I'm a 40 years old from neighboring Bulgaria and remember quite well what was back then in 1988. But have no intention on arguing about the truthfulness of the movie.
I was curious to see the development and yes - the end was indeed a disappointment with its unreality. But more intriguing was to ascertain something that I notice the last few years - a fear that seemingly shakes certain circles. Fear originating from the growing desire and struggle of more and more people and groups for social equality and rights. Once again in history.
As these movements go stronger the propaganda machine is breaking up to spread the fear from the communist ghost again. As it was during the First and Second Red Scare, through Reagan's and Thatcher's ruling... and apparently will be every time in future until critical mass of people takes out the air from these circles by not playing by their rules.
P.S. Pity for the money, spent on this creation.

The movie is brilliant - the people before me have said it. Then why am I writing about it?
There are few films telling something important. Brazil has made one.
It makes you think - an action that lots of us tend to forget... It thrills you, it makes you cry, it makes you angry. It makes you willing to do something.
Don't be surprised if you feel that it filled an empty space in you.
There is still a strangling feeling 1 hour after the end of the movie... Because I saw a life so common to what we have here in Eastern Europe. And I realized how close to each other we really are. The truth is common.
So, prepare for a hard and impacting movie.
