I don’t get it why did that Incel release the virus?
It's one of the greats.
Also, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cassandra_(metaphor)
It's so intense when she falls down the very hole she used to talk about. Great acting, Bruce too. Brad is ok.

The ginger was an wackjob environmentalists working at a virology lab.
The other wackjob environmentalist was the son of the director/boss of the virology lab so he was the prime suspect, but it turns out it was the ginger and the son had nothing to do with it.
Isn't he caught in a perpetual loop of a miserable existence because witnessing his own death is what starts his path in life?
Grim
he's not caught in a loop, he lives exactly once like everybody else
they could have solved a lot more problems if they sent info to hitler on how to build nukes
the movie literally hits you over the head over and over with "you can't change the past"
you can send people to the past but they were always there. nothing changes
It's not a loop. Him witnessing his own death doesn't have any bearing on the path he ends up being railroaded down, it's just a poetic depiction of how we're all born with the knowledge of our own mortality & trying to live with it & live decently. It's the Peoples (both or just one of the couple? I forget) using a genre story to describe aspects of the human experience in a pulpy-yet-arty way same as Blade Runner. Gilliam's execution isn't perfect but idk why this movie confuses people.
I think Terry Gilliam movies are mostly there to vibe with, trying to fully understand it is somewhat missing the point. I think the reason Brazil is so fondly remembered: because it strikes the right balance of absurd Gilliam vibes with a thought-provoking, open-ended story that makes you strain to understand, but you still feel that there is something there to understand, and the movie isn't just weird for its own sake or because that's what people expect out of a Terry Gilliam flick.
It's the life of a lab rat. Unsung hero of the human race is some loser on a doomed mission who never had a life of his own & there's some soppy existentialism in the mix. Standard stuff for a Peoples screenplay. I'm shocked by how many people don't understand the ending, it's an extremely simple time travel film than runs on the most basic, deterministic rules possible. Quite sweet in places but very bleak.

It's pretty straightforward, what didn't you get?
Love this movie. Wish they still made stuff like it.
It's one of the greats.

Bruce was amazing in this. Wish he actually had more good performances like this
watch Moonlighting

not that complicated
Who was the ginger and why did he do it?

The guy on the plane at the end

I don't know. Apparently I'm a half wit

>I didn't get it, and I'm 6'3".
but a mental midget
they could have solved a lot more problems if they sent info to hitler on how to build nukes
i actually am 6'3
explain the 6'3 joke to me
6'4" and a half here...
it's just to make manlets know their place.
manlets started talking shit again.
i’m 6’5” you need to watch your tone
im a 8'3 nephilim and i heard somebody was talking shit
need to be under 6' to understand
Ah. Now I see. Oh well. Guess this is just one of those movies that isn't for me.
one of my top favorite movies <3
least annoying Willis and pure gold Pitt
Really weird movie, feels dirty, it's great tho
6’3” manlets are insufferable
