Brazil

JANUARY 17, 2003

It is so obvious to see this movie is by the same mind that created 12 Monkeys. That is a good thing, for me at least. I really liked the film and it completely reminded me of Delicatessen. In fact, if I had seen Brazil first, it probably would have the same profound effect that Delicatessen had.* Moving on, the story here is great and is unbelievably pertinent. It is about a society that is run by a ridiculously bureaucratic government and one man's attempt to both survive and track down a woman he falls for. It is most certainly a comedy, but the similarities to our real lives is a bit eerie. Another recommended film.

*Delicatessen was one of the first movies to really open my eyes to the world of film. I had always enjoyed movies, but after this one I started to fall in love.
