The fears of Brazil are not so much that the world is spinning out of control because of the system. Because the system is us.

What Brazil is really about is that the system isn't great leaders, great machinating people controlling it all. It's each person performing their job as one little cog in this thing. And Sam chooses to stay a little cog and ultimately he pays the price for that."

---Terry Gilliam (6/29/91)



Brazil is a film which rolls up many of the problems of the century into one big plot: industrialization, terrorism, government control and bureaucracy (from both capitalist and socialized countries), technology gone wrong, inept repair people, plastic surgery, love, and even modern filmmaking. Especially love.
