  • i hope this movie is available for download...i think this movie is good! =)

  • My favorite movie....but this is the worst trailer for it. The other trailers (the Fox Films & the UK) are much better.

  • Consumers for Christ-slice slice snip snip-Were all into it together kid-Suspicion breeds Confidence......25 years and counting and it forecasts OUR future

  • The more I see this trailer, the more I wanna see it! What version of Brazil is playing in the background? Incidentally, should Criterion release their Blu-Ray and DVD re-release, I suggest they include 3 cuts (US Theatrical, Director's Cut, and Love Conquers All Version).

  • A FUCKING MASTERPIECE!

  • I saw this movie for the first time of my life yesterday, and it is mind blowing. I dont care that it is as old as I am, this is one of the most creative movie I've ever seen!

  • @facefantome The year a film is released should not really come into it. It's either good or bad. Look at the majority of remakes nowadays... Terrible. The only thing that dates a film for me is terrible 80's score or a song that instantly puts a time stamp on it (or unconvincing effects).

  • Just saw Sucker Punch. It was really bad. Gonna watch Brazil tonight to erase it from my mind.

  • The greatest film of the 1980s.

  • The greatest film of the 1980s.

  • Just bought the Criterion version today

  • What a marvelous film.

  • The similarities between Brazil and today are many and obvious, with the major one being the huge domestic spy network now present in the U.S. Also, innocent people have died at the hands of their torturers. The ending was right on as the mind splits to cope with pain by going into another reality. Anyone who has seen the movie "Sybil" knows how personalities are split due to child abuse. This dark futuristic satire is an allegory of what happens when people lose control of their own lives.

  • Mas QUE PORRA È ESSA????

  • @djakinho É previsível que um aficionado por futebol como você não conheça este filme. Vá na locadora mais próxima de sua casa e pergunte pelo filme clássico “Brazil” (ficção). Ainda bem que você comentou em português. Brazuca.

  • makes perfect sense

  • makes perfect sense

  • W T F

  • @SMGJohn

    watch?v=iXTCRl1bec4

  • Great film, but this trailer really doesn't sell it like it should.

  • @mistertakeda My sentiments exactly !

  • You can see the British influence of this movie of Government bureaucracy, its troubles in allegory, myth, and metaphor. Makes the movie hard to follow, but when held to truth; then someone will still watch, because something of the mind makes it happen--as our pieces of the puzzle are still in allegory & metaphor of language given us by example of our experience. Post-World-War-Two comedians, when the Government takes everything made it relevant to British, and their dominating Government.

  • @WOWJBEOWULF I can see the British influence, and I can see the influence of the 70s dictatorial goverments in Latin America too... Is an universal film!

  • they used the song Aquarela do Brasil by Gal Costa didnt they?

  • very cerebral film

  • remember guys, we're all in this together

  • I first heard about this movie when I saw the Nostalgia Critic's list of his favourite movies. I was all like "This is the guy who hates Batman & Robin, Kazaam, the Super Mario Brothers movie, and the Tom and Jerry movie, has praised Amadeus, the Dark Knight and Citizen Kane, and THIS is his favourite movie? What the hell could be in it that could be so good?"

    The answer - everything. Epic succeed from beginning to end. My only disappointment is that I don't know many others who like it too.

  • @tolchok89 it's probably because its alot to grasp for the average movie goer(the movie does take repeated viewings to really appreciate). and it is quite intellectual, socialy and politically accurate to real life, especially more so now than back then. but its so brilliant in satirizing bureaucratic innefficency, as well as the sometimes overly obvious & unjust seperation between proletariats and the burgoeise. excellent, smart, funny, scary film. my all time favorite. Time Bandits is great 2

  • @tolchok89 I agree, it's one of those movies that gets better everytime you watch it and makes you feel all sorts of different emotions.

  • I wonder why Terry Giliam called this movie "Brazil"?

  • @MilknPopcorn They play variations on this song called "Brazil" throughout the movie.

  • Brazil is the movie I want to make.

  • The best!

  • Nancy Pelosi @ 0:20

  • This movie is fantastic and is perfect in every way. But if you're going to watch the movie for the first time, PLEASE do not watch the "Love Conquers All" Version. It's like the studio just pissed all over it!

  • Does anyone know the name of the voice-over guy?  And anything else he's done?

  • Comment removed

  • @ahrussman He does like every single 80s movie voice over! He was usurped by the "In a world..." guy though.

  • this movie was a million times better on acid

  • really?!!! tell me how??

  • You spend most of the time counting the threads on the carpet than actually watching the film, so how is it better on acid?

