Was watching a BBC report from the Belarus/Poland border that was basically “Children of Men” recreated; refugees, razor wire, beatings by police in body armour in the snow.

Great to see Terry Gilliam's 'Brazil' invoked.

Brazil was the film 1984 should have been.

I can remember making a special trip to a Leicester Square cinema
to see Brazil with a couple of mates.
None of the locals were ever likely to show it.

First saw it on a black and white portable TV in a caravan in Donegal. Blew my tiny mind.

A slightly flawed film by a flawed genius, it will always be in my top 10.

Lol’d.

Didn’t know Brazil referred to a film, makes more sense now.

Idiocracy is missing from that diagram

Such a good film!

"One of the big things was Crocs," Cohen remembered. "Our production designer [Darren Gilford] had everyone wearing Crocs in the movie. We didn't even know what they were. Mike was like, 'You'd have to be an idiot to wear these!' By the time the movie came out, everyone was wearing them."

Gilliam's 'Brazil' has a great back story.

Time Bandits.

Everyone knows the first in a trilogy is the best.

Is that real 😂

Is anything anymore?

Nostalgia ain't what it used to be

God yeah. Curse the evil advertising genius that discovered you could infer relatable profundity to ANYTHING by employing this technique. Plinky piano breathy pop cover, an ordinary but well lived life in insta-filtered flashback with a relatable regional accent voiceover; and suddenly we all deeply feel that our lino floor tiles were there for us when we lost our virginity, cried cos our nan died and our kids were born.*wipes away tears of wonder and joy... I LOVE YOU LINO FLOOR TILES!
