Brazil
At first this movie makes not much sense. When you sit down and really interpret what you have watched it starts to make sense. He is a government employee stuck with his job, and escapes it by dreaming into a fanasty world of love and adventure. Which I believe is where the title Brazil comes from. He flys over beautiful greenlands. His life just gets increasingly worse, they accidentally kill Buttle in mistake of a man Tuttle. They kill him because Tuttle is a terrorist and the system mixes up the names. In the end killing an innocent man and letting a guilty one roam free. This mistake helps out Sam. In the end I begin to believe that he might be schizophrenic. When he is at the chair in the middle of the room Tuttle comes down to save him. But before the credits he is still in the chair. So maybe he had one of his spacy dreams while he was going to be interrogated. The ministry is basically a giant office that runs everything. It is efficient and everything gets done, except for when the workers watch TV. The ministry is like a government that cannot be overthrown. If something breaks or if someone complains they have to get a lot of paperwork to get something simple accomplished. For example when Jill goes into to complain, they tell her she has the wrong papers and she needs to get them stamped. In numerous plot analogies of this movie, they all say its dark comedy. I did not find anything funny about this. This was directed by the same guy who did Monty Python and the Flying Circus. Brazil really was not funny it was just bizarre and strange.
