I knew of the "Brazillian" style and the character named Gilliam beforehand, and already in the trailer, I thought I saw a cameo of Terry's as a tailor with a tape measure (said short, silent cameo also looked like that in the film, but that's not what this is about). There's a bit of the story here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Snowpi...s._Gilliam
Now, I don't wanna spoil the film for you if you haven't seen it already, but if all these so-called "coincidences" aren't such, it's pretty much suggesting that Terry's rebellious attitude is just a pose by which he's basically backstabbing his fans because he's really a ruthless agent of the system he claims to be critizizing. As the link says at the top of the section, it's not just the character named Gilliam as today's old Terry, but also the character that kills him as young 80s Terry, with both really being on the side of the villanious system, deliberately dooming us by tricking us into playing into the system's hands.
