HERE IS THE SONG FROM THE DISNEY FILM THAT GILLIAM NAMED HIS FILM AFTER - BRAZIL
Gilliam's Brazil evokes the melancholy, dreamlike quality of its theme song, an English translation of a 1939 Brazilian song, "Aquarela do Brasil," featured in Disney's Saludos Amigos (1942).
In that escapist film, Brazil is represented as a romantic, fantasy location that is the opposite of gloomy, northern countries.
The film BRAZIL centers on Sam Lowry, a young man trying to find a woman who appears in his dreams while he is working in a mind-numbing job and living a life in a small apartment, set in a dystopian world in which there is an over-reliance on poorly maintained (and rather whimsical) machines. Brazil's bureaucratic, totalitarian government is reminiscent of the government depicted in George Orwell's Nineteen Eighty-Four, except that it has a buffoonish, slap-stick quality, and lacks any kind of figurehead.
Gilliam was inspired by this song to create the fictional totalitarian government and the overall dystopian mood of the film.
What Gilliam created over 25 years ago appears to be playing out on the world stage today.
Here is the song from Gilliam's film
The lyrics differ slightly depending on the version...
Brazil, where hearts were entertaining June
We stood beneath an amber moon
And softly whispered, "Someday soon"
We kissed and clung together
Then - tomorrow was another day
The morning found me miles away
With still a million things to say
Now, when twilight beams the skies above
Recalling thrills of our love
There's one thing I'm certain of
Return, I will, to old Brazil
Gilliam's
