wow I want 2 hours of my life back. actually I couldn't get past the singing telegram part. it should be a funny gag but it's just embarrassing instead.

You can disagree with the position the film takes, but Brazil still presents its themes and ideas it in a coherent and aptly structured way, which is what a film should do. Don't be a little baby just because you didn't like it.
No the entire movie is about escapism you fricking dummard. The name is a reference to a song that was chosen for its escapist nature. The main character spends the movie throwing his life away chasing a day dream and eventually goes insane.
This is one of those movies that people name drop but never actually watched.
I remember some girl I was talking to at a bar brought it up and said it was her favorite. Within 10 minutes she admitted to me that she has never seen the whole thing and only saw bits from YT commentaries, but said that must mean it was good.
>talking to women about movies >talking to women at all
brazil is a good movie, i've seen it multiple times. robert de niro and the guy from monty python are in it, its from the director of Fear and Loathing, people will have seen it.
I can see where the other anon is coming from, it is one of those films that pseuds like to pretend to care about. But that isn't the films fault in any way and it's still kino.
Because pseuds think sad endings are le deep and happy endings are le not deep, when in truth neither is in itself better and it depends on the film, but in the case of Brazil it's obvious that it has to end tragically.
You are correct, anon.
It's shilled here as the greatest Gilliam, when it's really, really not. Baron Munchausen or Time Bandits holds that spot, with this way down the totem pole at the bottom.
There's a reason more people don't know about this movie. It's not because it is great.

Zoomers can't be stimulated without loud noises and rapid meth-shizoid editing.
zero theorem was kinda 'eh'. so was the man who killed Don quixotic actually. his films suffer from having no narrative through line, too often he goes off on a tangent and it's incredibly unsatisfying. he's still great at the craft of filmmaking but he needs writers, or better writers.
it's good because it is visionary and takes you to another world. The story is very 1984 but it is a visual treat. My favourite is de niro's character getting attacked with paper until he is overwhelmed and vanishes into thin air. what about the main guy's dream sequences or the torture scene.
the song is forever stuck in me head
Why is Biden in the front cover of a 1985 movie
Why not?

Probably because the specific brand of bureaucracy portrayed in this movie is exclusive to Britain. Dolt.
no it's not. the movie is just fricking stupid. It tries to be funny but isn't. It tries to be meaningful but isn't.
why terry gilliam such a fricking hack?
You're a brainlet
Black person
Jesus Christ, how to miss the point of a movie. Its about escapism.
He wasn't asking for "the point" of the movie just what's good about it. Escapism is one more of several themes in it you dunce
No the entire movie is about escapism you fricking dummard. The name is a reference to a song that was chosen for its escapist nature. The main character spends the movie throwing his life away chasing a day dream and eventually goes insane.

It isn't really hard to watch, why would people pretend to like it? I think it's a good satire about absurdity of bureaucracy at the very least
my mother knows way more about film than 99.9% of Cinemaphile
The ending left me feeling hollow.
The ending was brilliant, it's a shame that Gilliam had to fight so hard for it.
>named Brazil
>Has nothing to do with Brazil
if only the same could be said about Brazil the country
Cope
cope is the motto of every sudaca shitskin, yes
Europeans love shitty and depressing endings for some reason
Because pseuds think sad endings are le deep and happy endings are le not deep, when in truth neither is in itself better and it depends on the film, but in the case of Brazil it's obvious that it has to end tragically.
To be human is suffering. It's something we all can relate to. Midwits like you who think you're above it for some reason doesn't make you special.
ok moron
how do you know what suffering is, if you don't also know joy? checkmate
Because it fitted the story? The American ending while comfy it was unrealistic and dumb
Boring movie that's too long for such a simple and banal message

movie is kino, y'all didn't fill out your 27B stroke 6 forms correctly. amateurs. they're a bit of a stickler for paperwork after all.
Didn't care for it. Art works best when it's subtle.
I was lucky to watch this in IMAX in late 2019 or early 2020 (can't remember) for the first time. What a great movie.
it's a 100/10, gilliam made exactly the movie he wanted to make. think i'll watch it again and again until you throw up
Probably my favorite movie of all time.
>movies is called Brazil
>doesn't actually take place in Brazil
brazil isn't real bro
It's named after that reoccurring song that plays in the film, which was made in Brazil
Has Gilliam ever done a movie that isn't fantastic? How is Don Quixote? Did it ever come out?
zero theorem was kinda 'eh'. so was the man who killed Don quixotic actually. his films suffer from having no narrative through line, too often he goes off on a tangent and it's incredibly unsatisfying. he's still great at the craft of filmmaking but he needs writers, or better writers.
it has a cool truck 🙂

Brazil
our hearts stood entertaining june
we stood beneath an amber moon
and softly murmured some day soon
>wake up
>still living in Brazil
Wish it was the one with bunda tbh.
i started this last night. it is pretty grim but a spectacle to behold, 8/10 on my enjoyment scale so far will finish tonight.
Yep I'm thinking it an 11/10
It was good but I don't understand why it's praised so highly, it's just Terry Gilliam doing 1984
It's a 10/10 to me and I'm not bri'ish
