When Graham finally sobered up, he did an amazing speaking tour that came to the little community college just outside Chicago where I was working lights and sound for concert events. It was maybe 1981, I was 20 years old and had been loving the Pythons for half my life. And when I couldn't help but do my impression of Cleese's preamble to the Cheese Shop sketch "...curtailing my Walpoling activities..." as we were loading up equipment after the show, Chapman (whom I didn't see as I was hustling those cases) stopped and said, "Who is that absurd person?" An hour later, I found myself at an after-party with the great man, and I joined the queue at the small chess table where Graham had ensconced himself. He smiled when I sat down, remarking, "Oh, it's you again." Three moves into our "match," he took the pipe out of his mouth and said, "You don't actually play chess, do you?" When I snorted a loud laugh and shook my head, he said, "Well, just keep on pretending and no one will notice as you pry me with your devious questions." I got to talk to one of my true idols, one to one, for a good 15 minutes. One of the happiest days of my life.

To all who call him a traitor or a tax dodger. The main reason is that he hated the way American politics was going (i.e run by rightwing sociopaths). He had dual citizenship for years, paid tax in both countries for years - but finally felt that he didn't want to be American any more. And why should he pay tax in both countries, leaving his wife with much less, if he's sick of the way one is run and has renounced citizenship? Concentrate on all your corporations that dodge tax every day.

That being the case if he should die then his wife and kids in Britain would have to sell their house (as well as other family things of valve) to PAY ALL THAT AMERICAN BACK TAX, and like he said that's just NOT FAIR to his family that if he should die they would find themselves in large debt to the county of his birth and NOT THEIRS!

Traitor? Tax dodger? That's how America began, folks. Remember? And now America is the new England, taxing its citizens without representation. Because both parties have become power-mad greed-heads. Want to do something about it? What? How? Start a violent revolution? Good luck. Terry Gilliam is only a film maker, not a politician, or revolutionary. I haven't seen a Terry Gillam movie since 12 Monkeys. Not his best. In fact, it's one of my least favorite time travel movies, ever. Give me The Fisher King any day. Not to mention Brazil. When I first heard he wanted to film Don Quixote, I groaned. But just learned it's called, The Man Who Killed Don Quixote, based on the book, loosely. Which is a good sign. Brazil was based on 1984 only loosely. A book he said, he never actually read. Is it hoping too much Terry has never actually read the Cervantes novel?

No comprendo cómo puede evaluarse el desempeño profesional de un individuo interponiendo sus convicciones ideológicas. Primero, casi todos esos juicios están dados desde una perspectiva antropocéntrica, y por tal, fuertemente subjetiva. Volviendo, fue el creador de filmes tan destacados y admirados en países, principalmente Occidentales, con un gran gusto por el cine como el mío, a decir, Argentina (no digo "buen cine", digo "cine" a secas, puesto que no quiero que suene contradictorio y adentrarme en una discusión axiológica). De hecho sus filmes no solo ilustran o nos ayudan a comprender con cierto grado de relevancia el pensamiento de aquel tiempo, sino que también han sido motor de nuevas discusiones y teorías del pensamiento, ligadas a la concepción del hombre sobre los regímenes y su aceptación/resignación, al concepto de "libertad", o a la comprensión (o no) de la locura. Películas como Brazil, 12 Monos o Pánico y locura en Las Vegas son abrazadas por la crítica hasta hoy, y motivo de colección en cualquier videoteca.

The GOOD thing about america, in fact the main GREAT thing about america is the number who don't respond with such balderdash and actually have the freedom to try to change that. Consider how the chinese are lobbying for labour rights-by doing videos saying "in case I disappear". But people really shouldn't mistake the politics of a country for the country itself. All over the world governments have essentially been taken over and no longer represent their constituents-and thats just as true in Great Britain as it is in the United States.

+gurgy3 i don't believe he really wanted because of his opinions on america , i think generally he did it for tax reasons, sinse he lives in london or whatever and has for decades it just easier, basically when he dies his family would get a big tax bill.

+gurgy3 He doesn't get to vote here anymore. That's really all you'd need to satisfy. If we told Brits they should stay out of our politics and they agreed to... the internet would go silent.

So that means YOUR opinions on any International politics are irrelevant, you only get to have an opinion on American politics? Do you realise how utterly stupid your comment is? Do you realise comments like this, by Americans like you, are why so many people loathe Americans?

Terry, you're a grand director; I immensely enjoy your style and your scripts. Too bad your politics makes you sound like a typical Hollywood moron ... Even though you seem to hate Hollywood. Ironic. You're only "away" from Hollywood geographically, but you very much fit in when it comes to talking about America. If it ain't your money you're investing in your movies, expect those that do have it to be very critical about where it goes and who it goes to. It's called BUSINESS, Terry. You should've learned & accepted that by now. Movie making ain't all about artsy movies. There's something called profit.

You're asking an artist to drop the art and become a businessman, but without the artist, the businessman has nothing to sell. Additionally, I'm sure many people would renounce their citizenship if they had the means. It's not such a crazy idea to not want to be American anymore. What's the benefit? You're a wage slave with limited freedoms and fewer choices in a dwindling class with little to no hope of improving your economic lot in life PLUS the world hates you because of your government's imperialism. So really, what's so crazy about renouncing your citizenship?

"Too bad your politics makes you sound like a typical Hollywood moron ... Even though you seem to hate Hollywood. Ironic." You just proved what a Flag waving dolt you are. You ascribe his UTTERLY common sense views to the same Hollywood that you then go on to admit he has no use for!! Careful you don't get friction burns on your knob pumping your flag in blind fervour.

Not wanting his wife and children to have to sell his property to pay the estate taxes that would be owed to a country he doesn't reside in any longer and had not for 40 years seems like a pretty fucking good reason to me.

As someone who lives abroad, paying taxes to the US while not even living there is a massive pain in the ass. I know that Terry threw politics into his decision as well, but the tax reason alone made it a good decision, especially since he doesn't even live there.
