Default Hey Frowny - Office Space vs. Brazil

The more I think about it the more parallels I'm coming up with between these two movies. You up for trying to come up with as many as we can? I'll start.

Spoiler for #1:
Peter and the TPS reports vs. Harry Tuttle literally being consumed by paperwork/bureaucracy.

Office Space is basically Brazil, only less artsy and more comedic/charming.

They are both Dystopian themed films imo. Office Space is a little less obvious about though, I think because it's not Sci-fi based Dystopian film.

Ya, hadn't realized it until started thinking about it yesterday.

Spoiler for #2:
The two Bob's pretty much parallel Jack Lint. Hard-working, charming, driven, and totally unscrupulous.
