Brazil - Have you got a 27B-6?

[MethodicalPancake]

Jill: "Care for a little necrophilia?"

Only film where that could be okay :P

[Sonicisunleashed2008]

I came here expecting something from David Thorne... WHERE IS HE

[Thorpe741]

Terry Gilliam........'nuff said.

[Aalborg42]

7 people havent got a 27 b / 6

[ishmyl99]

7 people didn't get out.

[BTIsaac]

Oh my god I remember this scene.

[ZigbertD]

One problem with the facile capitalism/socialism analogy: near the end of the film after Sam has been arrested and tortured, a guard implores him to confess, warning him "If you hold out too long you could jeopardize your credit rating. "

Not to mention all the other places in the film that skewer mindless consumerism and conspicuous consumption. Not exactly a ringing endorsement of Tea Party ideology...

[jkirschling]

hello? hello.

[ChronixBuddha]

I didn't realized that it's de niro who plays the tuttles until like my 5th time watching the movie.

[agnernai]

Remember: "Picture me in these" (followed by Explosion)

Terry is the modern master. Brazil is timelessly prescient and evermore

relevant as the years tick by...

[jabel5]

One of my favorite movies of all times. Largely forgotten, if the number of comments herein are any indication.

I admit to being slightly bent. Be that as it may, it's still a great movie.

[BlunderCity]

Freelance subversion!!!

[pizdiceanu]

tuttle=second coming

[totnesmartin]

I wonder how much this scene (or even the whole film) was inspired by Monty Python's new cooker sketch?

[katelaity]

27B/6!

[abcshopper]

Brilliant!

[sdibaja]

twenty seven B stoke six!

[TheBlitz1]

This movie shows how government makes economies inefficient by creating regulation and subsidizing free market forces.

[reginaldblob]

@TheBlitz1 Have you even seen the movie?

Had you seen it, you'd know that economy is the last thing that this movie is about.

[TheBlitz1]

@reginaldblob you missed the entire point of the movie

[balios1]

@TheBlitz1

The bureaucracy is just a metaphor.

The movie is a critique on all the artificial/superficial rules that society creates that dictate how you should live a “proper” life. You are told what will make you happy (TV, expensive gadgets, career advancement, etc) but ultimately it just complicates your life making it shallow, cluttered, and stressful. However, people who reject these rules are labeled “deviants” by society.

This is what happens to Sam in a surreal kind of way.

[TheBlitz1]

@balios1 The dystopia is obviously caused by the government, so it's to be understood as literal.

[balios1]

@TheBlitz1

It's not just the gov't. It's Sam's mother & friends telling him what to do, who to marry, what job to take. Tuttle is his ideal, living life free from such things (and persecuted for it). Tuttle doesn't charge for his work (so obviously not about the economy, unless its communism). Tuttle does what he does because it makes him happy, not because it will make him rich. Sam just wants to find a nice girl and live a simple life. Society (gov't, mother, friends) are saying "no".

[TheBlitz1]

@balios1 Tuttle simply represents captialism, the free market.

Everything else represents socialism, central-government planning.

Tuttle is quick and efficient, and everything else is wasteful and cumbersome.

[drkthms7]

@balios1 Great explanation

[MrFooknuts]

This and 1984 should be forced viewing for all politicians and civil servants.

[asimov13647]

@MrFooknuts And voters.

[zrogoszinski]

It is like a giant organism!

[madsli]

Vigilane electrician.

[bandyciczasu]

ostrożnie z majstrem od klimatyzacji

[krelllabs]

Ought to read 27B/6, no?

[mimarob]

Just had a coworker yelling at a customer for filling in a form wrongly so I just had to watch this scene...

[JimmySteller]

Robert de Niro is just fantastic. Certainly one of his most unique roles.

[WayTooDazedConfus3d]

such a trippy movie i swear holy fuck, Terry Gilliam is a psychedelic director lol

[monteoner]

this is brilliant, deniro brought his own tools and toolbelt for this scene

[1HalfASSreViewer]

@monteoner, he also spent quite a while offset and before shooting carefully studying surgical procedures from real surgeons, plumbing techniques, and even training in stealth in the same way that most Navy SEALS and special ops agents train.

imho, this was one of De Niro's best performances ever as a supporting character in a film. the constant switch back and forth between straight-laced seriousness and being ridiculously zany at the same time, thats something only he could pull off so well

[WildWelshWitch]

the main thing I love about 'Brazil' is summed up in the scene: Outlaw Boiler Repair men.

And Mr De Niro plays it so well

[PTSmash]

Whenever I see Dowser and Spoor I not only think of Mario and Luigi, but for some reason I also think of Bulk and Skull from the original Power Rangers.

