Hidden Meaning in Brazil - Earthling Cinema 

Absolutely perfect representation of society in that regard

Poetic, right? Capitalism is self perpetual. Narcissism and self-help are normalized and praised. If people are poor, they're too busy surviving to realize an alternative. And if people are rich, they're too complacent to think beside their economic advantage and thus wish for nothing to change. Everything is de facto pit against everything. This is the result of a free market and competition driven economy, it doesn't just thrive on competition, it halts and suffers under cooperation. It doesn't. Want. To heal. Itself. 10 years left? Maybe 20?

yes but that is the bigger truth,nobody wants to be bad but the system dont leaving you a choice...

​@MLOOP Brazil is a simile of 1984. No more a description of the real world than is Orwell's book. Political fantasy ? Poetic dystopia ? Prediction ? Silent rebellion. If we are uncomfortable with the images offered then we are unconfortable with the world now. As American politics disintegrate and UK crawls to a finish line that it doesn't understand, so we inch closer to the prediction.

floooooooooooooooood Exactly that’s the point. The villain is the self sustaining system itself that keeps going no matter what anyone does.

Will Hutton I live in Brazil and endorse your comment

Will Hutton you got the corruption and burocracy right, but sad and cold? I'm pretty sure it is the exact opposite. People do suffer from the corruption, but are still a lot more joyful and vivid than most countries that I've been to

Will Hutton tells the truth...

O filme nada tem a ver com o país, só com a música Aquarela do Brasil e sua visão ufanista, retratada no filme pelos sonhos do personagem principal.

Ivan Gomes verdade! Sem falar na pressão do estado sobre nós.

Kkkkkkkkkkk tipo isso.

@@plo7035irony on irony - he tunes into a style of governing, extra bureaucratic bureaucracy … that we all experience. The plumber within the plumber within the plumber of the state. Ha! He’s great man

Yes. In my humble opinion its the greatest movie ever made.

@@jimisi7424 When I first saw it in 86 at a University small pre-screening (with a Terry talk & interview after), my mind was blown! It was pure perfection on every level. And though many seemed to be perplexed by all the stimulation , It was genius at work for me! It was everything I could imagine a film should be

@@jimisi7424 Same here.

Disagree, not a masterpiece. A massive pain in the a$$.

Why beat the audience over the head with it when it's obvious?

Brazil is more like a parody/black comedy version of Kafka/1984

What about Naked Lunch

It’s Pure Kafka either way.

@@MrKiwitox I don’t really see the parallel with 1984 other than the fact that both are dystopias

It comes from insects getting into radar and valve electronics during WW2.

@@spencerhardy8667 No, I think it comes from the moth found in a relay in the Mark II computer.

@@Shock_Treatment "Famously, the very first instance of a computer "bug" was recorded at 3:45 pm (15:45) on the 9th of September 1947. This "bug" was an actual real-life moth, well, an ex-moth, that was extracted to the number 70 relay, Panel F, of the Harvard Mark II Aiken Relay Calculator. This "bug" (which a two-inch wingspan (5 cm)) was preserved behind a piece of adhesive tape on the machines' logbook with the now immortalized phrase "[The] First actual case of a bug being found". " Per: interestingengineering.com/the-origin-of-the-term-computer-bug Very interesting! Apparently even Thomas Edison had bugs in his phones.

same here

That moment when you wrote a full comment and still got first.

It's like a more down to earth version of "1984."

* DO SHARKNADO*

Diego Sanchez *make your own comment*

Truvak T me too jejeje XD

Truvak T you had about a dozen request comments for Brazil I believe. I almost added all of them at the end of the montage but ran out of time. Thank you for your perseverance!

Dear Ryan: thank you for taking notice and for this video, but adding all those comments might make me look like and obsessed guy! not that I am... You really listen to fans and audience and that makes your channel unique, relevant and kind like a human. Thank you again.

Truvak T thanks so much for requesting it, this is a great movie. Watched it in high school, it always messes me up (in a good way i think)

we still exsist cause of that negativity,trying to be better,but i simply dont know...

Nem tudo é lento, corrupto e ineficiente se pararmos pra pensar.

It's no accident... It was originally going to be called '1984 1/2'.

Gilliam said it was based on 1984 but that he never actually read the book

Yes.

No

A more realistic one

i know right? Wisecrack said they were working on it like 5 months ago. We want you guys to do Black Mirror!!!!

OH Yes Please !

Smiley the Smile Black Mirror is literal dogshit, like... it's in no way good. try to rewatch it critically.

Ancala Bond Tell me...why do you not like it?

