Blogging Ottinger (tim)Brasil (the movie): control of technology
I have been reading recent article about the movie “Brasil” and how that dystopia applies to our world. I thought it was a pretty interesting perspective on a depressing film.
My buddy Glen loves that film. It’s funny in a dark way, and you have to be alert (it doesn’t have a laugh track to alert the dull-witted that there’s something funny going on). There are a few scenes in particular that resonate with life in America’s large corporations (unfortunately).
What you say is true. It certainly has its overt visual humor moments, as well. De Niro’s plumbing repair mission is a pretty good example of that.
