The Fisher King and 12 Monkeys director Terry Gilliam is facing backlash from Hollywood after comments he made about disgraced media mogul Harvey Weinstein, sexual harassment and the #MeToo movement resembling "mob rule." He added: "It's like when mob rule takes over, the mob is out there. Terry Gilliam’s comments about Harvey Weinstein are idiotic and dangerous. Gilliam told Agence France-Presse Friday that when it came to his views about #MeToo, even his wife had warned him to "keep my head a bit low." But he argued abuse of power has always been pervasive in Hollywood and that "power always takes advantage."
