No other filmmaker has as many on-set horror stories as Terry Gilliam does. His has been a career marked by studio mistreatment and hellish production woes, and yet through all of it, he's stood firm, a figure of constant persistence -- and from that persistence have come some of the most wildly inventive and imaginative fantasies of all time.

Terry Gilliam just shared this video on Facebook.
Did he
Guillermo del Toro in an interview said something like "one of the best directors today that doesn't get any work is Terry Gilliam"
At least he finally got to make Don Quixote.
Nope. The question from the interviewer was: "Who do you think it´s the best director working today, or at least your favorite?" And del Toro´s answer was: "One that sadly doesn´t get to make enough movies. Terry Gilliam".
@@gabrielp9646 Same difference.
@@MrHEC381991 Nope. In the real quote Gillermo del Toro states that he considers Terry Gilliam to be the best director alive, in your version of the quote he doesn´t (I know this is not that big of a deal, but it´s cool to know the respect Gilliam gets from his peers).
I honestly don't care if I wind up not liking The Man Who Killed Don Quixote. The fact that Terry finally made it is enough for me.
I saw it, and it was magnificent. Better than I expected and with Gilliam, I always raise the bar.
Did you like it?
@@merlinsiervo I have not seen it yet but thank you for reminding me that I have to.
I adored it. Esp since it was his ultimate passion project for many years
Agree
This was beautiful
You are also beautiful.
@@hunmiliengtipi9218 aww...
I like that the best video essay people all have a cute lil appreciation for each other. Like a council of creators.
For 51 years I've loved his work and Brazil was a masterpiece.
Unpopular Opinion: Terry Gilliam needs to make more movies.
That's unpopular?
It is a popular opinion
Enshohma Agreed. Terry’s so underrated.
Actually, he's an underrated one. But at least for him, a few movies were enough since he's already old.
At least he finally made his Quijote!
"I think Terry could only operate in opposition, he HAS to have an enemy, I don't think his juices run unless he is fighting against somebody"
Love love love that you didn't stick to homaging Every Frame and Nerdwriter, like you once mentioned. This was a blast to watch. And it felt so YOU
It's an homage to the great short documentary "A Brief History of John Baldessari
".
Fantastic video! Loved the style mirroring Terry's animation style. Great work.
What a brilliantly put together video. The most innovative I have seen on CZcams in years.
I find you in the weirdest places....
honestly, gilliam is my favorite director. also, this video was amazing.
Yes. Great job!
Man, thank GOD we audiences managed to see Brazil as it was intended. Can you IMAGINE if the Sheinberg cut was actually released worldwide? Honestly, the fact that Gilliam finally managed to complete Don Quixote after 20 years of hell really shows just how much he had to put up with. The man truly has guts of steal.
It's worth Googling Sheinberg's conflicts with Spielberg over Back To The Future. I can't do it justice in a CZcams comment.
Oh believe me, I KNOW
Scheinberg's version was aired on american TV. I was telling a friend of mine to see the film and she saw the wrong version and couldn't understand why I was singing its praises. I have only watched it with fascinating running commentary explaining the omissions and substitutions made, and how they change Sam Lowry's character by making him completely unaware of what's going on rather than being caught up as part of it. As an editor I found it very informative, and quite terrifying.
Gilliam was contracted to bring in the movie at just under two hours. He didn't. Brazil was about 20 minutes too long. If he had brought it to the studio for the agreed length, Universal would have had to release it as is. He refused to cut the movie the duration he had been contracted to bring it in at. Hence the "war" and Battle for Brazil. If Shienberg had then re-cut his shortened version of Brazil, Gilliam would've been able to sue Universal. There's no mention of this in the video above though. Hmmm...
Why is Gilliam always working with the Americans?
Wonderful. Terry Gilliam is a hero of mine. Thank you for making this.
Thank God for the noble heart of Terry Gilliam. A true film-pionier. We love his Art.
That movie "Tideland" that he made with the little girl who helps prepare her old ex-rock star daddy's heroin but then he dies and it turns into a surreal "Weekend At Bernie's" situation (sorta) but also there's a steampunk witch-person that turns out to be the dead junkie daddy's old sweetheart from way back, damn, that was a strange film, and he clearly didn't have access to much of a budget, but Terry Gilliam is a visionary and it's a shame he's had such a rough time of it...
Thank you for making this. More people need to know of Terry Gilliam.
Thank you so, so much for making a video on Terry Gilliam! He's one of my favourite animators and has been an absolutely huge influence on my work as an animator and artist.
Love the way you have made your video essays so creative. I love just ordinary video essays analyzing film and filmmaking but you bring something very unique to it.
Your stop motion explanation is a masterpiece of itself. Keep up with the great effort, I really love you channel because I was often hooked by the thumbnail of your video.
