Terry Gilliam Tideland Interview

[TheNewVideos]

a total wast of time. This movie was just unhealthy I would say. It had scenes that make U aks -why? Even for art - why?

It is a sick movie and makes me question the author.

[staphinfection]

Half the audience will not like it, and half will really love it.... Exactly true. Gilliam is the man!

[brozeiy]

I need help as an independent filmmaker, if anyone would care to help in a small way please search "Brozeiy's activist flick"

[thirdshift47]

For anyone that ever had a childhood in which having living people around never mattered,simply because their imagination was too unfettered,they got this movie from the moment the little girl moved into the abandoned house with her father.

[transfixedtornado]

the movie is really strange, I loved most of it, but there is this whole mumification sequence toward the latter 2/3rds which is pushing the envelope -

somehow Gilliam has this instinct of penetration - he doesn't really know when to stop and leave the mystery alone.

Too bad - Tideland could have been my favourite movie ever - I really loved most of it, especially the ending.

[aksanaandreuber]

I love it what can I say! one of my favorite movies. I thnk with me Terry got what he wanted his direction of this movie makes me want to be a child again and look at adults life from a totally different perspective that I do now: with no experiences, no lessons, no fear, no facts, no ties...

[maddash24seven]

I love his comment about men being ashamed at being attracted to a 9 year old.

[BunnyMan456]

and that's what we call a freudian slip

[wigginsdesign]

Starting with Brazil, Terry has completely tapped into my own need for reaching a film experience that completely takes me to another level, realm, universe of creativity and imagination. Now my expectations are too high to be completely satisfied except when I see his film and of those you've been influenced by his work like Jeunet (City of Lost Children). As well as the greats like Cocteau, Felinni, Herzog & Leone.

[lordporro]

It´s the best film(actual)I´ve saw long time ago. thanks you very much.A very diferent way of terror. Absolut Terror. sonia toran . spain , she is lordporros girldfriend.

[blitzkrieg686]

WOW.. he really opend a gateway to reality.. for adults

[27106204]

Enjoy your two tatami mats and 25000 Yen a month. Or are you sleeping under a bridge? Ha! Ha! Ha!

[27106204]

He was just one in a long procession of yanks who desperately wanted to be English (Theroux, Bryson, etc). I think the fact that he wasn't one always excluded him from Python to a certain degree because he couldn't do the accent and therefore became just the 'drawing boy'. Good to see he's found a niche. His individual films are great. He's better as director than a faux-Englishman.

[pecorino69]

i thought Americans were yanks and Canadians were Kanooks...or is it the other way around. i dunno i'm no good at name calling...

[27106204]

You thought right. Gilliam was born in Minneapolis in 1940. Your point being......................?

[pecorino69]

my point being you are a stalker and i'm just some dumb fok that hates english assholes...

[27106204]

Lay off the Gekkeikan, man. You make no sense.

[pecorino69]

i know...i just dont like you fokin people...

[27106204]

Nice one, Cheeseboy. What the fuck is a wop engineer doing in Japan? Run out blocked toilets in Cabrini Green? St Antony-medallion-wearing-wanna­bee-Soprano idiot. Learn to FUCKING spell.

[pecorino69]

makin money muthafoka! makin money...sopranos is tv show for Teabaggers like you to feel left out! hahahahaha you wish you american but your grandad didnt have the balls to over onda boat.

[27106204]

Like anyone in the UK gives a fuck about your third-world, "no capiche, no speeky the Eeeenglish" shithole country. (ie: wopland). A nation of cowards who tried to co-operate with Hitler because you were all too scared to fight him. Italy must be the only country in the world where the men and women both have pussies.

[pecorino69]

hahahahahahaha i like your come backs Tea bagg, you people still think the world should bow to the queen, the golden age is over foknutz, churchhill is dead, and monty was an under cover faggot that loved lil boyz, i like getting a rize outta you arrogant assholes...

[isocaos]

si:

terry Guilliam es Dios

bella y extraña pelicula

No:

no es la mejor pelicula de terry , la mejor es brazil

[pecorino69]

oh si? entonces la tengo que ver!...oy la voy a rental...gracias...

[lehanh1648]

No es la mejor pelicula para nadie.

