    Wow for me it goes a step further in that as I see it we create consensual reality with every thought we make.

    I just watched this movie for the first time last night.. It really affected me on a deeply personal level.. Very emotional. At times an absolute joy, and then you have that ending.. Poor Sam.

    i love how films like this and books like ‘1984′ had glimpses into the future… that bit at the end where they sneak to watch videos on their computers whilst the boss isn’t looking is like a tongue-in-cheek reference to employees using company internet for their own amusement when they should be working…

    Ary Barroso’s 1939 song “Aquarela do Brasil” (”Watercolor of Brazil”, often simply “Brazil”) is the leitmotif of the movie.

    And “Kurtzmann” means “Short man” ..I found this extra info on it too: “Mr. Kurtzman: (German for “short man”): small in stature and success. Named after the editor of “Help” (Harvey Kurtzman), a magazine that director Terry Gilliam worked for in the mid-60s

    Couldn’t agree with you more. To this day, I trust no government and have faith in nothing that our leaders say.

    Stay vigilant, my friend.
