Brazil and distopies post 6

 
  In the decade of the seventy, after the hippie culture in the United States and punk in the UK. Together with the conflicts of the modern era and ideologies that lies after the second world war. The powerfull states of men transformed cities in metrópolis. The publicity modified the behaviour of masses to a search of identity through the adquired of goods of consumism. And yet the future looked dishopeful.
  The film is influenced by works critical of modern bureaucracy society such as 1984 or the Process and would feature a surrealism based on the dreams and perceptions of the protagonist. It begins with a system error that caused the arrest of a humble innocent father. So, Sam, who is an office clerk without a clear goal-seeking, has to give the receipt for a father who would have died in strange circumstances. Meanwhile he dreams and imagines himself by flying through the skies. But in the reality his mother moves influences to relieve him to a position that he doesn't really want. Sam will try to find the girl of his dreams and to live in peace, but the society and his hows won't let it.
Full of simbolism from the apartment buildings so high that you can't see the street from the hallway to the total automation of the house that works inefficiently.
 One of the best scenes in the film consists of one of Sam's officemates has to torture him because of his crimes, showing us the disociation of the human being like a tool from state of consumism.
