BRAZIL: NOT YOUR USUAL DYSTOPIAN CINEMATIC SCENARIO


1984 gets revisited in a film that is a fantastic mess and a visual feast to boot. Hold on to your pants because the city is not alright in this one and the inhabitants may eat you. For reals, this movie is no joke and scared me on five levels. The finale, torture scene, brought me to my knees, when I found out his dream was not a reality. It was just another dream. The city I experienced in this film engulfed me like an East Berlin struggling to mature with new technology. New technology is dirty and Soviet rugged and the italian socialiast stance of the buildings themselves would have made Mussolini proud. Vincere would sit up in his grave and admire these stone works. The monolithic grave-buildings hold the living dead. The dead are invisible and the the alive are truly, fully dead. Or at least they are deadened to the world outside the stifling stinking technology.
Tonight is so dark....








Terry Gilliam's daughter delivering a cleverly crude comment:

'What can you say about Brazil? This masterpiece about love, escape from reality, and bureaucracy gone horribly wrong has been confusing audiences worldwide since 1985. Perhaps we should examine its origins with director/writer Terry Gilliam (of Monty Python fame), who spent months struggling with the head of Universal Studios, who wanted the entire film re-cut and given a more marketable ending. Thanks to Gilliam’s persistence, however, Brazil (in its original, unaltered form) will continue to mystify filmgoers for generations to come.'

'So what exactly is this movie, this paragon of befuddlement? Jonathan Pryce plays Sam Lowry, an office worker living in a nightmarish world of inefficient technology, miscommunication, paranoia, government conspiracies, and ducts. Lots of ducts. In a dazzling juxtaposition of fantasy and reality, his dreams seem to provide the only outlet for escape. Yes, there’s a girl. Yes, Robert DeNiro and Michael Palin also star in this film. And yes, one of Brazil’s IMDB plot keywords is “Breakfast Machine.” If you’re not intrigued yet, consider this: you don’t even need to fill out a 27B/6. What more could you ask for?'
