I think roughly knowing the overall plot and the direction the movie takes helps you see more details and some of the things that are buried just a little deeper and so when I recommend it to people, I always mention they should watch it again sometime later in life.

Out of the Terry Gilliam films, The Fisher King is my favourite by a gnat's whisker. I've connected with and love the plot and characters in that movie more than in any other drama I've seen although I'll admit that Brazil is the more interesting of the two. Both these are films I've owned now for years that I watch again now and then. I make sure I don't get tired of them, though.

I liked brazil... but I was hoping for more 1984ish. I read somewhere a few years ago it was suppose to be called 1984 but another movie already had that title that year. I mean it had large amount of elements but didn't fit the bill completely.

Actually, Terry Gilliam admits in an audio commentary to Brazil to never having read George Orwell's 1984 although he did say it was an inspiration.

I much prefer the title Brazil which of course is a reference to the song Aquarela Do Brasil (now usually just called Brazil) .. which is used in the movie to represent Sam's dream of love and freedom from the suffocating society he is and becomes more so a victim of.

****in' CRAZY!! It got cheesy toward the end with the dialogue, though.
I absolutely love Howl's Moving Castle, it does get pretty mind-fucky at some points. Maybe a little cheesy too, but whatever.


Spirited Away is even better though, if you haven't seen it go watch it right now.

I watched this the other day, completely tuned out due to its utter lack of magic as the cartoon the Wind in the Willows has. I love British humour, but these guys just looked like fat men with animal parts being irritating.

All I remember from reading Wind in The Willows is that the there was a scene where heaps of toast were described and I was ****ing starving then.

Is that weird?