Smiley the Smile I think it's a show that has way too high expectations for itself, it's filled with overly pretentious plots that don't support the ideas it's trying to push because they don't even work themselves. Take the idea in "White Beaf" an episode I see that gets relatively great praise from fans as being one of the better episodes. The idea is that technology makes us complacent and immoral, right? Pretty simple concept, the opening scene is beautifully shot and the ambient background track sets a perfect mood. There's some good mystery, we don' know what is going on and it is intriguing. So why the fuck do they go and spring the plot on us? OK so it's some weird (totally not allowable) corporation that sets up these MASSIVE productions to emotionally torture people who have committed crimes over and over and over again? OK, that in itself is really dumb BUT I could hold my suspension of disbelief a little bit had it not been so fucking riddled with flaws. They just let random strangers be the weird people filming? How do they get so many? How come the government hasn't shut this CLEARLY MASSIVELY ILLEGAL project down? How is this a set? How do you stop this woman from leaving this set? Why were all the guns shooting actual bullets (or blanks) but the last gun doesn't? Were they just assuming she would grab it and shoot it back every single time? Don't people get bored of watching the same show over and over again? Why are kids allowed to go to this thing that features horribly disfigured corpses and shit? There are so many fucking problems with the overly contrived plot it just makes *no* sense whatsoever. And this is rampant in *every* episode, they think they can accomplish way more than they actually can so they try to write this super complicated and cool plot line to get across the ideas they want it to, but instead of doing that the plot is just contrived and the idea comes off as pretentious and dull.

Monroville Also, the plastic wrap she uses seems somewhat related to the duct (tape)? is it about superficially holding things together? But, yeah very curious about connection between the mother and Jill

I always interpreted her surgery as making her an uglier person despite the fact that she is trying to beautify herself.

not bad

That's a great theory! I thought of it as a way of showing that Sam was just as vain as his mother, as he became obsessed with Jill only because of her beauty

The bureaucracy is so imeshed in people's lives, it is hard to hide anything from the state.

Scott Harrison agreed

Seth White you agree that if they do a video on Metropolis that Scott Harrison's head will explode?

C.R. Asher fuck yes.

Matheus Lacerda "hi from Brazil" makes more sense now. :P

Or maybe you are constantly talking about the movie and just don't know it.

"Hi from Brazil". I now get what their messages are. They need saving. Thanks for claring it out

There's 4 movies, 51 anime episodes and 4 OVAs, which one should they do?

maxerd2 The one most people know as "Ghost in the Shell". You of course knew that was the answer to your own question, and just wanted to be smug about knowing there's more than one film that has "Ghost in the Shell" in it's title. This makes you, effectively, a twat.

maxerd2 the 1995 movie, of course.

The title of this series contains the word CINEMA so the ones that were in cinemas would be my guess.

Which one? The good one or the live action?

Yeah, I'm surprised he didn't mention 1984 in a Brazil review.

Andreis movies are great

Eric P. Alvaro you need to fill out a form for that hug

Yeah, because everyone loves corporate coups that overthrow your legitimate goverment and the masses are stupid that blinded trust the media that work for foreign governments, because the oligarchy want to crush the poor people and bring down the economy of country to the ground, viva the rich people.

Viva... the Rich Peoples.

I understood every minute of it, I just needed to make sure I actually understood it instead of just stabbing wildly in the dark.

There's too much.

"What's The Difference?"

It's disgusting

Stefan Travis Touchè

It's sexy. You know, if you're into that sort of thing.

Semi-Genuine Productions Just depends on what your kink(s) is/are.

mano, nem eu arriscaria. Galere fica p da vida.

American Pop would probably make for a good episode, and it's probably the best film Bakshi made.

Also please review pans labyrinth.

because Brazil is percieved as a paradise to escape to (but is not necceserily so) by the citizens of the movies' dystopian country.

i think is just beacuse the song "Aquarela do Brasil" is played during the whole movie but in different versions setting the tone of every scene. Each versions show different pace and feelings.

maybe watch the video and it will tell you.

Did you watch the video?

The main character has the song "Aquarelo do Brasil" (often simply called "Brazil" in the English version) stuck in his head throughout the movie.

I prefer El Topo

Yeah

Cathy Nifong I have no idea what you said, but what up my notification dude!

They already did mr robot

Hi Mo what i didn't see it

Oh wait that was an inspirations of episode but its still really good

+

do you even know metal gear? MGS4 did that around 7 years earlier

That works too.

what

Daniel Torres If they are going to do abou games as well, might do about a better series of war games with much better story, have you ever heard of metal gear?

the alien kind

Wormuloid can't stand it! SMH... Aliens.

You never read Space Cadet by Robert A Heinlein?

nope, never heard of it either

I guess this was supposed to be funny...
