\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Sometimes I surprise myself by the kind of movies I find accidentally. “Brazil<\/a>” is one of those highly recommended classics that I’ve never heard about before.<\/p>\n

Directed by:<\/strong> Terry Gilliam
\nGenres:<\/strong> Comedy, Sci-Fi, Fantasy
\nCast:<\/strong> Jonathan Pryce, Robert De Niro, Katherine Helmond, Ian Holm, Bob Hoskins, Michael Palin, Ian Richardson, Peter Vaughan, Kim Greist, Jim Broadbent, Barbara Hicks, Charles McKeown, Derrick O’Connor, Kathryn Pogson, Bryan Pringle
\nIMDB raintg:<\/strong> 8.0
\nMy rating:<\/strong> 8.0 [rate 8.0]<\/p>\n

This film came just in time. I was about to get pissed off with all the crap that I watching recently – cliche copies of copies of copies that as predictable as Formula 1 for the last few years. And suddenly I get across this movie, which came out twenty years ago, is included in IMDB’s Top 250 movies of all times<\/a> (#199), has Robert De Niro in it, and is one I’ve never heard anything about.<\/p>\n

The movie is very original. The story, the setups, the costumes – everything. But the feeling of deja vu wasn’t leaving me from start until the end of the film. The story felt a lot like something based on George Orwell’s “1984” spiced up with lots of satire from Monty Python and mixed with personalities from World War II movies.<\/p>\n

A very small investigation confirmed my deja vu feeling. The director of the film – Terry Gilliam – is a part of Monty Python gang. He has written, directed, and acted in a number of Monty Python flicks. He has also done a number of other well-known movies, especially in sci-fi area. One of those well-known films is “Twelve Monkeys<\/a>“.<\/p>\n

Interesting story twists, good character development, great acting and lots of amazing special effects make this film into a real masterpiece.<\/p>\n
