I used to didn't like Terry Gilliam's Brazil. I thought it -- at the time -- to be pretentious and unwieldy with its plot.

However, I've come to appreciate it. It was a film well before its time because it outlined a problem we, as a people, were not facing when it hit theatres.

Today? Today, however, everything that the film portrayed as a nightmare scenario is practically true at this very moment -- a dystopian hellscape of bureaucracy that keeps you trapped in a cycle of nonsense until you break or comply.
