The movie Brazil was very odd. In the beginning I could not understand a thing that was going on. It was kind of like Flaubert's Parrot in the fact it jumped around, and I really had no clue what was going on. For instance, it would jump around from Sam's dreams to his actual life without really giving any reason as to why Sam was having those dreams until the end of the movie. However, atleast Brazil had a noticable plot closer to the beginning. I started to get into the movie when he saw that girl, and began to almost hunt for her due to the fact he was convinced she was the girl in his dreams. This is when I realized that his dreams and his life connected for him. Not only did he go against what he said about not ever accepting a promotion, but he also went around the rules and guidelines to find this girl. Apparently the society he lived in and the work that he did did not please him enough, and he started to realize that it was a corrupt society. Therefore, I believe that is why Sam "left" them at the end of the movie. He realized that living in his fantasies was much more appealing and rewarding then living in such a place as he had been. To him his fantasies made sense, and the outside world no longer did.
