Day 21: Brazil (1985)

History
So I had to see two movies after watching the Wall-E trailer: City Lights and Brazil. City Lights was covered yesterday, but the reason for seeing Brazil is that people were pointing out that the music used in the Wall-E trailer is from Brazil, and since that music was good, I wanted to check this out. Other reasons to see it were that people said it was good, and because Terry Gilliam is the director.

Random Connections
Whoah! Katherine Helmond, who played Jessica Tate on Soap was the main dude's mom. The other movies of the day that had Soap cast members were The Graduate (day 6) and The Sting (day 5).

Johnathan Pryce, the guy who plays the main dude, was the bad guy in Tomorrow Never Dies.

Also, Bob Hoskins was in Michael from day 13.

And speaking of upcoming Pixar movies, according to imdb, Ian Holm, who was in this, is in Ratatouille, which comes out this Friday.

What's it about?
It's a futuristic dystopian sci-fi movie, with a lot of weird stuff happening and dream sequences. The main dude has an average job in the government, but increasingly feels like he needs to get out. He has recurring dreams in which he is flying, and he sees a woman in these dreams that he falls in love with. Then he sees her in the real world, and has to meet her.

Thoughts
This movie seemed to have a lot of false endings, and the music got really loud at times. It was all right. The music itself was good, and the sets and props were awesome. There were some funny moments as well. I'll have to see this again though because I didn't really understand all of it.

Oh yeah.
