This movie seems to get a lot of love from fans and has gotten cult status but... for some reason i can't see the greatness that is Brazil (which i have heard a lot about). I have tried to watch it twice but both times i have quit. Can someone explain to me what's so great about it?
btw my first message board :)
You must have seen the “Love Conquers All” version.
shareIt's not a movie for simple minds, that's for sure.
shareI love this movie and saw it in the theater when it was first-run. The box office had a hand-written sign that said the film's sound is intentionally loud, be forewarned. Probably the closest they could come to Sense Surround, as this is a little old art house that used to be a church. Great little theater in Eugene, the Bijou.
shareOn my first viewing I wasn't overly impressed but Brazil is a movie that has grown on me with subsequent watches... I am very glad I gave it a second chance because it's a one of a kind film, I guess a flawed masterpiece, and visually it's a stunner.
shareI may have posted this elsewhere recently, but I was thrilled when I saw Brazil in the theater when it was new. Recently I caught it on television and it really did not catch fire the way it had originally.
I still think it's a fabulous film but it may be a bit dated and creaky. I hate saying this because for years it has been one of my favorite experiences at the movies.
Williams work is jarring. I feel this one was almost as smooth as Time Bandits, but it's transitions are still a little harsh. It's still much better than Brothers Grimm.

shareSurrealism isn't for everyone. You do something unrealistic and some people want an explanation.