[SuperDachshund]

Good Lord I love this movie! And I love this scene. Oh the wonderful things government can do FOR you! This is your Progressive Utopia, folks--Central Services controling phone, electricity, and HVAC. . .and retirement funds, and medical care, and the car and housing industry and. . .well, you get the idea. This is a movie ripe for today!

[Joaquin602001]

I saw the first half hour of this movie when I was ten, and only saw it all the way through a few months ago, but... I'm already getting nostalgia watching this scene!

[couscousdelight]

My best movie ever.

[Cosmic86x]

awesome, interesting and very funny movie ! :-)

[northbeachfilms]

arg. i want to watch this but the skanky youtube is getting buggier and buggier and it will not play. duh

[greentea5732]

"Stroke" is actually the punctuation mark "/" (slash), so it should be 27B/6.

[alexkrycek21]

Best British film ever.

[spitmaster99]

@alexkrycek21, and one of the best ever in general, especially with it's greater relevance to today than back in '85. my #1 personal favorite film

[Iain1962]

Best film ever in my opinion.

[arcoirisbrasil]

so cool 5********

[gardenmike]

This is arguably the most amusing/funny six minutes in the history of gilms

[LeGronk]

I love how the skinny tech repeats practically everything people are saying.

[tolchok89]

This is underrated as both a movie and as a Christmas special.

[053bss]

0:10 I've got that ring as my ringtone.

[markors13]

Brazil - starring Robert de Niro as Mario the Plumber. That would be enough to sell the film to anyone.

[LeCutter]

"We're all in it together, kid."

[RaynorX]

Harry Tuttle > Mario

[BIGGLBY]

when heating and cooling specialists go renegade, times will be very bad indeed

[conqst3]

@BIGGLBY they all ready are

[maxh0725]

I saw this movie today. it was downer. I mean after i saw it I went to get some lunch and it was kinda, well, lets say "powerful".

[DeafFret]

Perhaps you should have watched the heinous special American release "Love Conquers All" version with the tacked on happy ending?

[Horusthebetrayer]

@DeafFret Fuck man! I accidentally added that version to my queue on Netflix....I'm fucking watching it right now....still, (sighs), it's one of the greatest films ever, of all time.

[IExposeMormonism]

I use to be a much like Tuttle but then I realized, like I'd been struck with a diamond bullet, you cant help anyone. You dont want to try and "fix the system"... If you fix something you only endanger yourself and others. Let the system take care of itself. 27B/6 is real.

[quentinnor]

I think he's tampered with it as well!!

[drewmx]

I smoked a joint before watching this movie.

I thought I was hallucinating like I was in Hunter S. Thompson's "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas"

Best line in movie history:

"I came into this game for the action, the excitement. Go anywhere. Travel light. Get in. Get out. Where ever there's trouble, a man alone."

[Conway79]

I think everybody dreams of that type of life. ;-)

[maxh0725]

haha good one

[TomSFox]

@drewmx You weren't hallucinating when you watched "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas".

[monteoner]

@TomSFox you dont know that

[Thorpe741]

@drewmx We're all in it together kid!

[cacarr000]

You got a mutha fuckin 27b-6? Bitches?

[kingcaesar5]

Now all De Niro needs to is a western to complete the genre cycle.

[SpreadingLoveAround]

swine flew? when pigs fly

[Pauluk33]

hahahhahaha, robert de niro...talk about casting

[xhyio]

Surrealism and dark comedy at it's best. Gilliam with an excellent cast. I'm watching it again on HBO now.

[GoldenHeartBR]

ah...what is this movi about anyway?

[chanologyASSIST]

its about mistakes

[GoldenHeartBR]

err...what kind of mistakes? XD

[chanologyASSIST]

well, it starts as a printing mistake, then evolves.

its a terrific forward seeing film about terrorism, socialism, tyranical intrusive government, and of course, love.

[GoldenHeartBR]

alright cool thanks XD maybe ill download this movie, it looks nice

[chanologyASSIST]

trust me.

this will be one of your favorite movies ever.

[RavenPrecept]

Buttle or Tuttle or whatever, I bet he's not Corgi Registered and in possession of Part-P.

[donbiancardi]

Wow. Bob Hoskins AND Robert DeNiro doing your plumbing. Now there is a dream come true!!!

[IQ136]

Bob Hoskins: "Now look what YOU'VE done to 'im!"

lol

=D

Hey I wish it were THIS easy to get things done at my apartment building in Cheyenne!!! I wish good old Bob Hoskins would do the repairs.

[creoltein]

double edged sword. cuts both ways.

your argument is based on the idea that you are somehow more mature, more wise than your opponent.

this whole government paranoia thing has been going on since society started. read seneca. nothing new, paranoia still remains, government still just as useless and non threatening as before. don't cry or bunch your panties, just deal.

faggot...

