Elect your leader...

As the US had by the time of the screening already elected their new (or old) president, I propose watching a quite funny yet none of the less provocative shot by the "Monty Python and the Holy Grail" director Terry Gilliam - Brazil (1985). By the way he also Co-wrote a good part of the Flying Circus, The Life of Brian, The Meaning of life, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas (which he also directed) to name just some of his "better-known" titles.
So why should this film be of any relevance to the election process? Well, it turns out that the action is placed somewhere in the not so distant future, but somehow everything got overly bureaucratic and controlled. A world where no mistakes are supposed to happen, but which as it turns out, are happening every moment. So called terrorists are lurking everywhere and the frequent bombing do not really bother anybody anymore. They just continue eating... A messy reality, on a further orbit than that which we confront on a daily basis, yet still close enough to allow parallels to be drawn. However you look at it - it's great comedy, fantastic sarcasm and great imagery. On BlueRay!
