未来，英国进入一个资讯管控的时代，每个人的一举一动都遭到监视。因为被认定为恐怖分子，巴托在家中被捕，而且逮捕过程严格按照流程。这个案件引起了档案局职员山姆•劳伊（乔纳森•普雷斯 Jonathan Pryce 饰）的兴趣。随后，他遵从母命，进入资讯管理局工作，得以进一步调查此事。 山姆家的空调坏了，在他求助无望之际，电气修理工达脱（罗伯特•德尼罗 Robert De Niro 饰）不请自来。他那一身武器装备，让山姆感到如临大敌。原来，达脱是资讯管理局通缉的要犯，他被指控的理由便是不遵守作业程序。随后，山姆发现资讯管理局对巴托案件存在不可告人的疑点，同事杰克（迈克尔•帕林 Michael Palin 饰）对此闪烁其词。于是，山姆决定一探究竟，其间他邂逅了梦中情人——吉尔•莱顿（金•格雷斯特 Kim Greist 饰），两个人并肩作战，发现了一个巨大的阴谋……
"Brazil," a 1985 cinematic masterpiece produced by Embassy International Pictures, is a dystopian satire that brilliantly melds dark humor with a chilling vision of a bureaucratic future. Directed by Terry Gilliam, the film unfolds in a surreal world where technology reigns supreme, yet fails spectacularly at improving human life. The protagonist, Sam Lowry, portrayed by Jonathan Pryce, is a low-level government employee who dreams of escaping his mundane existence through fantastical daydreams. However, his life takes a dramatic turn when he becomes entangled in a bureaucratic nightmare following a clerical error, leading him on a quest to find the woman of his dreams amidst a backdrop of oppressive surveillance and societal decay. The film's aesthetic is a chaotic blend of retro-futurism and steampunk, creating a visually arresting environment that feels both nostalgic and unsettling. Gilliam's meticulous attention to detail is evident in the cluttered, labyrinthine sets that symbolize the overwhelming nature of the bureaucratic system. The soundtrack, featuring the haunting theme "Brazil," composed by Geoff Muldaur, perfectly complements the film's tone, enhancing its dreamlike quality and underscoring the protagonist's descent into madness. The ensemble cast, including Robert De Niro, Kim Greist, and Michael Palin, delivers compelling performances that add depth to the film's complex narrative. "Brazil" is not just a critique of totalitarianism and consumerism; it is a profound exploration of the human condition. Sam Lowry's journey from conformity to rebellion reflects the universal struggle for individuality and freedom in the face of oppressive systems. The film's dark humor serves as a coping mechanism for the characters, and by extension, the audience, as they navigate the absurdity of their reality. Gilliam's vision challenges viewers to question the nature of progress and the cost of convenience, making "Brazil" a timeless and thought-provoking work of art. In its bold narrative and striking visuals, "Brazil" stands as a testament to the power of cinema to provoke and inspire. The film's initial reception was mixed, with some critics praising its originality while others found its bleakness off-putting. However, over time, "Brazil" has garnered a cult following and is now widely regarded as a seminal work in the dystopian genre. Its enduring relevance lies in its ability to resonate with audiences who see echoes of its themes in their own societies, making it a poignant reminder of the importance of vigilance and resistance against the encroachment of authoritarianism.