[kalismuggla]

Archibald Tuttle: Free man in an unfree world!

[ePhilosopher]

classicko

[altpunkhead]

Ia that the guy from Pirates of the Caribbean?

[Sl0wry]

Jonathan Pryce ? Yeah he played Governor Swann in POTC

[paerarru]

Don't forget to ask for it.

[AntinousIsGod1]

Did you you know that 27B-6 was George Orwell's apartment number?

[5252dan]

i forgot that was de Niro in there. incredible movie

[raterito]

not only mario and luigi, the pipes too in

the streets... and other details, see the whole

movie its worth it.

[chopin65]

Sounds like he has a hell of a law suit. I believe you. When so much power is vested in a single group the result must be corruption.

[chopin65]

I often think (this is of course my American perspective) that Gilliam's vision is closer to what could happen (some might say has) in the States. The characters are living in a state of confusion but retain a sense of human rights (of course it is an illusion). Anyone living in a democracy will view the machine of the state in an absurd manner. Anyone suffering under a state where power is in the hand of just few, and who never have enjoyed freedom of expression would naturally be more somber.

[ottoskidoo]

I had a gentle friend arrested wrongfully this past weekend and it was straight out of BRAZIL. America is in grave danger of fascism.

[chopin65]

What were the charges?

[ottoskidoo]

He pulled over because the street was blocked by police cars. They surrounded him and wouldn't listen to him as they pulled him from the car, threw him to the ground and cuffed. He was taken to jail and not charged until hours later with "interfering with a police officer." he did nothing but pull over. outrageous. fucking los angeles sheriffs.

[ReverendSyn]

Are you sure your friend didnt just give you a creative "Re-telling" painting him as the innocent? Just because he's your friend doesnt mean everything that comes out of his mouth is going to be the gospel truth.

Obviously he did something or they wouldnt have arrested him. People simply dont get arrested for no reason and have one made up later. That only happens on TV and movies. Probably just didnt want to admit responsibility for his actions and used the Police as a convenient scapegoat.

[ottoskidoo]

That's a reductive and ludicrous statement. A man was released from prison two weeks ago after 25 years for a rape he didn't commit thanks to DNA testing. In other words, he was innocent and falsely arrested. If that happened to you, would you say, "I must have done something wrong."

Look at the those falsely imprisoned across America. Or in Abu Grahib. But your faith in the police state is touching.

[ReverendSyn]

Its not faith in the police state. Its pure rational thought. Those "people" imprisoned in Abu Grahib were terrorists trying to kill our noble protectors of freedom. they captured American soldiers & beheaded them on camera. Tell me, which is easier to recover from, being stacked in a human pyramid naked or having your head cut off? We're the good guys so our actions were perfectly justified.

Why dont you go rage against the machine elsewhere Mr paranoid anachist. Youre touched in the head.

[ottoskidoo]

what's a paranoid anachist?

[escape421521]

What's a paranoid android?

[Abernis]

Do paranoid androids dream of electric presidents?

[cinephilefromhell]

There is no such thing as the good guy in the modern world. There is no absolutes sucha s black and white everyone is positivly gray. Release your mind from the spoonfed bullshit that you recived or that you are gladly receiving. I'm not a paranoid anachist like some people but i know that we're not the god or bad guys.

[ReverendSyn]

Im not spoonfed a damn thing. And Im offended you'd suggest such a thing.

[minitrue2001]

Explain to me, then, why most of those people in Abu Gharib have not been charged with any crime after so many years of imprisonment? If they are such evil people as the government and media tells us they are, then it wouldn't take so many years for actual charges to be produced. Not paranoia, just straight talk and logic.

[ReverendSyn]

No its a rational and logical statement. People being falsely imprisoned is just a lie perpetrated by paranoid conspiracy kooks. We have a judicial system that decides if people are guilty or not by a jury of peers.

Dont want to be put in prison? Then don't brake the law. It's just that plain and simple. I would not say I must have done something wrong because I would not be imprisoned if I wasnt the one who did it.

Your paranoia is touching. It must be fun living in irrational fear.

[ottoskidoo]

So every human on this planet is rational? How about this rational peace officer in Oklahoma:

ARAPAHO, Okla. -- An Oklahoma sheriff resigned after an investigation reveals he was running a sex-slave operation from his jail, police said.

Michael Burgess surrendered to Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation agents and posted bond Wednesday night, hours after he resigned as Custer County sheriff amid 35 felony charges, including accusations of forcible oral sodomy, kidnapping, rape and perjury.

