I watched Brazil [1985]

'80s

Overall I found it to be a fantastic movie, with an aesthetic that's memorable and doesn't feel dated due to its theatrical feel.

A lot of skillful satire at times, too. The final act was a bit out of left field, yet very enjoyable and impactful nonetheless.

That song is still stuck in my head...

The Best Gilliam film, imo. I loved this one growing up, but for the longest time I thought it was an adaptation of 1984. When I finally got around to reading the Huxley novel, I was very confused.

I couldn’t finish it. The story was all over the place for me although I enjoyed the cinematography.

I really tried, guys

Finish it. It's worth the effort.

I tried very hard, for many years, to love this movie, but I think it's so overrated. There's nothing I find particularly compelling about the story, and the satire and social commentary is so over the top it seems goofy. Good, but not great.
