Watching film notes-"Brazil"

1. The traces of 1984 are obvious, the most obvious is the iron pipe used to pass the note in the room. 2. A tribute to the Odessa Staircase in the shootout in the dream later. 3. Except for their journey on the truck, almost all of the film is in a closed scene, making the film successfully constructed a dark, depressive, and slightly cartoonish urban space. 4. It is worth mentioning that the application of a bird's-eye view of the great vision highlights the status of people being monitored and suppressed in such a society. 5. The last dream was very imaginative. Opening the door on the wall in the nightmare and jumping into the truck that escaped the city was a magical stroke. It was later carried forward by Jin Min. 6. The setting of Jill's truck driver is quite meaningful. It gets rid of the chains of bureaucratic system and information system. People who are not alienated and have the ability to move are all people who master machines, such as Lowry, Jill and Tuttle. The tragedy after the industrial age is that if you want to defeat the machine, you must first master the machine, otherwise you will never be able to return to the idyllic utopia. This myth is retelled in The Matrix.

    The viewing experience is not very good. I am very unaccustomed to such a narrative style, unable to substitute into the story. Have a chance to see it again

    There are thousands of dystopias, only this one inherits the helplessness, blindness and despair of PKD novels. In a futuristic(?) world full of breaking news, cosmetic surgery and bureaucracy, the hero's sense of the hero saving the princess is so strange, ridiculous and out of place. The absurdity and meaninglessness of the fate of this idiot who wants to fly out of the box is more thought-provoking than any heroic narrative.

    Mr. Helpmann: Beginners' luck.

  • Sam Lowry: Can you fix it?

    Harry Tuttle: No, I can't. But I can bypass it with one of these.