[minitrue2001]

If only the world was such an honorable, uncorrupt place as you portray it. "Don't want to be put in prison? Don't break the law." Sounds like a fairy tale world to me. Ever heard of false imprisonment? Where's the charges against most of the inmates? And where's the trial by jury of one's peers? Military tribunals =/= civilian courts.

Your naivete is quite touching, though, I must say, as is your blind faith that government is always there with honorable intentions and no ulterior motives.

[xxballsonweelsxx]

@minitrue2001 well its either a corrupt government thats pretty annoying, or its ppl running around with no control doing whatever the fuck they want, and everybody knows how that would turn out, now wouldnt that be so much better?

[Pawn1787]

I love that deflating air bag, it makes it look alive.

[greatnothing42]

flashlight! ahaaa!

[mortichro]

thats like a mundane Mario and Luigi

[desotowrong]

That truly was great, Johnathan Pryce, Bob Hoskins, and Robert DeNiro in the classic black comedy Brazil!

[cybawatt]

I have got to see this movie.

[danyspecial]

great scene

[ePhilosopher]

well?

happy 2008-27b-6?

[BethGoth15]

I'm getting this on DVD for Christmas. It's a fantastic film. I enjoyed Michael's part anyway lol.

[recoveringcarnivore]

Fear is the Mind killer

[sounds132]

It is the little-death that brings total obliteration.

[tohopes]

I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me.

[Dreaded88]

I thought it was a DZ-215 !?!

[textthing]

That was his Information Retrieval badge number.

[Dreaded88]

Yes but it appears several time during the movie.

[textthing]

I remember now. It was DZ-015. Just to be pedantic.

[PETEM4]

TUTTLE, how fitting ,the moustache...

[vivazapatta]

According to many pundits this was voted one of the top 100 best 'British Films' ever made ... something with which I have to agree.  Perhaps the present Prime Minister Gordon Blair, should make his 'people' watch it a few hundered times ...

[Dreaded88]

Actually: there are lots of American's who should be made to watch this film! Penalty for voting for Emperor Bush II !

[IQ136]

"Now look what YOU'VE done to 'im!" Bob Hoskins says to Jonathan Pryce. You should also show the next part where Robert DeNiro jumps down from the balcony using that cable. This is a VERY TALL apartment building, perhaps hundreds of stories tall.

[IQ136]

"There's your problem!" I love the movie Brazil.  My Mom and I have joked about the form 27B stroke 6 for twenty years now.

[drazdikjr]

Only the Jewish actor Robert De Niro knows what type of stage prop this gun is he's holding. Is his pumbing associated with American Standard or TOTO?

[CBRclaus]

Nice one... :D 12 Monkeys is one of my abolute favourite movies! Havent seen Brazil yet, so Im going to pick it up from play-com or something like that very soon... Og forresten! Norsken din er veldig bra! :)

[peterfireball]

Holy shit, that was Robert Deniro!

[Scar231]

I love Brazil... And those technicians remind me somewhat of Mario and Luigi.

[antispamdinista]

That's because Bob Hoskins was Mario Mario in the Super Mario Brothers film.

[CaptPoco]

"Mario Mario"? The Super Mario Brothers don't have second names...

[antispamdinista]

That's what they call him in the IMDB listing. Don't blame me, blame them.

[mrtyles]

we'll be back you bastard!!! lol!!!

[woodpecker26175]

One of the best movies I ever seen in

my lilfe.

Amazing movie.

[BrettCelinski]

harry tuttle= hero

[ScottfromTexas]

Little known, almost suppressed, fact: Tim Mcveigh used the pseudodnym "Tuttle" from time to time. ;-)

[magirusr]

je vous conseille d'aller voir ce grand film, très dérangeant.

mauvais rêves assurés

[murphy96]

One of the best movies on the planet!

Scary shit and funnier than hell.

[amerindio]

12 monkeys and brazil the best teri gilliam

[kalismuggla]

dont forget Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas and The Life of Brian

[vautrin87]

this is the best distopic film i ve ever seen in my life, but i think de niro could show his face more in movie.

also i would like to see the scene that tuttle's disappearing under the papers flied on him from trash can.(hear this)

[dcbrandt]

This is one of the best films ever made. That says A LOT, considering it was made during a very dismal era in film.

[beeess]

The ending of the film is on here, the last five minutes. I was spoiled on the end when I first saw the movie, and still enjoyed it. Thank you for putting this up.

[Ktulueth]

Damn, I wish there were more of these clips on YouTube. I so want the ending of the film on here.

[Conway79]

I'm glad the ending isn't here. It would be awful for somebody to come across it if they haven't seen the film already. I just posted this scene to appetise anyone who hasn't seen it before, any maybe attract some more people to this amazing film.

[mignlo]

rent IT!!!! FOOL!!
