Le Guin), Red Moon (Kim Stanley Robinson); past television and movies include Arrival, Blink (Doctor Who), Serenity and The Train Job (Firefly), and The Day the Earth Stood Still.

We’ll discuss the 1985 movie “Brazil”, directed by Terry Gilliam.
From Wikipedia:
“In a dystopian, polluted, hyper-consumerist, overbearing, bureaucratic, totalitarian future based on elements of the 20th century, Sam Lowry is a low-level government employee who frequently dreams of himself as a winged warrior saving a damsel in distress. … ”
The movie is available on Amazon Prime Video, the Criterion Collection, and probably several other places.
