Brazil af Terry Gilliam
1869
A man in a bureaucratic dystopia obsesses over a woman from his dreams.
I used to think this movie was great, but I can't figure out why. Maybe it was just because I loved other Gilliam movies, so I thought I should love it. Or maybe it's the same reason that every young person who hasn't read too many books thinks 1984 is the best thing ever. In any case, I was pretty bored watching this yesterday. The visuals are great, but they rarely actually contribute to the storytelling. There are some great scenes, mostly when it's being silly, and some great acting from Holm and Palin (meanwhile, De Niro is pretty bad), but the story just doesn't make a lot of sense if you think about it too much.
Concept: B

Enjoyment: C plus
GPA: 2.9/4… (mere)

An amazingly prescient film. ...Truth is information. ...Liberty. Equality. Fraternity. Information...be alert, some terrorists look normal...trust in security. This is too scary for words.
