Perry Kate Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

Platicsco Good story, Not enough for a whole film

Beystiman It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.

Murphy Howard I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

Dalbert Pringle When it comes to riotously insane, 1980's cinema - You've really gotta see Terry Giliam's "Brazil" for yourself to actually believe it. You really do.This off-the-wall, cinematic roller-coaster ride into a retro-future is, without question, all about a "world-gone-mad" where endless bureaucracy has, literally, buried man, neck-deep, in a technological mess.The hilariously convoluted script of "Brazil" was clearly written (back in 1985) with some surprising foresight - As its story still retains its relevancy in these times of technological over-load that we find ourselves living in at present.Visually quite impressive - "Brazil" may not appeal to everyone's tastes - But, if nothing else - It is certainly a very unique movie-experience that is bound to draw the viewer into its nightmare world in no time flat.

Fletcher Conner Brazil is one of the strangest movies I have ever seen, yet it is not out of character for Terry Gilliam. Jonathan Pryce stars as a mid level bureaucrat in a dystopian world that is a cross between 1984 and the DMV. In this fiscally-conscious big brother government that charges prisoners for their interrogations, there is a form for everything and the bureaucracy dominates all aspects of life. The plot is meandering and plays second fiddle to the absurdist aspects of the movie.There are no likable characters, so there is no reason for the viewer to care what happens to anyone. There are a few interesting characters, namely Robert De Niro and Bob Hoskins as the two opposite sides of the central air repair business. Ultimately, not much actually happens, and a fair bit of what happens is simply absurd side plots that go nowhere and add nothing to the story.

rdoyle29 Gilliam's dystopian masterpiece is set in a near future where bureaucracy has taken over all aspects of life. Jonathan Pryce stars as an unambitious functionary who dreams of being a winged hero who saves a beautiful girl from monsters. While attempting to close off a case where the wrong man was arrested and murdered due to a typo, he meets this woman in real life. Gilliam constructs a labyrinthine satire about how technology and bureaucracy destroy everything that makes life good. The film's retro-1940s-noir-future look enhances the satire by filling the film with elaborate, near-useless archaic technology that hinders the characters at every turn. Pryce has never been better and is ably supported by a magnificent cast that includes Ian Holm, Michael Palin, Robert DeNiro and Bob Hoskins. One of the most inventive and surprisingly downbeat sci-fi films of the 80's.

eagandersongil The bureaucracy applied to the fiction that conveys the real, how wrong a science fiction movie that has as its theme the most boring thing in the world could go wrong? Many, did not give, quite the contrary, he can criticize at the same time that bothers and enchants for his wealth of detail and his ironic black humor completely enthralling. Terry Gilliam participated in the script of the film, which is said to be confused in his actions, but he is linear and despite creating a dystopian future austadoramente verosimílimo and incredible, where it shows the totality of a state on the market and its Society, sunk in bureaucracy, damaging public service, inhibiting private initiative, turning servers into numbers, demanding goals without working conditions, and living the paranoia of a terrorist attack, its future is appalling and annoying. - Who said the future will be fun? Within this universe we have Sam Lowry (Jonathan Pryce), a public servant who after falling in love with a woman turns out to be confused with a state enemy, Terry comes from month payton, so his humor is black, funny, rough and critical and completely Absurd, may even be swollen, but it is pleasant. Terry's criticism of the totality of the perfect state, for it shows the difficulty of small acts, beyond the search for love, lose of indignity amid state control, the absurd search for beauty, and control. With a gray photograph reminiscent of Blade Runner, he is almost sensuous in his cyberpunk aesthetic mixed with the ordinary, with a wealth of incredible detail reminiscent of "2001- A Space Odyssey" you notice the care of Terry and his team in Every minute of the movie, alias, the art direction of this film is something completely unbelievable, its soundtrack is also touching, and too much house with the movie, its rhythm talks and marries the screen. The performances in general I think weak, Jonathan Pryce even has its moments but does not get to excite Kim Greist is pessima and of niro does not pass feeling some, although its character is great. "Brazil" can be fat, and you will feel the time, but admire the beauty of your art direction and contemplate a complete and sensational criticism putting itself as one of the best black humor movies I have ever seen in my life.
