Abstract
This study aims at investigating the representation on
‘paranoia’ in the films, 12 Monkeys (1995), Brazil (1985),
The Adventures of Baron Munchausen (1989), and Fear and
Loathing in Las Vegas (1998), by Terry Gilliam. The paranoid
state in the films come into being both in the digesis and in
the journey from Terry Gilliam’s vision to the audience.
Hence, the movement of paranoia within and out the elements
of cinema are taken into consideration.
