Lots of you saying the ending was unsettling, I think it was triumphant. There was no place for Pryce’s character in that world, he didn’t belong there. He could only live in his dreams, so that’s where he went. It’s fucked up, hilarious, and it made my heart soar.
The scary part is. What if the movie was somehow a documentary about "me". Where i have gone insane. And i have no way to prove it nor disprove it. That's the scary part. That it could happen to us without knowing
It’s triumphant for a man who’s late to the party and his only reason to defect is because of his selfish desires…. I’d say it ends in a whimper, sure he still has his imagination but that’s all it’ll ever be, no one will hear of THE Sam Larry just know he’s lost.
I am the most pessimistic motherfucker in the world and the ending to Brazil was absolutely everything that I feared would come, and I fucking love it.
thanks for posting...i saw this movie 20something years ago, as a teen, and never got it out of my head...its an all time favorite and this song/ track is just as timeless...great movie, brilliant music!
@ootahee I used to think that it was really bleak too. Now, I'm not so sure. Sam is reduced to being a vegetable in the real world, but in his mind he gets the girl and escapes from the nightmare that was his everyday life.
I agree about that feeling of the music feeling 'bleak' at the end of the movie - interesting as it's such an up-beat piece of music! It's actually perfect for the poignant ending of the movie - was it a happy or a sad ending? With both the conclusion of the story and the playing of this music it's hard to tell - and that's great!
Esta música foi composta em 1939 por Ari Barroso. Is the leitmotif of the movie, (Brazil) although other background music is also utilized by Michael Kamen
This music, known as Brazil, was composed by the Brazilian composer ARY BARROSO (no Michael Kamen) in 1939 as "Aquarela do Brasil" NOTABLE RECORDINGS: 1942 Jimmy Dorsey recording on Decca, 18460B. 2008 Grammy Hall of Fame inductee. The song has received many successful recordings through the years, being played in many different genres, ranging from its original samba genre to disco. It is one of the 20 most recorded songs of all time. In 1943, Spanish-born bandleader Xavier Cugat reached number two on the Best Sellers List and number nine on the Harlem Hit Parade with his version of "Brazil".[8] Django Reinhardt recorded "Brazil" three times between 1947 and 1953. In 1957, Frank Sinatra recorded the song in Come Fly With Me album. He was followed by other successful artists of the time such as Bing Crosby, Ray Conniff, and Paul Anka. Other successful Brazilian singers such as Antônio Carlos Jobim, Erasmo Carlos, João Gilberto (with Caetano Veloso, Gilberto Gil, and Maria Bethânia), Gal Costa, and Simone also recorded versions of the song at the same period. The song was featured prominently in Terry Gilliam's 1985 film Brazil, which was named after it. It was recorded by Geoff Muldaur for the soundtrack, but parts of the song were also incorporated throughout the orchestral score by Michael Kamen, including a Kate Bush version. Afterwards, in the 1990s, it was recorded by both Harry Belafonte and Dionne Warwick. In 2007, singer-songwriter Daniela Mercury, which recorded the most recent cover of the song by a Brazilian artist, was invited to perform the song at the end of the opening ceremony of the XV Pan American Games, held in Rio de Janeiro. In 2009, the Recording Academy added the 1942 recording of "Brazil (Aquarela do Brasil)" by Jimmy Dorsey & His Orchestra, released as Decca 18460B, to the Grammy Hall of Fame. Jimmy Dorsey was the first to record the song on July 14, 1942, and release it with the English lyrics by Bob Russell sung by Bob Eberly and Helen O'Connell. Also in 2009, American band Beirut performed "Brazil" for their live DVD Beirut: Live At The Music Hall Of Williamsburg. ITV used a cover of this song by Thiago Thomé as the theme song for their coverage of the 2014 FIFA World Cup which took place in Brazil in June and July 2014. During the tournament's opening ceremony, its first verses were performed live by Brazilian singer Claudia Leitte before being joined onstage by Pitbull and Jennifer Lopez to sing "We Are One (Ole Ola)".
Thank you, for the information, Katmandu! I've learned something new today. God, I love this song. It makes me feel young and summer is going to last forever
This song was written by Ary Barroso in 1939. It has been covered at least 100 times by various artists. The artwork (cover, above) says composed by Michael Kamen. That is not true. Kamen just did the arrangements for the movie. Try listening to Francisco Alves' version or Storm Large, who does a real powerful and upbeat version. Francisco Alves does his version in his native Portuguese. He was areal popular "crooner" in his day.
The cover title is about the original album soundtrack as in the score Kamen composed for the movie Brazil like the cue Central Services, not this actual song which is a cover re-arrangement.
This music is very danceable, contrast to the "stars and stripes forever", which sounds like a circus theme. One might expect to see a train of elephants enter the ring the trunks holding the tail of the next!
Terry said this the only movie with a happy ending where the hero goes insane. It’s not him that is insane it’s the entire human race. Wake the fuck up! WE ARE LIVING IN A DREAM WORLD! 🌀
Get it on Criterion there is a cut that has a happy ending and the behind the scenes elements explores how distributors wanted a commercial film not a commentary.
it's different because the government in brazil is incompetent while the one in 1984 is extremely competent. Demonstrated by how even the "resistance" in the 1984 is an illusion created by the government while in brazil tuttle a known government fugitive escapes because of a typo. Also the endings where sam escapes into his own head and winston is reintegrated into society are an extension of the the success of 1984s government and the failure of brazils.
More like Biden his whole group is incompetent: High inflation? Nah fam it’s good Illegal Immigration? Nah it’s all good IRS probing on bank accounts over 600$? Nah it’s fine we need to make sure no suspicious activity is happening. Diversity hires. Because we need representation. It’s way more inept than the trump era even post Covid. Failure after failure it appears the Dems nowadays truly are lost and inept. Especially with the recent election.
@@hopelessent.1700 You are correct for sure! The figureheads are there just for the show, and for handling the masses emotionaly. Both parties are different sides of the same coin...

