But in the interview, Gilliam also makes the mistake of using the Frankenstein's Castle analogy when talking about mob rule. In the story, Frankenstein literally created a monster. Witch hunts are about innocent people being persecuted for crimes they didn't commit. Gilliam's comments about "a world of victims" showed a lack of empathy and his comments about "a night with Weinstein" normalizes the problem, which undoes any points he had. I'd like to read a full transcript of the interview, or hear him clarify his argument, but right now all we have to go on is the original interview from the AFP website. It doesn't help that the interview is getting cherry-picked by the Hollywood Press and elsewhere.
