He ranaway, and get into the battle against his own company.

COMMENTS: Very soon after begining of the movie you realize that photography remindes quite to some particular movies. After you get connection with Brazil, you are held with that expression during whole movie. I couldn´t find anything that makes this movie authentic. It could be very interesting for those who haven´t read Orwell allready or nhaven´t seen hundrets of movies based on Orwells impression of WWII period. No exact extremes in the movie, pretty predictable scenes, very bad mix of drama, action, fiction that in the end you cannot say for sure what it actually is.

Typical Brazil ending that makes you think: They could at least do happy ending.

However, it is not totally waste of time if you take a look at this one.
