will on Brazil

i watch movies to be entertained, which this movie was very good at. However, i thought it was very confusing. I thought i had a good grasp on it in the beginning but as the movie progressed i founded it harder and harder to keep pace with what was going on. And i'm sorry to say that I'm still not completely sure why you showed this film to our class. Is postmodernism just all over the place and hard to keep up with? or is it like a weak attempt at showing what the future might be like? but one thing is for sure.. no straight guy would have dreams like sam, maybe thats why he chose the chick with the dude hair cut.

I don't think he's a homo dreaming of a beautiful woman finally choosing a the same "chick" with the "dude" hair cut...
I feel he dreamt of that beautiful woman, cuz that was what he wanted, his happiness, for others it could have been a canvas, or a journal, or a car or an opportunity to teach or praying for patience. What he got in reality was the complete opposite it seemed from the woman in his dreams, it was short hair, not long hair, tough and rude, not sweet and womanly, but all in all it was her, she just APPEARED a little different. I think that's one of the lessons packed into this heavy movie. We pray for patience, but we are blessed with an opportunity to practice patience, sometimes we can spot it, and sometimes we completely miss it.
