Sorry I had to cut out earlier. Yes. "Brazil" is quite a different film, and I detect quite a good deal of excellence within it. I practically staggered out of the theatre afterwards, and any film that can do that to me, yet leaving me happy and thoughtful, has to be quite good. I had a discussion with a friend on this film, a great friend from England. He is quite a Brazil fan and recently sent a rather significant Brazil package to me, with the movie (DVD and laserdisc) and quite a lot of other things. I put it in a chair in my study and ever since whenever I have walked past it I have sidestepped it as if it is radioactive. I am gathering courage, and no doubt soon will give it another try. How do you get the notion the film claims desire even ameliorates? I saw desire manifested in pipe dreams and fantasy, yes, but receiving a brutal throttling by reality. I have only seen the thing once, and thinking back suppose one can claim the film illustrates how desire ameliorates via fantasy. But was this the point? It seems to me the film concerns the notion of coping with futility, longing and despair by use of insanity. That last scene seems to make this so dreadfully clear. Mercy.