  • PHANTASTIC movie! imo

  • My favourite movie of all time. Why isn't this on imdb's top 250 list?

  • It is now, but it should up probably in the top 20.

  • Way hipper trailer than that other silly boring one.

  • This movie kicked ass.

  • It's a polarizing film. It seems that people either don't get it at all, or it's magic.

  • isnt it amazing, I mean especially now with the relavency to, too much security or not enough, absurd buerocratic waste etc. I guess your average person is just that.

  • your FUCKING STUPID. this movie was amazing in every way. your just too stupid to appreciate great movies. open your eyes moron.

  • LOL don't believe in the idea of agreeing to disagree huh? There aren't any absolutes in life idiot, not even when it comes to art. You are being close minded. At least appreciate the fact that it spurred emotions rather indifference.

  • Ha. I bet you liked Transformers the movie.

  • NOPE. I couldn't even sit thru it. Contrary to your belief not everyone that hates this movie, ONLY watches blockbuster films. Such a black and white way to look at movie viewers. If u liked this film u have great taste. If u hated this film u don't. Narrow mindness from ppl that claim to be so, I love the hypocrisy.

  • In that case, I respect your opinion. I am for free thought, although anybody who likes the transformer movie is a complete and utter douchebag.

  • I intend on watching this film on more time...maybe ill like it the 2nd time around

  • i agree with you completely. i do love this movie so much. but it is a tough pill to swallow. it's not a surprise it can't capture everyone's interest.

  • @almightyhans Thanks man. I didn't mean to be an Ahole saying I didn't enjoy this film. Just being honest. I do plan on revisiting this film again, but it's just that the first time I watched it I honestly found it unbearable. The point of the film and themes make sense to me, even the ironic title/song. On film it just didn't click.

    BTW meant to say before n"arrow mindness from ppl that claim to NOT to be so

  • Brilliant movie, brilliant trailer!

  • "Brazil: it's only a state of mind."

    Dude, that is chilling.

  • This movie was amazing. Gilliam can say so much through his images.

  • i got the 3 disc criterion dvd of this movie a couple of months ago for 13 dollars on amazon, and it was new, too. that was beyond a good deal, since that dvd is worth 60 bucks.

  • nice

  • 'Brazil' is very clearly laid out - told linear time and less confusing than some more modern films are. I once did a 50 pages film analysis of it in my university class. It is just disturbing, but not confusion. Belive me ;). The nice thing is: you can watch it seven times and will still find more detail in it.

  • True. Although there are 2 different endings to the movie. It's a fucking brilliant film. There's so much more truth in this moviem, unfortunately. Try raising the consciousness of Sept. 11th (911) by sharing this movie with someone. It's only a state off...mind control.

  • The world is weird. Weird works!

  • In my opinion, the U.K. trailer is better. Less revealing and more random than this one.

  • Cool.

  • Brillant movie and one of the strangest takes on Orwell's 1984!

  • test #t=1m15s.

  • they forgot the casino

  • Casino?

  • nem sabia da existência deste filme. legal!!

  • interesting I just add one more movie for the hunt

  • É inrível como o nosso país desperta a fantasia do Mundo lá fora! Muito bom esse filme!

  • this movie looks awesome! it reminds me of a clockwork orange.

  • I think Brazil is even better

  • I suppose it would remind me of A Clockwork Orange; if Kubrick had a sense of humour, which he didn't, so it doesn't.

  • A Clockwork Orange had its own dose of humour.

  • ever seen Dr Strangelove?

  • Eu num entendi!o que é isso, um filme?

    nuca vi nem ouvi falar, mais apesar do nome o que tem a ver com brasil?

  • Também não entendi qual é a desse filme.

  • I don´t understand why this movie is called 'Brazil"

    can someone explain it to me ?

  • As the movie has nothing to do with the country of Brazil, and with director Terry Gilliam being a member of the Monty Python comedy troupe, I think we can say its largely for absurdity's sake. Its also likely a romanticized place that our hero dreams about (judging from the theme music's lyrics), in sharp contrast to his dystopian reality.

  • The script unfolds in a militaristic society mystery country which one can only assume it is Brazil due A.the film's title 2.That Brazil was under a coop from 1964 till 1985. I personally believe that the film is a political statement against control of the masses by fascistic regimes.

    Apart from that Brazil is one of the best films ever made.

  • Thanks dude......

