The Monty Python star and tenured director did a new interview with Britain’s Independent under the guise of discussing his eternally-gestating film The Man Who Killed Don Quixote, but, a few minutes in, he sharply turned the conversation to the intricacies of #MeToo and modern masculinity instead.
Gilliam, who joked that he’s decided to become a “black lesbian in transition,” added that this type of remark was the backbone of the Python’s humor — but they weren’t “offending people” because it made others laugh. “I’m talking about being a man accused of all the wrong in the world because I’m white-skinned. So I better not be a man,” he said. “I better not be white. OK, since I don’t find men sexually attractive, I’ve got to be a lesbian. What else can I be? I like girls.
Gilliam, echoing director Michael Haneke, also compared the hundreds of #MeToo accusations within the Hollywood community as a “witch hunt.”
Good for him. It’s getting really old. I’m sure someone will find a way to be offended
He should do what we all want: hush and fade into obscurity
I would say that there might be a lot of different folks out there who are tired of Terry Gulliam being a white male.
Just act right
LOLOLOLOLOLOL
...said Terry Gilliam, in a nonsensically simplistic and “tribalistic” manner.
Rich White Englishman doesn’t like his tribe being blamed for... everything rich white Englishmen have done or played a part in doing over the last six hundred years.
Poor lil tike....so sensitive. Never, ever looked back at the history of oppression conducted by whites... This group of boomers (not all but a heck of a lot) are a self centered lot. Sad!
hahahahaha
Who cares, he made some of the funniest films of all time.
He is not wrong
And now they finally get a taste if their own medicine after centuries where people of color and women were (and continually are) blamed for everything. The important difference is PoC are calling out facts while they made up lies. So please sit down melanin-light male.
It only took him 79 years to get tired of being a lofty beneficiary🙄.
Thank you, next.
K
Lol
Thoughts and prayers
Yeah, as a male, I’d say we’re all on the hook. Time for more women to step up and move into leadership roles. Predominantly male leadership has gotten us where we are, and I don’t think it’s a coincidence.
Cry me a river...
Oopsy, looks like someone's gonna have to get over himself.
Ok boomer 🙄
Beneficiary of Systemic Problem Hopes It Remains Elusive
As a woman I have to agree with him it’s out of hand completely
Melanin-light is vastly preferable to melanin-deficient.
loser
As a White Heterosexual Male, Gilliam needs to shut up...