[wigginsdesign]

This movie is deeply moving, bizarre, disturbing and very intelligent. This sad yet intriguing film again shows Terry bold imaginative skillful talent in creating risky and provocative work. I want to be nystified, challenged and tranformed as a viewer and not spoonfed all the answers. Terry does it for me everytime.

[grovestreetthug]

i agree, Brazil is #2 of my all time favorite films, next to the meaning of life haha!!

Know what happened to his arm? Or what will ever happen with don quixote?

[Harvey2face123]

Check IMDb, he's reviving Don Quixote.

[BEATNIKCASS]

if terry had known about ME when casting Don Quixote, he'd have saved a million bucks.

[prayfertrey]

I think I know what he was *trying* to do with this movie, but for me it didn't work. I remember what it was like to be young and have experiences that introduced me to the "strangeness of the world"; but those experiences are weird and surreal enough on their own and I think making a film that is surreally stylized undermines the attempt to portray that strangeness and get it across to an audience. So it was lost on all except those who want to say, "I get it" so they'll sound smart.

[lehanh1648]

you are a genius, you hit it right on the nail

[Oddmartian2]

Well, the whole movie is seen through the eyes of a child...that's why it's so surreal.

[prayfertrey]

Eh, I loved Brazil, but this movie just seem hopelessly pretentious, like a Tim Burton film. Trying to be EVAR so "dark" and "deep", with a tinking xylophone in the back ground, phphphphphp. I think a lot of over grown teens with overly long black bangs stood in line to see this movie. Indeed, this movie seems to suffer from the adult not remembering what it was like to be a kid, but assuming it must be a "world of magic and wonder and interacting with dolls as if they're real". Eck.

[jamasiel]

What's even better is when a random dork on the internet thinks they can play Jr. Psychoanalyst on other people they've never met based on how they perceive a movie.

[prayfertrey]

I am not random!

[ezekieloak]

Well you are not very deterministic either, are you?

[prayfertrey]

One thing I enjoyed about the movie is that it does scare people (that I've watched it with). That always makes me laugh. Still, I do know what Gilliam was attempting to do, and in this movie, it didn't work for me. I guess I'd have done it differently. That's how I felt after the movie. And bits of it felt hopelessly artsy (while other bits were brilliant).

[Lemonio42]

no its a good movie.

not as good as brazil, but its the same thing as brazil. how people deal with their lives and their dreams

[00specialEdition00]

i agree. she thinks, everything is normal, even when his father dies and this ugly woman makes a "puppet" outa him... thats really surreal.

[Thorny4Thorne]

beautiful strange movie.

[TulseLuper]

Gilliam's best film.

[ppriess]

gilliam is god

;-)

[lehanh1648]

that explains it

[Yasko3]

This movie is amazing! And it really does follow the book well, something very hard to do in a 90 minute movie. Gilliam is one of those rare directors who can take a low budget with a story line that most directors wouldn't touch, and make a true masterpiece. Watch the movie, but keep an open mind - it contains all sorts of taboo, sex, drug overdose, and taxedermied corpses....from the viewpoint of an inocent 11 year old's imagination.

[DIABLADIABLA]

I love this movie! Human soul art, amazing!

[boerni1976]

is that little girl not the same like in School of Rock?

[padseenoodle]

I love Gilliam, but couldn't they find a little girl with a real Southern accent?

[thegoodnick]

It's a good film. Dickens is great, he has hair prettier than my mom's.

[hexwarp]

terry gilliam is dope.

[miros81]

Gilliam > *

[Bambypamby]

I love fantasy movies and I can say I'm a real fan of Terry Gilliam.

I was shocked by a scoop in a movie-related website in my country saying my Gilliam went out in New York carried a sheet written 'STUDIO-LESS FILM MAKER | FAMILY TO SUPPORT | WILL DIRECT FOR FOOD'.

I know it might be the last chance of him to promote his new movie "Tideland".

But the way he did it...made me shocked.

I'm dying to see this movie.

I wish I were in US now so I can support him.

Go on Gilliam! ^^

[coryr77]

Gilliam is the ONLY MAN!

[analord]

i want to see this movie so bad

[latia12]

me 2

[jimmynmu]

gilliam is the man
