Minute 9: Brazil
The effect is supposed to make you feel like you’ve entered a world of infinite bureaucratic hallways. This dystopia sprawls.
But I can’t help a different feeling.
What if these are the only two hallways?
Where the DEPARTMENT OF RECORDS occurs.
That Terry Gilliam made.
Is that better or worse?
This is the only place you get to see.
This is everything you get to see.
These are the only people you get to meet.
This is everyone you get to meet.
Elijah Sparkman on minute 9 of Brazil by Terry Gilliam.
