Terry Gilliam, a master artist who has overcome many challenges.

People praise Terry Gilliam's movies without hesitation, calling them ``outlandish!'' An outlandish worldview, surreal laughter, straightforward characters, and overflowing imagination...his extraordinary splendor has remained unchanged since the days of Monty Python. The way he continues to pursue creativity with an originality that overwhelms others is almost divine.

As you know, he has faced enormous challenges every time he has attempted to make a film. For `` Brazil '' (1985), there was a conflict with the studio, for `` The Adventures of Baron Munchausen '' (1988), the budget ballooned rapidly, and for `` Terry Gilliam's Don Quixote '' (18), it was also released in the 1990s. At one point, production was halted.

However, he never gives up. What's amazing about Gilliam is that when he encounters trouble, he becomes furious at the unreasonableness of it, and with adrenaline flowing through his body, he tries to climb out with extraordinary vitality. In this way, he will demonstrate his artistry that far surpasses the walls that stand in his way, bravely fight, and overcome. This indomitable artist's spirit is astounding.

However, when Gilliam received news of the sudden death of lead actor Heath Ledger during the production of ``The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus'' (2009), he was so shocked that he became deeply depressed.

They had just finished filming in London. The final shot was of Ledger jumping into a crumbling carriage and turning the corner of the street and leaving. Who would have imagined that this would be his final appearance captured on camera? Just two days later, Ledger died in New York, where he was staying, with two-thirds of the film still to be filmed.
