Brazil
《妙想天開》（1985）

We've seen Terry Gilliam's Brazil three times, and we're still not sure what's going on. Something about a dystopian future? A man named Sam Lowry is hired to investigate a printer jam that led to the accidental imprisonment and death of a regular citizen, Archibald Buttle, instead of a wanted terrorist, Archibald Tuttle. Is that what's going on? We have no idea. The terrorist (played by Robert De Niro) is also an air-conditioner repairman who at one point helps Lowry fix his broken AC. Some people are arrested; other people fall into a bottomless casket during a funeral. Then things get really weird. Is Brazil supposed to be real, or is the entire story unfolding in the mind of its main character, a delusional, doped-up Lowry who has been declared clinically ? Who knows.

特瑞·吉列姆的電影《妙想天開》我一共看了三次，但仍對影片要講的東西似乎依舊一知半解。打印機(jī)的一個小錯誤導(dǎo)致了普通人阿奇巴德·巴特被捕和慘死，這次行動的真正目標(biāo)是受到通緝的恐怖分子阿奇巴德·塔特。薩姆·羅瑞受命調(diào)查此事。然后呢？我不知道。羅伯特·德尼羅飾演的恐怖分子的另外一個身份是曾為羅瑞修理空調(diào)的空調(diào)修理師。有些人被捕，還有些人則在葬禮上跌落到了無底的棺材中。一切都是這么瘋狂。這部電影描寫的是現(xiàn)實(shí)、還是在向觀眾不斷呈現(xiàn)精神錯亂、充滿幻想的薩姆·羅瑞的內(nèi)心世界？
