At first glance, I felt that Brazil was a very stupid, pointless movie. As we watched it, I shook my head and wondered why we were watching it. Once it was over I liked it just because of how wacky and stupid it was. I felt like I'd wasted what was an eternity watching it and that the joke was on me.
After the discussion however, I felt so ignorant, that I had missed so many of the main themes, some extremely obvious others more subtle. The theme that caught my attention the most was the whole bureaucracy that was present throughout the duration of the film. Everyone in the film was governed by the desks and paperwork. Their whole world was controlled and boring. This is what made Tuttle so much of a cool character, he was a rebel in his own right; in this bureaucratic world. He didn't want to do all the paperwork so, he expedited the entire process of fixing air conditioners.