  • Gilliam told in an interview that once he watched a guy in a very desparate surrounding (I guess it was somewhere by the seaside beside a waste-covered beach) listening to the title song "Aquarela do Brasil" playing on radio. This caught the mood he wanted to present in his film, so he chose "Brazil" as the title. And yes, as was said earlier, it surely transports a notion of weirdness, also, as the scenery has absolutely nothing to do with the inner image of sun, color, rhythm and pleasure.

  • that looks so cool!!

  • movie ahead of its time

  • Yep, like Fritz Lang`s "Metropolis", "Blade runner" or David Lynch`s "Eraserhead", Brazil wasa movie when it was released not everyone understand it. Now is having its real apreciation.

  • ?????????

    ainda estou com "?" na cabeça..

  • e esse filme não tem nada aver com o brasil

  • that's how Terry Gilliam works, very random. All you Brasileiros are disappointed now!

  • nem eu nunca ouvir falar em um filme chamado brasil

  • Still one of my FAVORITE films!

  • Brasil...o único lugar no mundo em que alguem rouba alguns milhões, joga a filha da janela, mata, estrupa e no outro dia algum time de futebol é campeão e todo mundo fica feliz e esquece tudo...é foda! (entendam, o foda é a midia e os politicos de merda, pq o povo e a terra são maravilhosos).

  • cALMA AMIGO, ESPERANÇA!

    CHEGAREMOS LA UM DIA!

    O SONHO DE POUCOS VAI SE TORNAR VERADDE LOGO LOGO!

    

    BRASIL ATÉ O FIM!

  • Americans...

  • Esses Americanos são uns xapados

  • hmm agora entendi esse filme.è q tudo nesse país acaba em samba, cachaça e sexo hehehe....

  • nunca vi falar deste filme, sobre o Brasil que porra é essa destes gringos?

  • o nome do filme é Brasil pois ele usa na trilha Aquarela do Brasil, que lá fora se chama "Brazil" ou "Brazil Watercolor"

  • Best movie

  • I see some messages about DVD releases. Guys, no matter what try and support Criterion the best you can. They make excellent collectible DVD's with the best prints and quality available. This is one film that deserves to be purchased in the full criterion format.

  • They need to stop discontinuing certain DVDs though.

  • pra assistir isso tem que fumar muita machonha antes , ahuahuahuahuah, onde alugo ???

  • Báh! Nem é preciso fumar nada. O filme é muuuito louco por sí só.

    Acho difícil achares ele em uma locadora comum, as boas talvez.

    Abraço e boa "viagem!"

  • que porra de filme é esse ? kkkkkkk

    where Brazil ? lolllllll

  • deve ser em algum outro continente no imaginario humano.Talvez ainda esta para ser descoberto num futuro próximo hehehe

  • My favourite movie of all time.

  • I know the name of the song that plays over most of the trailer, but would anyone happen to know what recording it is?

    Sounds like an older one.

  • Aquarela do Brasil" ("Watercolor of Brazil"),

  • help: Yes, I found the name but I haven't been able to find the particular recording they used. I assumed it might've been an older one from the 30s or 40s.

  • The theme interpretation is part of an original soundtrack by Michael Kamen which was recorded solely for this movie.

  • VierGrad: I was wondering if it was an old recording or not. Thanks for the info. :)

  • This is the guy from the Infiniti commercials! LOL

  • I have the background music on cassette

  • it's such a good movie! the way that the government is portrayed in the movie reminded me of Stalin's regime...

  • My 2nd favorite film! A brilliantly funny and dark tirade against the impersonal force we call modern bureaucracy. The ending is the bleakest cinematic gut-punch i have ever received!

  • one hell of a movie

  • A film everyone should see. Terry Gilliam's best movie.I saw it twice on the first day of its UK release back in the days when they didn't kick you out of the movie theatre inbetween screenings

  • trev: I assume you've tried more recently? ;)

  • screw tim burton.

    this guy is the man.

    haha.

    burton is still good.

  • Terry Gilliam is the first dude with a quirky vision before Tim Burton. I bet Burton got his inspiration by him when he was young. The only difference is that Tim always bring out the happy endings. Terry, on the other hand, not much. Brazil, Time Bandits and 12 Monkeys are a few examples.

  • ( -:,'

  • that's it?! thats my answer?! the heck is it?!

  • 12 Monkey's has a happy ending, you just didnt think it thru

  • It did? The guy brought the virus with him to the plane. Everybody is infected. You called that a happy ending?! Am I missing something?!

  • But the medic from the future is also on the plane. The implication is that, armed with new foreknowledge, the future will keep sending agents back until the virus is stopped before it can spread. I'd also say that Time Bandits has a happy ending, in its own strange way.

