So, Brazil.
Good movie, good cast. Watching for the first time might be overwhelming, can be easily lost in the quick, chaotic scenes, with their absurd content. Many details to notice, or to miss, depending.
The story itself is simple. As Wilson (from House MD) put it:
>boy meets girl, boy gets stupid, boy and girl live happily ever after
... well, "living" with a minor difference.
The circumstances, the garnish, so to speak, is quite elaborate however. Great amount of political charge - largely influenced by 1984 (no coincidence movie came out 1985).
I saw it some time ago (I think about 2007 or so), with this two rewatch of Saturday, I think I appreciate it the same, maybe a bit more.
