Brazil

I really liked this movie because of the way it made you feel. Sometimes the movie made you pissed off and frustrated at what was happening and sometimes it made you laugh at what was happening. The structure of the movie was very chaotic and at no point did you really know what was going on. It seemed that the movie was trying to show that obeying the system is not always the best thing to do. Somtimes it's good to be independant. In the movie, their world had so much order that it backfired and made everything very unorderly and it seemed that nothing really went the way it should of. In the end of the movie, the main character is sitting in the chair and he is about to be tortured but Robert Dinero comes and saves him. Then you find out that he really wasn't saved and that he is still in the torture chamber. I like the ending because it leaves you thinking. You never really know whether the whole movie was in his head or if all of it really did happen.

You never really know...

This sounds not unlike the ending of Branes' novel. Good post!