  • It's not really a happy ending, but no one has time to feel shocked or sympathetic cause it's not like the kid was close to his parents. So he just stands there, not crying at all, just flabberghasted.

  • weeeelll I would say tim burton got more his inspiration from "Expressionnisme allemand" (don't know how to say in english)

  • Have you seen all of Terry Gilliam's movies?

  • O que o meu bonito, mas maltratado país tem haver com tudo isso? Só a música se relaciona.

  • "Brazil" representa o paraíso distante para onde o personagem quer fugir na tentativa de se livrar de toda a opressão mostrada no filme (claro que não exatamente para o país Brasil, mas para aquilo que ele representa na visão do estrangeiro, o paraíso tropical). Essa visão é mostrada claramente no final do filme. A música "Aquarela do Brasil" é mais um símbolo disso.

  • Ah e? Alguem tava dizendo que existia a referencia a ditadura brasileira mais Gilliam falou que o filme nao falava de nenhum pais em particular. Acho que a explicacao que voce deu e muito mais pertinente.

  • el awsomeness.

    i ment the movie, not that thing you wrote.

    what ever it is.

  • Thanks one of my 10 all time favourite films. And one of my two favourite Terry Gilliam films

  • This film looks SO weird!

    But that's Terry Gilleaum's kinds of films for you

  • I once took acid with a friend and we sat down to watch this film- biggest fucking mistake EVER! One of the most intense, nightmarish experiences I've ever had. I love this film- just not on acid.

  • the ending was so freaky i started crying

  • i saw it coming but even when it came to the point of accepting it i was so sad

  • I had it on VHS ( Yeah, it's that old )and i had that same experience. But at least he was humming.

  • de niro!

  • i love this film!

  • Everyone should see this movie. Wonderful insanity like only Terry Gilliam can offer. ^^

  • 00:11 lol.

  • that theme never dies!

  • One of my favourite movies of all time.

  • I actually like this movie more than the 1984 film.

  • is this a complicated movie cuz I'm 16 and i want to know if i should see when i'm older to understand it better. i mean is something like the first matrix ?

  • It's a lot more the like the architect's speech in the Matrix Reloaded.

  • Only it's not boring and sucky.

  • Oops, my comment was in response to MBasemichael's post. :-)

  • Amazing movie. DO NOT GET THE AMERICAN LOVE CONQUERS ALL VERSION. You MUST, get the criterion collection version, or at least any version that's not the love conquers version. The theater version of this movie made it into a corny romance, while the real version is an incredibly serious and important peice of art.

  • It's really quite amazing, too. All they did was cut the last... 7 seconds and made it into a corny romance film. Like some sort of evil censorship mastermind.

  • lol no. You should watch the movie Battle for Brazil. It explains it in great detail. First of all, the full movie is 142 minutes while the sheinberg cut is 96. 142-96=46 minutes, almost an hour, not 7 seconds. Also the scenes that were left in were dramatically re-worked to be completely different. Please watch both, and you will see the difference.

  • One of the best movies ever! Love this theme song

  • Favorite movie of all time. Favorite ending of all time. You just... don't see it coming. I mean, that's normal for Gillian, but DAMN. This was on a whole different level.

  • Exactly!

    P.S. In the final battle there's even a reference to the Odessa steps sequence from classic Eisenstein's movie Battleship Potemkin. And it is there for a reason: Sam is dreaming Eisenstein because all he gets to watch on TV is old movies.

  • nice tits.

  • really weird and odd but COOL

  • a question for those who watched the film and loved it. Is it necessary for me to watch the us theaterical print or the european theaterical print?

  • get the criterion edition it has the definitive cut, it is a mix between the american and UK prints of the film.

  • does anyone know where i can find the american and theaterical versions of brazil on dvd

  • could someone please explain to me what makes this film SO great? i like Gilliam's films, and i liked this one as well, althought i liked Fear and Loathing and 12 Monkeys better. i just didn't see what made it so brilliant.

  • It's a satirical/fantasy commentary on 1980s commericalism, materialism and conformism. City worker Sam (a cool Jonathon Pryce) is a daydreamer who wants to break free from it. He's hestitate at first, but when a man is unmistakely killed by the fascist government for being a revolutionary, he goes to destroy it from within.

  • Don't worry about it...other people like it, you don't.

    I think the only thing you should do is watch it one more time. To me, it's one of the greatest movies ever made, and possibly the best sci fi movie.

  • yeah, i probably will.

  • best movie ever.

  • you must watch this movie on something

  • Yes. A good education helps. Greatest movie of our time.
