Recently, the famous British director Terry Guilliam gave an extensive interview with The Independent. The subject of the conversation was to be the last film of the Master called "The man who killed Don Quixote", but Gilliam was bored with conversations on this topic that, instead, he shared his opinion about a number of burning issues of modernity. In particular, the director expressed his contempt for a large-scale Metoo movement, which gained momentum after the sexy scandal around Harvey Weinstein.
Metoo is just a witch hunt. I sincerely believe that a lot of decent or at least not the most annoying people turned out to be grinding the millstones of this movement. I think it is wrong. I do not like such herd sophistication,
- director spoke.
Following this, 79-year-old Guiliam spoke out about the situation with Harvey Weinstein, who appeared before the court to answer the charges of sexual violence against him:
When you have power, you are not considered responsible for the abuse of others. You enjoy the power. In fact, it works exactly. As for many women who became victims of Harvey, I sympathize with them. At the same time, Hollywood is always full of adult ambitious people who themselves make one or another choice. In general, I understand that for a long time the power belongs mainly to the male half, but, by being a white man, I am tired that this category is accused of all sins in the world. I have nothing to do with such a relationship.
Terry Guiliam is one of the most extraordinary directors of modernity. Being in the past member of the Comic Group "Monti Paiton", he put such pictures as "Monti Paiton and the Holy Grail" and "The meaning of the life of Monti Paiton." Also on his account a number of religious films, including "Brazil", "Fear and Hate in Las Vegas" and "Imagonarium Dr. Parnas".
