brazil

so the two criteria that i will establish to judge brazil will be the cinematic prowess and the acting. the cinematic prowess was a little weak. the special effects seem to be okay for a B movie in the 80s but not for a novie of any kind of merit. the story line was incredibly hard to follow and keep straight. all in all the cinematic prowess of this film was the worst i have ever seen; and i watch lots of movies. the acting was okay. i wouldnt give it two thumbs up. come to think of it i dont even think i would give it one thumb up. we'll just give it half a thumb. there were certain parts of the movie that were acted out quite well and there were others that were just plain ridiculous. i seriously wanted to give this movie a chance. and i did, but the quality of the acting and the movie as a whole was just plain bad. it wasnt even the fact that i had to watch it for class, it just sucked. :-)
