Brazil
Comedy, Drama, Fantasy December 29th, 2007With the boring holidays, I have been going through all the movies on demand. I was surprised to see Brazil on demand. I forgot, but Brazil is actually a Christmas movie. The whole thing takes place during Christmas. One thing I noticed this time around is that all the characters have different accents and it doesn’t matter. Sam Lowry has an english accent and his mother played by Katherine Helmond is 100% american. It is such a good movie it doesn’t even matter. From now on, I am watching Brazil every Christmas… tradition is important.

My favorite. The Python/Gilliam approach is exceptionally well suited for describing politics and government. People may think the movie ‘Orwellian’ when it is merely prescient.
