihilistic frontier not lending itself well to the saccharine hopefulness that your average omniplexer is craving he's an actual artist who wears that heart on his sleeve, but like many before him, that doesn't translate into ticket salesstill never mind Terry, after you're dead everyone will call you a misunderstood genius
>>219486737I thought this was Jodorowsky for a moment
>>219488447I feel you even though I kinda loved it.The neighbor lady's hick acting was kinda flimsy and amateurish.I enjoyed it from scene to scene and was glad it had a maudlin happy ending in the final minute but the whole time I was thinking "is this awful?"
>>219504818lulz, the poor fella i can't imagine how painful it would be to see some of your best work bastardised by the genius bar
>>219504626>>219504818>>219505062those mischievous midgets were supposed to be cherubs, right?
>>219495825Yeah nah, Brazil is great ya cunt
>>219504862I don't really think he has to worry about not being appreciated at the moment. For the most part Monty Python and its animation style are seen as some of the most important things ever broadcast and while the last couple decades have had a lot of misses and few hits, that run from Holy Grail to Fear and Loathing is a lot more hits than misses.
>>219488167After Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas came a big hiatus, after that the quality of his movies went downhill.What would had happened during that 7 years pause?
>>219486737Time Bandits is absolute kino and I feel bad for people who didn't grow up with it
>>219499544great movie
>>219499544Simp movie. Movie about glorifying a sexless simp. Hard pass.
>>219495825>"pseudo intellectual plebbitor">can't insult someone without using buzzwordsyou are most likely under 20 and have no frame of reference for the hypocrisy and grotesqueness of the outside adult world which is what Brazil is so perfect at deconstructing. I bet you didn't like the ending because it made you upset and that's a scarwry emotion for someone like you
>>219499180This shit ruined me.
>>219495949And he is correct, Shinkai ruined anime
>>219497967Both are mogged by earlier iterations, namenigger
>>219504862Plenty of his movies are hopeful
>>219509687You can't compare La Jetee to 12 Monkeys. Gilliam just took the general plot outline from an experimental movie. I mean, La Jetee is a great experimental short but it's weird to compare them. It's just two fundamentally different sides of cinema.
>>219507771ultra-plebbit beta max faggot
So was Bruce VVillice character schyzo or was time travel real? Or both?
>>219505656only if you're a diseased tranny
>>219501188you must have built up an extremely high tolerance for sulphur, sniffing your own farts all the time
>>219509797it was all a dream.makes the film much more enjoyable to know it was all a dream and none of it happened and the entire watching experience was an utter waste of time.see reddit's other top 12 "it was all a dream" list
One of the comfiest movies of my childhood
>>219509797Both.Time travel made him mad.
>>219507771He probably hasn't seen the ending.
>>219499544Michael Jeter was fantastic in this film. This and Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas paved the way for his role in The Green Mile, one of the greatest films of all time. But his role in Fisher King really stands out for being a minor unnamed character and it's incredible
>>219514886>The Green Mile, one of the greatest films of all time
>>219495871god you have terrible taste. thank god im not you lmao
