Violence in Brazil is not only disturbing, it is
completely mad! Sam Lowry's entire adventure
can be almost deemed to be entirely fictitious
and a blur between reality and imagination as
it can be argued he has been going through
information retrieval. The violent acts of
terrorism that occur seem to spawn precisely
during moments of peril for the main character,
and reveals the power of dream can be a
force against suppression and government
control. Most notably, the events with Mr.
Tuttle act as the effective hero for bypassing
paperwork forms to fix the mechanical
equipment, and the grand escape from torture
and subsequent destruction of the Ministry of
Information.
The government having the ability to bypass
any civilian rights through legal red tape is
another aspect of Brazil that creates a sense
of madness throughout the film. It remove any
responsibility from the government in terms of
any controversial actions, but also allows
through clauses and loop holes to subject
anyone for questioning and torture to silence
rebellion. It is through this madness that
dreams can become an escape, yet quickly
turn into a nightmare, making them a violent
struggle within one's mind.
