Were Time Bandits, Brazil and Baron Muchaussen a trilogy ??

[AdamBrunt]

Hi all,

Odd question I know but I was just listening to the director's commentary on "Jonah: A Veggie Tales movie" and on it, it was claimed that the above had been confirmed by Terry Gilliam ??

Apparently it represents man's journey through life; Time Bandits - child, Brazil - 'adulthood' and Baron Munchaussen - old age.

Can anyone confirm or deny this ??

Regards,

I seem to remember Gilliam saying something about this on the Lost in laMancha documentry.

From IMDB's triva section on Munchausen...

Forms an informal trilogy with director Terry Gilliam's previous films, Time Bandits (1981) and Brazil (1985). The three movies represent the three stages of Man (youth, middle age, and elderly) and the impact of imagination on each.
