a new friend of mine was saying that there are 3 different
version, with 3 different endings...

lots of little extra bits, there's many sites detailing all
of this as well...

great flick.

Okay I've thought it through... what was the point of any of
it other than a reason for Terry Gilliam to show us what was
going on in his mind?

i think the essence of "brazil" would be lost in
explanation. also, i am quite certain that even terry
gilliam does not understand it entirely (based on his own
commentary). aside from being a satire of western
civilization, i think it is about discovering that you live
in a prison called freedom, and in the end and a word,
liberation.

i had the opportunity to see a brand new print (at the time)
of "brazil" in 1998 (missed the screening with terry
gilliam, though), and it's a favorite of mine.

Terry Gilliam is directing Good Omens!! Its an excelent book
written by Terry Pratchet and Neil Gaiman.

actually maybe he isn't as he's having trouble financing it.


How can Paul Anderson get financing for movies when he has
made 99% shit films and an excelent director like Gilliam
can't?

perhaps because he's making commercial films?

brazil was ok, but i wouldn't watch it more than once per
year :)

I guess that answer to that depends on which Paul Anderson
you're referring to.

"alien vs. predator"..?

Paul Thomas Anderson makes gooood films such as Boogie
Nights, Magnolia and Punchdrunk Love.

Paul W S Anderson makes crap, but reasonably entertaining
pap such as Event Horizon, Resident Evil and Mortal Kombat.
