- Brazil (film) (allthetropes.org)
A 1985 film directed by Terry Gilliam, depicting one man’s futile struggle against a futuristic (and heavily decayed) governmental bureaucracy, drawing very heavily on George Orwell’s 1984. Stakes a serious claim towards being the most definite and ghastly example of Executive Meddling in the entire history of cinema. If you’re not watching the director’s cut, you’re not watching the real thing.
Don’t fight it, son. Confess quickly! If you hold out too long you could jeopardize your credit rating.
