Completely Confused!!

To be honest, I really didn't understand this movie at all. I entered halfway into it, and the first scene I saw was his room covered in exposed piping. The characters were dressed weird and the scenery was really out there, so I couldn't help but be completely bewildered. As the movie progressed however, it became more and more intriguing. I could tell that the plot was playfully bouncing between reality and fantasy. This part of the movie I didn't fully understand until the very end when Sam had a wild fantasy of escaping with his dead beloved through the bottom of a coffin and off into a beautiful billboard landscape, when in reality his mind was being broken by the torture. As far as sci-fi movies go, I thought Brazil was interestingly filmed and its setting oddly charming. The office scene, where the twenty men follow the head of the floor around, is pretty interesting when the office people go behind pillars and disappear: reappear, disappear. I will have to go back and watch the entire movie so that the intricate plot makes sense.
