During his interview with The Independent, the filmmaker spoke about a female character in his new film 'The Man Who Killed Don Quixote,' noting that she's not"accusing" anybody, no matter what happened in her life.on Saturday, British filmmaker Terry Gilliam spoke about the #MeToo movement and gave the opinion that white men are too often blamed in the current political and social climate.
When asked whether the film is about the clash between modern masculinity and old-fashioned ideas of manhood, Gilliam replied, "There's no room for modern masculinity, I'm told. The male gaze is over." In reference to one of the female characters, Angelica, played by Joana Ribeiro, Gilliam goes on to say, "In the age of #MeToo, here's a girl who takes responsibility for her state. Whatever happened in her character's life, she's not accusing anybody. We're living in a time when there's always somebody responsible for your failures, and I don't like this.
Later on in the interview, he coins a phrase for the #MeToo movement. "Yeah, I said #MeToo is a witch hunt," says Gilliam. He goes on to say, "I really feel like there were a lot of people, decent people, or mildly irritating people, who were getting hammered. That's wrong. I don't like mob mentality. These were ambitious adults."
Speaking about a time when a "well-known actress" — whom Gilliam doesn't name — approached the filmmaker and said "What do I have to do to get in your film, Terry?" Gilliam argued, "I don't understand why people behave as if this hasn't been going on as long as there have been powerful people. I understand that men have had more power longer, but I'm tired, as a white male, for being blamed for everything that is wrong with the world.

Well, if the shoe fits..
What is it with these successful people who, in their twilight hour, decide to just burn their reputation to the ground?
crumples up every defense I might have made for Terry Gilliam and throws it in the garbage
The power of privilege is the ability to shift victimhood to those who are are anything but victims - the ability to shift the narrative focus from those who genuinely need it to those who would protect their privilege above all else.
And I am simply tired of white men.
Oh really? What about all the black men targeted by this movement?
to all feminists, women cannot lead by themselves, they need men, without men the food doesnt reach your lips.. you are losing support of men globally, left with the white knights and cucks u dont want.. keep abusing men, society is already done because of Feminazis MeToo
he's right, now men dont even want to talk to women anymore cos they make so much trouble like little crying beeyatches needing attention and lying, making false accusatios - VICTIMHOOD IS POWER hahaha MeToo FeminismIsCancer
white people are so stupid they hate their own skin colour now hahahaha all u lefty whites make me sick and im not even white.. have some dignity guys, u been feminised hahahaha white knights everywhere
Here’s a bunch of old(er) white Aussie volunteer fire fighters. Are they included in the ‘old white men’ category when associated with posts tagged with metoo . generalizations are just cheap shots.
FightSexCrimes Feared and Loathed.
Nobody said “all” the white men are the problem, it’s just happens that all the men who were caught doing shady things were in majority of times white, he’s feeling some type of way cause he’s feeling guilty
He believes that either your a hustler or you will get hustled.
Whoa. ‘White males are blamed for everything.’ Is that right TerryGilliam? Nope. Just the White males who rape, sexually assault & harass women. Is that you? 🤔 MeToo
So maybe then tell all of your white male friends the world over to quit ruining everything.
“I’m tired, as an arsonist, for being blamed for all these fires.”
as a filmmaker it does seem kind of weird that there are now film funds available that exclude me based on my gender. Wasn’t sexism supposed to be phased out and not phased in?
He’s right though, you Liberals are annoying.
LMAO
What an ass.
How many women has he raped then?
About time someone says it
Good for him!
While I applaud MeToo on certain things they need let off the gas people can change MiddleGround StopRadicalism
White men who literally run everything in the world are tired of being blamed for problems? I have an idea. Sit down and let the other people run the world for awhile. You’re tired of getting blamed and we’re tired of you.
damn straight
Poor white privilege
Then step aside old man-others will gladly take your perch who also have the balls for self reflection.
Lol was this a joke?
so sorry to hear about the weight your white male entitlement carries. it must be really hard...
I would be interested to know if he has ever raised a finger to help anybody else that was a non white male. I am guessing the answer is 'no'
He honestly has a point. People are automatically convicted if anyone yells metoo in their direction even without a trial. I agree that the white man has done a great deal of harm but do the son’s bear the sins of the father? We stand on a slippery slope.
White privilege absolutely exists. But the only people who obsess over it and talk about it are privileged white progressives who lecture other privileged white people about their privilege. Black folks, Latino folks, etc are too busy living their lives to obsess over this stuff.
Poor widdle victimized rich, White super-privileged man. It must be terrible to be held accountable for the sh*t he and others like him, have been free to do to non-White people and women for centuries. Must we help Gilliam find a therapist for his trauma. 🤣🤣🤣
And of course, he's going to be demonized and cancelled for speaking up.
There's a reason John Cleese doesn't like him, probably because of stuff like this
Terry no
Can he stfu and stop playing the victim for nothing there r real victims rn who has more rights to speak
He’s an American not British.
Two words for Terry Gilliam: Boo Hoo
Does he really feel tired walking around with the weight of being a white man and being witch-hunted? While I agree with him that there are individuals such as Aziz Ansari and Al Frankli, whose careers are unfairly ruined, I think the house-cleaning of toxic masculinity is just.
Poor thing 🙄🙄🙄
Pour one out for the real victims.
Hmmm wonder what he has to hide 🤔
Sis…
Imagine labeling yourself as one of the many hollywood pedos/groomers and abusers. R word alert
Porra, Terry!!!! NÃO
Not doing white men any favors this quote
I’m a white boy and my neck is red. I pour Miracle Whip on my Wonderbread.
But it's kinda true 😔
Why do powerful famous rich white men gotta say foolish things that taint their cultural productions? Terry please shut up. I’d like to keep enjoying some movies without being reminded you feel akkward some men are being held accountable for rape and sexual harassment.
Basically he’s guilty too🤪
White Supremacy in action
Whatever fool....
Someone needs to tell Terry, he will find relieve in identifying as an individual human that is only responsible for himself. Self-serving SJW hacks are powerless.
Smart man
He is 100% correct if you take the time to read his comments in full.
Good. White men are dangerous.
I agree. Men should respect all Real women . Men stop getting Dating Advice from Porn Sites .😀😇
The MeToo movement shouldn’t have you offended if you haven’t done some shady things, so this statement is quite telling.
White males shouldn’t be targeted as a whole some yes not all, however women have taken the blame for that fucking apple in that stupid garden for over 2000 yrs....so there’s that 🤷🏼♀️🤷🏼♀️🤷🏼♀️
👎👎👎👎👎👎
It is tiresome... we shall see after all this throwing what actually sticks in the end
White privilege is gross
Just say “no comment” next time
WOW. There is no witch hunt if you have nothing to hide. And no one is specifically blaming white males for this they were just always the offenders that got ignored in the past. 🙄 Such a stupid thing to say. Sexism isn’t going away it’s just finally just not being ignored! 💪🏻
SameHere
Poor white males😭
What a dope.
Oh, really? Go talk to your beloved Oprah Winfrey...She's taking down every black male entertainer.
then tell white men to stop being shitty. trust all of us, we're sick of it too.
Ok Zeppo
FU
Lock him up!
Hes right
