Isn't this the movie about this one concentration camp survivor seeking out Nazis in hiding?

That's The Boys from Brazil. :lol
I gave it a 9.5, and later bought it. I'm off the hook here. Comparing me to someone who hates Godfather AND Brazil ain't fair!
This news is unsurprising and par for the course. Did you miss his analysis of Slaughterhouse Five? Or Raiders of the Lost Ark?what did I say about indiana jones?
before somebody menstruates on me since abrader mentioned it, yes I still absolutely hate clockwork orange.
I have different tastes. I know how to read arabic.
Deniro is a plus for Brazil...the winged dream sequences are not :(I agree, the movie is fun but I don't get the hype for it.
I'm making a funny tauntaun.

You'd have to be pretty damn distinguished mentally-challenged to think [Indiana Jones] movies are fun, and coming from me that's a big insult.
Seems like you missed one of the points of the film Nintenho. The combination of fantasy and reality was central to the plot, and while the sudden switches are a bit random at times they make perfect sense in context. As the film progresses Lowry's ability to separates fantasy from reality deteriorates to the point where he finally escapes the physical and mental prison of his dystopian society. The trailer of the movie says Brazil is "only a state of mind", and that's how I saw it as well. Lowry finally escaped to a place where no amount of bureaucracy, group think, or fascism could effect him

Thats funny coming from you PD. You understand the movie completly but you still dont "get it"
I don't like scorsese because while goodfellas was all right, raging bull was all style and had a character you couldn't care about (even by biography standards it was horrible), aviator was pretty underwhelming because the only thing it paid attention to was the fact that the guy might have OCD and not what effect the time period might have on him, departed was pretty mediocre in every way and the fact that it was based on another movie and has some pretty horrible plot choices that make it worse then that movie makes it also bad, and I really don't see what got taxi driver praise. I might not have understood that one or what made it more than a possible oscar for a "yes man" who made a box office hit, so if it was actually good I would appreciate somebody explaining that.
Spielberg also hasn't made any really good movies in my opinion. Munich was all right. Schindler's List didn't really seem to be about the war, about the internment camps, you really don't see any character development in it. Indie movies weren't very fun. Jaws was a good idea for studios but you felt stupider after you saw it. I can't think of any other movies of his that might be considered good.
The only thing I saw of Kubrick was Full Metal Jacket and I hated that pretty much the whole way through. Any relevant look at the vietnam war would show the politics, not some fucking drill sergeant getting shot by a psycho.
Tarantino is good, Resorvoir Dogs was probably the first crime movie I saw that felt real. Pulp Fiction wasn't as good in my opinion but Kill Bill, which you could say has no redeeming qualities in writing, was awesome.
PD and am nintenho must review The Third Man! I need to see their hilarious opinions.

This is probably the worse post of all time
Watch and review The Third Man!
That's one of my major issues with this, why show 50% of the movie as a hallucination/dream? we get that a world like that would be fucked up, so try to develop the character trying to "better" himself. at least that's what I'd like.
