Brazil (Terry Gilliam, 1985) - Information Retrieval

[JavertRA]

I think Armstrong and Miller borrowed more than a little from this scene.

[rwolf01]

I'm working on taxes and just noticed that a notice I got from the California Secretary of State was signed by "Information Retrieval/Certification Unit". The future is now...

[AmazingL4rry]

@rwolf01

Yeah I suggest everyone go play Deus Ex and watch Blade runner, thisd is the world we live in adapt to it now figure out how to survive in it now. There is no hope, no hope at all, we are fucked, doomed, game over man game over.

Information Retrieval...a Republican dream factory!

[NYCZ31]

I'd go nuts having to go anywhere up high in an elevator that slow

[celshader]

Sam's starting his first day working for Facebook

[estesoyojajaja]

@celshader Are you saying that facebook is evil?, and why did the old man gave him a badge?

[textthing]

There was some creative use of space in this scene. Even though it looks like a cavernous building with endless hallways, there was in reality only one hallway; the impression is created through editing. Also, the hall wasn't that long; its appearance of receding to infinity was created with a perspective painting.

"Aaaah here we are! Your very own number, on your very own door. And behind that door, your very own office. Congratulations DZ/015, welcome to the team!" *pat*pat*

[fleamarket3000]

I love the way they've split the office in half

[kolonistuga]

Visionario, Simbolista, Borgesiano...Oniriche metafore Labirintiche!

[Oddmartian2]

We've got a crack team of-are they kidding?-decision makers!

[coronet67]

Reminds me of my job

[j3parrots]

my friend its everybody's fkin job hence the hilarity

[pinkdog12321]

does anyone know what the song is called??

[freyasgift34]

*facepalm* It's Brazil.... Frank Sinatra being the most famous performer of the song.

[pinkdog12321]

hahahaa no its not!! i no that song, i have that song

the MAIN theme is called Brazil, and if you listen to this you can tell it is distictively different from brazil.

[undiente]

lol, that must be the most "facepalmable" question

[mouse264]

If you mean the one in the hall, Rhapsodian Blue, Fantasia 2000 really taught me things :D

[pinkdog12321]

Thanks so much!! :)

[mouse264]

Of course! 8D

[Conway79]

Between you and me, Lowry, this - no no! department - tell records to get stuffed! - is about to be upgraded.

This is quite possibly my favourite film ever made.

[TreonGilliam94]

Gilliam is my last name!!!!

[greenknight0102]

Life imatates Art, Prehaps they could rename the Dept of Homeland Security the Bureau of Information Retrieval! "Don't hold out to long son, I will hurt your credit rating"...

[Remington61189]

office work has been like this!!

[Shalomi]

British humor seems to delight in bleak satire, and more power to them.

John Cleese once said he couldn't understand why Americans largely prefer Holy Grail to the Life of Brian, when he and his fellow Brits prefer the latter. Honestly, I think it might be that many Americans are just uncomfortable with cynical, biting social commentary.

[xhyio]

I'm American and saw The Life of Brian before the Holy Grail. l love them both equally, though Brian was the first Python movie I saw. Life of Brian is extremely underrated and deserves more attention than it gets. Who threw that rock?

[Waterfall64]

Well this is Gilliam, though. He's American.

[m33tar]

Not uncomfortable with it so much as unable to identify it. But coconuts! We know what those are. So silly!

[ePhilosopher]

what if we idly called it information rebuttal

[vbcray]

This is Information Retrieval not Information Dispersal.

[razing]

Mr. Warrenn: The Decider!

[Pawn1787]

This is a movie has such a unique look to it. It's hard to forget once you've seen it.

[935323]

then please thank Roger Pratt, rhe cinematographer. Gilliam, ofcourse, had vision..... But it was pratt who brought it forth... Stunningly.

[Emin7]

1984 PART 2, Firkin brilliant !

[clear047]

Esta pelicula esta una de mis favoritos.  Tan genio esta Terry Gilliam.

[soylentyellow]

So this is what awaits me after graduation day?

[chopin65]

Its a possibility, but that means you have connections. For Sam it is a premotion that his mother gets him. He wants to remain in a lovely dead end job where no one can take note of him. As the movie progresses he is called before the boss on more than one occassion, and everything and Information Retrival is more sereptitiously bound into the idea of power. The higher up you get the more mysterious it becomes. There are more secrets and efforts to control human imagination and even the body.

[drcoxcentral]

In my sociology class the teacher makes growing up sounds rather pointless and meaningless because all of us go through the same stages of life from birth to death its all the same!

[AmazingL4rry]

@soylentyellow

Go forth, be conquered, go forth and die.

[estesoyojajaja]

@soylentyellow how can i get a badge like that one ?

[shakmooll]

crazy good movie

[EvilRadiatedMonkey]

Bloody wonderful. Just seen the Love Conquers All ending version. I've got to say it's terrible. I absolutely love this film though. My fave.

[mslaerik]

one fo the top best movies ever made

[estesoyojajaja]

@mslaerik but it was not verry popular when it was release.

[estesoyojajaja]

@mslaerik is this film `bout beureoucracy( i do not know if that is how to write it)?, and why at the end...the old man give Sam a badge?

[Dystopiaman]

amo esta película
