But Brazil's message ultimately seems to be, Retreat into your own mind . For this reason, I find Brazil unsatisfying. Bleak, bleak, bleak. Yes, you can argue that its point is such bleakness. Maybe not the answer, but an answer nonetheless.
Brazil seems to offer art without heart.
I don't want a horrible future without the possibility of rebellion. I think that the one demands the other. I don't know, maybe I just find the message here to be an insurmountable obstacle. And I never really found it amusing. Just dark and icky.
