Brazil https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/e/e9/Brazil_%281985_film%29_poster.jpg Dir: Terry Gilliam Genre: Fantasy Year: 1985 Brazil is yet another black comedy attempting to augur a vaguely dystopian future society, replete with all of the hilarious madness of Monty Python alum Terry Gilliam. Unlike Network, this isn't as much of a satire of groupthink as it relates to media, but more about groupthink as it relates to bureaucracy and government overreach--a subject that's near and dear to my heart! In keeping with Gilliam's style, Brazil is a very fun and somewhat whimsical adventure despite the bleakness of its theme. He does a fantastic job of blending social commentary with a genuinely thrilling story and fantastical setting; and like his other films, you will be left unsure of which part of the film is "real" and which is merely a dream or delusion of our protagonist. --- "A more mature answer than I expected."~ Jakyl25 "Sephy's point is right."~ Inviso ...
