October 24th, 2024, Inktober Prompt # 24 - Expedition. One of the best expedition films, in my top 3 will always be the quest for the Holy Grail from of course, the greatest comedy film from 1975, "Monty Python and the Holy Grail."

Brazil (1985)

The first time I saw Brazil, I wasn't quite sure what to make of it. The brilliance of the visuals was obvious but I wasn’t sure if it was a film I'd ever return to. Watching it again, it's grown on me. I have tremendous admiration for this picture.

Sam Lowry (Jonathan Pryce) is an unambitious government employee who daydreams of heroics and love. In a world ruled by paperwork, suspicion is the norm and nothing appears to work properly. The air is pregnant with a mix of apathy and fear as everyone is desperate not to be blamed for a clerical error that has resulted in the arrest of Archibald Buttle (Brian Miller). When Sam tries to rectify the mistake, it sends him on an unexpected path.

Brazil features a unique vision of a dystopia. This is writer/director Terry Gilliam's nightmare. It’s an Earth where everyone is working at an office. Nobody really knows what they’re doing and when they're confronted with a problem, they panic. People run around like chickens with their heads chopped off until they realize they can simply forward it to another department. In the bureaucracy's attempt to cut costs and fix what no one but them believed to be broken, they've created an endless maze of forms and references from which there is no escape. The brilliance of it is that the world of Brazil is scary, but also hilariously inefficient and broken.

The production is first-rate. It’s a beautiful picture to simply look at. The visuals are striking and varied. In a lot of dystopian tales, everything is dull and gray. Here, we get some nice little twists on that idea and the bland palette is broken up with the breathtaking dream sequences. Far from weird for weirdness’ sake, they enhance the mood. If there's a 1984-style future where the little guy might stand a chance without it feeling like a pollyanna fantasy, it's this film. For each character that causes goosebumps, there’s a nut that will make you think that maybe, just maybe, things’ll be ok at the end. It all works because of the love story. If we didn’t have the dream girl (played by Kim Greist), you wouldn’t truly believe Sam’s character and the ending wouldn’t have the impact that it does. This movie is about a lot of things. The madness that’s inherent in oversized offices, the inefficiency of big systems, escape through imagination, and more - just waiting to be discovered.

Brazil contains magnificent performances. Jonathan Pryce - in particular - stands out. He sells you as an everyman in a crazy world and when he gets swept up in this story, it’s that much more of a nail-biter. You instantly sympathize with the guy. Originally, the film's U.S. release was supposed to run much shorter and would've featured an ending that was the tonal opposite of the one we got. I can’t imagine it working. Brazil ends on the perfect note. It is a bit long in the tooth during the middle, sometimes a little excessively weird but that’s ok. If you don’t know what to make of it at first, give it some time and revisit it later. I know that sounds like homework. It’s not. This is just one of those films that has so much going on you're likely to miss some of it the first time around. Brazil is just short of being perfect but in a way, that almost makes it more charming. (Director’s Cut on DVD, October 28, 2016)

The Final Python : Michael Palin . Something I’m not sure I equated into this series was how fun drawing their late 60’s early 70’s hairstyles. Quite an interesting set of bouffants 😂 . #montypython #anniversary #flyingcircus #michaelpalin #digitalart #digitalartist #caricature #procreate https://www.instagram.com/p/CAaypzUBa4a/?igshid=1nzggdwgjjkjc

Hey guys! I’ve started a Monty Python fan fiction, primarily focused on Terry Jones and Michael Palin. It’s an adventure story (and does include the other Pythons, don’t worry)!

Feel free to check it out! 

So far I have one chapter published, but I’ve got a couple more written- and the cover is temporary.
