Brazil (1985) is a weird movie...really weird, and not all in good ways.
It takes place in a dystopian future that is not too far from the present day. And the dystopian aspects of the movie I liked. But it took off in totally random directions, and with stupid scenes, that really ruined the good aspects of the film.
A type of thought police keep the population in check, but there is a faction of terrorists that want to ruin this totalitarian regime. The hero is just a quiet man, who falls in love, in his dreams with a real woman, who may be part of the terrorist group. All this is laid on top of Monty Python-ish humor, and weird visuals, that seem more like a muppet movie than a real film.
And I still do not know what the name of the movie represents.
Look, if this is free on late night TV some time, and you have insomnia, I wouldn't miss it. Otherwise, take a pass.
