I really enjoyed the satire and overall bizarre atmosphere.

I would highly recommend it. Let me know what you think once you start.

I watched Brazil last night. I am not sure what happened and I am not sure if I even want my time back since it was pretty incredible. It had my favorite of all the lost arts of Hollywood in full form, miniatures. The story drags a good bit in parts, but Robert De Niro as a renegade HVAC repairman was just funny and the miniature work was gorgeous. Expensive as hell but gorgeous. And when talking with a person in the industry about it we realized that we have no idea how they did it for 15 million, even back in 85.

I much prefer miniatures and models to CGI. I even prefer latex and fake blood. Even though stuff looks dated it still looks cool. CGI dates super fast and just looks crappy.

Seriously, you'd never seen Brazil? Of all the Gilliam movies...wow.

It's one of those films that I both absolutely love and hate to watch. I love it because I love the acting, the effects, the visuals, etc. I hate it because it depresses me horrendously. But I'd rather have that depressing ending than the one Universal tried to force on the film.

I should have noted that I had seen most of it before, just never all in one sitting.
