I've got to ask the question:
`Plan 9 from Bell Labs' - the name alluded to the film `Plan 9 from
Outer Space', which generated a cult following, because, apart from
being Bela Lugosi's last film, it was probably one of the worst ever
made. The BBC showed it at one time, with all the errors/mistakes etc
emphasised.
I presume Brazil is named after Terry Gilliam's film - but I have to
admit that I liked Brazil, despite its depressing story - there's so
much `happenning' in the film, and what must be one of De Niro's most
challenging roles - a freelance heating engineer.
Have I goofed, failed to see irony, or what?
Alistair
