}} Terrence Vance "Terry" Gilliam (; born 22 November 1940)〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=BBC Music biography )〕 is an American-born British screenwriter, film director, animator, actor, comedian and member of the Monty Python comedy troupe. Gilliam has directed 12 feature films, including ''Time Bandits'' (1981), ''Brazil'' (1985), ''The Adventures of Baron Munchausen'' (1988), ''The Fisher King'' (1991), ''12 Monkeys'' (1995), ''Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas'' (1998), ''The Brothers Grimm'' (2005) and ''The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus'' (2009). The only "Python" not born in Britain, he became a naturalised British citizen in 1968 and formally renounced his American citizenship in 2006. ==Early life== Gilliam was born in Minneapolis, Minnesota, the son of Beatrice (née Vance) and James Hall Gilliam. His father was a travelling salesman for Folgers before becoming a carpenter. Soon after, they moved to nearby Medicine Lake, Minnesota. The family moved to the Los Angeles neighbourhood of Panorama City in 1952. Gilliam attended Birmingham High School where he was class president and senior prom king. He was voted "Most Likely to Succeed", and achieved straight A's. During high school, he began to avidly read ''Mad'' magazine, then edited by Harvey Kurtzman, which would later influence Gilliam's work. Gilliam later spoke to Salman Rushdie about defining experiences in the 1960s that would set the foundations for his views on the world, later influencing his art and career: I became terrified that I was going to be a full-time, bomb-throwing terrorist if I stayed (the U.S. ) because it was the beginning of really bad times in America. It was '66–'67, it was the first police riot in Los Angeles. () In college my major was political science, so my brain worked that way. () And I drove around this little English Hillman Minx—top down—and every night I'd be hauled over by the cops. Up against the wall, and all this stuff. They had this monologue with me; it was never a dialogue. It was that I was a long-haired drug addict living off some rich guy's foolish daughter. And I said, "No, I work in advertising. I make twice as much as you do." Which is a stupid thing to say to a cop. () Gilliam graduated from Occidental College in 1962 with a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science.〔("Terry Gilliam '62 Honored by British Film Academy" ), ''Oxy'', Occidental College, 9 February 2009〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Terry Gilliam」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