Dude, killer work. Some of your best! Keep it up!
This might be your best work yet. You've outdone yourself and you've been on a roll for a while now with each of your videos just getting better.
This was brilliant- it looks like a whole LOT of work went into it! You really captured the essence of Gilliam, this should get itself across to him, it will make all his insanity worth while- thanks for persisting!
You, my friend, are one of the most underrated film channels. This was brilliant. Well done lad
Longtime fan of Gilliam. How long, you ask? I saw the Houston premiere of BRAZIL at a small theatre, now gone, in The Galleria. Hardly anyone in the audience (I think it was a matinee showing), and I was floored at the inventiveness and quality start to finish. Also a big fan of the underrated Munchausen - the scene with Venus and Mars was spectacular! Don Quixote is in my queue, and I've probably seen everything else TG has done. Thanks as always for an excellent vid!
Sidenote: There's an animated Russian b/w Munchausen from 1929 on the YT channel ALL SOVIET MOVIES ON RVISION. Check it out - it's animation, after all ;-)
I can tell you've been experimenting to see what's possible to do within filmmaking and the video essay and holy shit, you are succeeding. Your passion, your creativity, your talent...it's all gold. I can't wait to see what you do next and where your career goes. Seriously, great work man.
I'm very excited about the man who killed don quixote.
I have been a fan since I was very little. The adventures of Baron Munchausen was one of my favourite films. I really appreciatte this director, Thanks.
Great video by the way, the way is constructed is really fun and dinamic.
Would be a shame if it sucked, but I´m excited for it aswell. Considering it has been his passion project for two decades now.
I worked at a theater in San Francisco showing The Adventures of Baron Munchausen, and I love it from the first scene to the last.
I LOVED this video. Been watching Flying Circus recently and am impressed by your commitment to employ this cut-out style of animation throughout the whole video, as a loving tribute.
Thank you for the special effort on making this video. It fits the theme of Terry Gilliam. Keep them coming, great vid.
A few titles missing from the list at the beginning. I understand skipping over them in the telling of the story presented here, but still superb films and in the case of 12 Monkeys and The Fisher King triumphant successes. I met Terry Gilliam on the set of The Fisher King completely unaware of what he'd just been through right before that with Munchausen-which I absolutely loved. It was a thrill to watch him working and getting to speak to not only him, but also Robin Williams; 2 of my heroes since childhood.
Love the way you made this video essay. An awesome tribute to an awesome man.
Artists must persist. Thanks for persisting! This video was beautiful and artfully edited.
One of your best videos to date! Your channel just gets better with every video
That Monty Python foot parody was a great detail!
Nice emulating the monty Python animation style!
This was inspiring and a joy to behold. Congrats on making your own mark on the world of video essays!
This is great that you did it in stop motion, it's done very creatively and it ads so much to the video.
Not that the regular ones are bad (and they are probably faster to do) but it's cool to see different types of stuff from time to time
Thank you! Yeah, the regular ones take a fraction of the amount of time. Making this one was a ton of fun, but it took F O R E V E R.
Brazil is in my top ten list of favorite movies. I have seen it with the happy and the unhappy ending. I prefer happy endings, but in the case of Brazil the unhappy ending was best. Even though Sam Lowry is captured in the end and we see him in a chair tied down, we see his mind is still free. They can take a mans body, but not his soul. I love that movie. There are so many unforgettable scenes in the movie, it is filled with an unending stream of visual candy.It never gets old and even though I have seen it a dozen times I can watch it today with anticipation and delight.
absolutly awesome video! Worthy of Terry.
This video is a tribute to Terry Gilliam... in his comedic style from Monty Python. Can't stop laughing. You're such a versatile CZcamsr, and I'm always impressed by your videos.
Really love how you used his style of animation for this amazing documentary! A very good commemoration.
it's nice to see the video essay being done in an interesting way, keep it up man
Real props for all the work that went into this video; if only all film analyses videos were so creative.
I don't know why, but every time I'm feeling down, I play this video and cheers me up always. If Terry Gilliam could persist even after all the hells he went through I can too...
amazingly made video, great job! perfect for someone like gilliam
Thank you for this. I have put the release date of this movie in my calendar with a reminder, so I won't forget. Terry has given me so much joy over the years, would be a shame to miss this.
Wait don Quixote is out at Cannes? They didn’t block the release! Oh my tears of joy are streaming down my face!!!!! Go Terry!!!!!!!!!!
This was amazingly well made! Terry has made some amazing movies in his time.
Suchhhhhhh a great video. Congrats man.
Damn, thank you for making this and especially for making it in this way!
Beautifully executed!
