BRAZIL (1985) Directed by Terri Gilliam

Right in the beginning of this assault of a movie, because of a "mistake" created by a fly in an automatic typewriter, a certain "Buttle" (instead of "Tuttle") becomes the prime suspect of a crime, and is immediately disposed of in a manner that not even Kubrick's coldness would have ever fashioned. His family looks around in disbelief and desperation and finally, our protagonist, Mr. Lowry is brought in to "fix" this tiny mistake. This premise opens up a film that takes Orwell's 1984's future into the most chaotic and frantic of all the dystopic movie worlds ever created by a rational human mind.
