Brazil (1985)

The first time I saw Brazil, I wasn't quite sure what to make of it. The brilliance of the visuals was obvious but I wasn’t sure if it was a film I'd ever return to. Watching it again, it's grown on me. I have tremendous admiration for this picture.

Sam Lowry (Jonathan Pryce) is an unambitious government employee who daydreams of heroics and love. In a world ruled by paperwork, suspicion is the norm and nothing appears to work properly. The air is pregnant with a mix of apathy and fear as everyone is desperate not to be blamed for a clerical error that has resulted in the arrest of Archibald Buttle (Brian Miller). When Sam tries to rectify the mistake, it sends him on an unexpected path.

Brazil features a unique vision of a dystopia. This is writer/director Terry Gilliam's nightmare. It’s an Earth where everyone is working at an office. Nobody really knows what they’re doing and when they're confronted with a problem, they panic. People run around like chickens with their heads chopped off until they realize they can simply forward it to another department. In the bureaucracy's attempt to cut costs and fix what no one but them believed to be broken, they've created an endless maze of forms and references from which there is no escape. The brilliance of it is that the world of Brazil is scary, but also hilariously inefficient and broken.

The production is first-rate. It’s a beautiful picture to simply look at. The visuals are striking and varied. In a lot of dystopian tales, everything is dull and gray. Here, we get some nice little twists on that idea and the bland palette is broken up with the breathtaking dream sequences. Far from weird for weirdness’ sake, they enhance the mood. If there's a 1984-style future where the little guy might stand a chance without it feeling like a pollyanna fantasy, it's this film. For each character that causes goosebumps, there’s a nut that will make you think that maybe, just maybe, things’ll be ok at the end. It all works because of the love story. If we didn’t have the dream girl (played by Kim Greist), you wouldn’t truly believe Sam’s character and the ending wouldn’t have the impact that it does. This movie is about a lot of things. The madness that’s inherent in oversized offices, the inefficiency of big systems, escape through imagination, and more - just waiting to be discovered.

Brazil contains magnificent performances. Jonathan Pryce - in particular - stands out. He sells you as an everyman in a crazy world and when he gets swept up in this story, it’s that much more of a nail-biter. You instantly sympathize with the guy. Originally, the film's U.S. release was supposed to run much shorter and would've featured an ending that was the tonal opposite of the one we got. I can’t imagine it working. Brazil ends on the perfect note. It is a bit long in the tooth during the middle, sometimes a little excessively weird but that’s ok. If you don’t know what to make of it at first, give it some time and revisit it later. I know that sounds like homework. It’s not. This is just one of those films that has so much going on you're likely to miss some of it the first time around. Brazil is just short of being perfect but in a way, that almost makes it more charming. (Director’s Cut on DVD, October 28, 2016)

RIP Ian Holm T^T... Lord of the Rings fan art I made awhile ago. Bilbo telling his adventure to his dear Frodo. I love this movie so much❤️ --------- Bilbo's Last Song by J. R. R. Tolkien. Day is ended, dim my eyes, But journey long before me lies. Farewell, friends! I hear the call. The ship's beside the stony wall. Foam is white and waves are grey; beyond the sunset leads my way. Foam is salt, the wind is free; I hear the rising of the sea. Farewell, friends! The sails are set, the wind is east, the moorings fret. Shadows long before me lie, beneath the ever-bending sky, but islands lie behind the Sun that I shall raise ere all is done; lands there are to west of West, where night is quiet and sleep is rest. Guided by the Lonely Star, beyond the utmost harbour-bar, I'll find the heavens fair and free, and beaches of the Starlit Sea. Ship my ship! I seek the West, and fields and mountains ever blest. Farewell to Middle-earth at last. I see the star above my mast! --------- #LordoftheRings #LOTR #Bilbo #Frodo #Fanart #IanHolm #Tolkien https://www.instagram.com/p/CBomjGCDwON/?igshid=2mi7s8m5y2cq

A full two decades before he charmed and terrified the world in LOTR, Sir Ian Holn scarred an entire generation as Ash, the science officer with a murderous secret in Ridley Scott’s seminal sci-fi classic “Alien”. He will not soon be forgotten. #rip #ianholm #sirianholm #alien #alien1979 #tribute #drawing #fanart #sketch #portraitart #scifi #perfectorganism #youhavemysympathies https://www.instagram.com/p/CBozUdrgy1s/?igshid=gsmzl980fc51

As I’ve mentioned before, I grew up loving The Lord of the Rings book series (and probably more intensely) the film series. I actually just re-watched Fellowship of the Ring last week with my brother, hoping it would act as a balm to the craziness that is 2020. And it worked.

.

Fellowship is probably my favorite film of the trilogy, as nothing beats meeting all the characters for the first time (you have to leave them all in ROTK 😭), and Peter and Fran and Philippa really knock it out of the park with the casting of those characters. Everyone works so incredibly well. Especially Ian Holm as Bilbo.

.

Ian Holm lead a successful career onstage and onscreen before and after his time on Lord of the Rings, but since I’m a die-hard fan, in honoring his work and life… I’m gonna share one my favorite Bilbo scenes.

.

It’s the scene with Gandalf. I quote it all the time. The lil pout in “Why shouldn’t I keep it?” and the growl right before, “What business is it of yours what I do with my own things!” and (my personal favorite) the air boxing right before, “YOU WANT IT FOR YOURSELF!” It’s all gold and the perfect depiction of how fun but also masterful Ian Holm’s performances always were. The fact that these lines are so quotable to me, I genuinely act them out when the opportunity presents itself, probably stems from the amount of times I’ve watched this movie, but also, more importantly, because Ian Holm’s performance is hard to forget.
