Love it. The "studio ending" makes it even more Orwellian, to the point I wonder if they did that on purpose. (Can that much competence be true?)

one of my all-time favorites! ...aaand this is my receipt, for your receipt.

Wonderful movie, but good god is it long and hard to watch at times

So is life

Settle down Nietzsche its going to be okay.

Exactly, the first thing that comes to mind.

Alas, watching Gilliam's other films gets more and more difficult, even though he tries to make the same movie again and again, for almost forty years now. But ‘Brazil’ was a home run on the first attempt.

Yes, Time Bandits was just an attempt to remake Brazil. So was Imaginarium. /s

‘Time Bandits’ was before, so it's the other way around.

Besides, you might be unfamiliar with the fact that Gilliam referred to ‘Bandits’, ‘Brazil’ and ‘Munchausen’ as a trilogy about the same thing. Which trilogy evidently ended up having at least nine films in it, excepting ‘F&L’ and me having not watched ‘Quixote’ yet (the latter's theme obviously follows the rest, though).

As for a full-on remake: that's ‘Zero Theorem’. I can only guess that Gilliam lost hope in the subtler approach, and wanted to have at least something new that would get out of ‘Brazil’'s shadow. Which didn't work at all.

Perhaps Tom Stoppard is the missing ingredient.

Thought we were better than doing /s here.

In this case, it's a shorter version of "here are counter-examples to your assertion".

"Brazil"