I love this interpretation. It is this same for me - he won in the losing
It’s triumphant for a man who’s late to the party and his only reason to defect is because of his selfish desires…. I’d say it ends in a whimper, sure he still has his imagination but that’s all it’ll ever be, no one will hear of THE Sam Larry just know he’s lost.
Only Brazil fans feel melancholic and bittersweet while listening to this song. So long Sam Lowry.
Such a perfect ending; the song screams happy, but the visual screams hopelessness. Perfect insanity!
Just like real life Brazil
Terry Gilliam is a genius and a visionist.
he's remixing Blade Runner, Mad Max, 1984, A Clockwork Orange, Citizen Kane and others
Un film extraordinaire ❤
Something about this song makes the ending a lot more...unsettling.
Richard Beaubian insanity perhaps?
imo ~ That's because he loves his life again even though he knows it's a lie°
Maybe it's because of the people celebrating something that sounds victorious but it's actually the opposite.
Sergey Kamen from Russia (Crimea), musician. Maybe a relative ??
Sam's mind manages to escape despair. That's beautiful!

Never got it out of my heart and soul.
"We do the work, yo do the pleasure!"
Some fans in general: We want a sequel!
Brazil: *proceeds to make such an dark ending with happy music*
Yes, Brazil produced itself..
Meme kids, I tell ya..
I love this song. I so sad because Michael Kamen. He was a genius! By the way, I'm from Brasil.
So you might know the composer of this song was Ary Barroso, a countryman of yours.
aquarela do BRASIL. ARI BARROSO.
@ootahee I used to think that it was really bleak too. Now, I'm not so sure. Sam is reduced to being a vegetable in the real world, but in his mind he gets the girl and escapes from the nightmare that was his everyday life.
how can such a festive song make those who have seen the film melancholy ?! who knows when a remake
Film culte à revoir volontier, musique joyeusement magnifique !
You guys should make this your national anthem.
yep
This song makes me dream of Brasil and Carnival.

Grim for us, But to him, he doesn't have to deal with reality anymore and no one can disturb him anymore
There were two versions of this film with different endings.
happy music for sad people. the proof that God is mental

27B/6!!!!!! FUCKING PAPERWORK!!!!!!
i miss Michael Kamen
If he was alive, I would've loved to have worked with him.
...but this song does not belong to him but to Ary Barroso.
This is definitely going to one of my songs at my memorial too!

This always makes me think of ducts.
Thank you, for the information, Katmandu! I've learned something new today. God, I love this song. It makes me feel young and

For some reason this version reminds me more of the movie than the actual regular version of the song.
RIO 2016 is comming!!!
Words cannot describe how perfect this version of this song is. I listen to it everyday

Composed doesn't mean written. Anyone can recompose a written song in their style.
@@gotcha1885 Semantics. It's the same meaning; you write your compositions on the ledger.

This is now the world we live in. The only place to find some sanity is to retreat into your own mind. (Just remember kiddies, don't go insane).
You can't beat them beats!
;O)
@arkizzle77 I love the movies original ending and the re-edit version. The music matches perfectly . I love this song!!!
I wonder if the film "Brazil" is available on Netflix. Love to see it again!
I don't think so, i watched it recently on Amazon Prime. But you may be better off buying it
@@augustschachtholmgaard6311 Thank you.

Wonderful.

Love the cuica ! Playing one is fun as hell.
Thank you!
@arkizzle77 You are awesome! I've been trying to to buy one for years, but didn't know what it was called. Many thanks!

Didn't this used to be on the end of the Kate bush thing, who the hell put it as an extra, I will break them whoever it was. :)
For some reason this also reminds me of the soundtrack to 'Toys'.
Isn't this on the Wall-e trailer?
Sergey Kamen from Russia (Crimea), musician. Maybe a relative ??

@TheAltair4 Ya think?
what song is this ? whats the name?

Steel drums?
Have this song In mind as you watch Trump enter the White House
LOL

High inflation? Nah fam it’s good
Illegal Immigration? Nah it’s all good
IRS probing on bank accounts over 600$? Nah it’s fine we need to make sure no suspicious activity is happening.
