Action Drama Sci-Fi

8.0 / 10

Sam Lowry is a harried technocrat in a futuristic society that is needlessly convoluted and inefficient. He dreams of a life where he can fly away from technology and overpowering bureaucracy, and spend eternity with the woman of his dreams. While trying to rectify the wrongful arrest of one Harry Buttle, Lowry meets the woman he is always chasing in his dreams, Jill Layton. Meanwhile, the bureaucracy has fingered him responsible for a rash of terrorist bombings, and both Sam and Jill's lives are put in danger.

It was made in 1985, one year after 1984. I know that's not a coincidence. - @Thursday, January 17, 2019 2:44 AM

I don't even know if this movie is any good with that terrible title. Brazil? I think of football, tropical themes and dancing... - @Wednesday, December 12, 2018 6:48 PM

The government in the movie were the “terrorists”. they were the ones causing the explosions in order to back up why they need so much surveillance. There was never any real terrorists, hence why Sam’s love asks him “have you ever actually met a real terrorist?” - @Friday, March 2, 2018 5:02 AM

Triscele Criative

"Brazil" é uma referência à percepção de que no alvorecer da década de 80 o Brasil estava consumando o que Orwell havia previsto: totalitarismo político(a ditadura militar) + alienação midiática absoluta (a Rede Globo dominava 80% da audiência nacional - e a alegria da música, do futebol e do carnaval eram sua especialidade). A mesma idéia inspirou nos anos 90 o documentário "Muito além do Cidadão Kane" da BBC, desta vez o Brasil não era a consumação do pesadelo de Orwell, mas de Welles. Felizmente hoje, 31 anos depois, temos uma mídia plural e democrática que nem de longe aliena ou manipula a política no país, e inclusive devido a isto, tanto o filme quanto o documentário são amplamente conhecidos. "Brazil" is a reference to the perception that in the dawn of the 80's, Brazil(country) was consumating what Orwell had predicted: political totalirism(militar dictatorship) + absolute midiatic alienation (Globo Television dominated 80% of audience on that time - and the joy of music, football and carnival were it's specialities, from where lies the irony of the movie). The same idea inspired, in the 90's, the documentary "Beyond Citizen Kane" , of BBC, and this time Brazil weren't the consumation of Orwell's nightmare, but of Welles'. Nowadays, 31 years later, nor the movie, neither the documentary have any fame in Brazil, as they never had. I wonder why. - @Monday, August 8, 2016 10:21 PM