This is the best thing I’ve watched all week
I watched Brazil for the first time the other day. Incredible movie. I can't remember the last time I thought about a film for the next few days after watching it.
This video makes me cry ❤️
I've seen this video a couple of times now. But today, being artistically drained, angry and uneasy because of setbacks with a project that nobody asked or payed for (or ever will), that I quit my job as an editor for to focus on - I teared up at your description of Munchausen despite the circumstances of it's making. This is a great essay.
Great video, really liked the cut paper animated techniques.
Amazing video brother!!
Great video! I've got the Brazil directors cut on Laserdisc. It's also the anniversary of Terry's 'Fear And Loathing' In Las Vegas (Johnny Depp) this weekend.
He inspires others to find their greatness. The true genius of any artist
Great analysis on my favorite director. Terry is a huge influence of mine, and I hope to have the same amount of determination he does
lovely presentation!
That. Was. Beautiful. And. AWESOME! Bravo !
Wonderful presentation.
Bravo! Brilliant work.
this was cool..well made! being an amateur filmmaker, i always watch terry gilliam films before any new project..just for the inspiration.
This was fantastic. Bravo
I'm not nearly as big a fan of Terry Gilliam's live action films as I am of his work for Monty Python, but I still admire the man, with his tenacity, rebellious nature, absurdist imagination and creative vision, and whenever he turns out a movie, I may not always like it, but I can still appreciate it in some form, be it from a technical level, from an entertainment level, or both.
I do also love how this video was done in the style of the Monty Python cutout animations that Gilliam made. Nice homage. And a great video essay in general.
Love the Gilliam-esque animation!
Your videos are incredible.
What a beautiful video!
Terry Gilliam and Martin Scorsese are two of my personal favorite movie directors.
There my favorite as well Tim Burton Francis Coppola and the legend himself Stanley Kubrick
Greetings from durango México, this channel is gold.
This is one of the best movie channels on CZcams
Love your channel
There is so much love in this video.
Terry is my favorite director. By FAR! And it's it's in part for the reason you illustrate here. Brazil my all time fave movie. Only one of hs I was too fond of and I'll only give you one guess. That aside, I truly hope he's got one more at the very least up his sleeve. GO Terry!
Wonderful tribute.
Terry Gilliam Reminds me of Phillip K Dick...no-one really get's them, until years later and then they finally get the credit they deserve!!
Terry Gilliam is exactly the type of genius that Disney/Marvel would never hire for their superhero/remake franchises. Instead they hire these little mini-auteurs to do hack-work but give some 31 flavors variety to what is essentially a homogenous product line. Gilliam wanted to do Harry Potter. Instead Universal went with.... Chris Columbus. The HP films might actually have had some value as pieces of cinema if Terry Gilliam had been involved.
This is great!
I LOVE IT, GREAT VIDEO
Brazil's one of my favorite movies. I had no idea what Terry Gilliam went through to get it released in the US! Also, I agree that The Brothers Grimm was no bueno.
A true terry lover like myself. My hat off to you sir for this joyfully tragic piece
broooo your production game is sooooo high!!!
Easily my favorite filmmaker, heartbreaking to hear how much hell he had to go though to make these films
Empire magazine covered the whole brothers Grimm saga. What a tale. That was. Gilliam became so angry with the Weinsteins. He punched Matt Damon in the nose. Bob and Harvey controlled every aspect of the movie down to the prosthetic make uo
Just saw the film yesterday here in Madrid, it was every bit as fantastic as I wanted it to be and it breaks my heart that there were 10 other people on the cinema
Top 3 filmmakers of our time.
Brilliant!
This. Was. Amazing.
Sounds like you've watched "A Brief History of John Baldessari" a couple times.
Really like the style
yes yes yes yes yes I freaking love Terry Gilliam. His films are so inspiring and so entertaining to watch. Thank you so very much for shinning a light on this beautiful, weird, bad-ass of a filmmaker who fights the fights the artists before him fought.
his films are very much niche. but that's what makes them so good - they are that weird part of cinema I'm glad we have as the experimental just doesn't get enough love.
You've made a gorgeous little film that the master himself would be proud of.
The Man Who Killed Don Quixote did indeed premier at the 2018 Cannes Film Festival (and across France) where it received a well-deserved standing ovation.
...And "WELCOME TO THE CLUB,OLD BOY!"...Orson Welles
This was fantastic
Fantastic presentation of Gilliam and also the plight of a creators! Stop motion animation was impressive and worked great for this piece.
Although as of this week, it seems that there may be another speed bump in the TMWKDQ release. A lawsuit claiming he doesn’t own the rights to the material, any comment on this?? Such a crazy process for this film
I woiuldn't mind not catching the break that Terry Gilliam can't catch.
awesome!
So good
