![]() Spoiler: Brazil NVM. I had it backward. The Gilliam ending did make it into the theaters. It was the studio ending that only got put on DVD: [ QUOTE ] It may be Gilliam's career high point to date, but the director's clash with Universal Pictures over getting "Brazil" released in the cut he intended is almost as famous as the film itself (see Jack Mathews' book "The Battle of Brazil" for a blow-by-blow). Universal chairman Sid Sheinberg's infamous if ultimately TV-only "Love Conquers All" cut, included on Criterion's 1999 special edition three-disc DVD release, involves plenty of additions and subtractions, but none more significant than the alteration of the ending, which the studio found too dark. In the Sheinberg edit, Jonathan Pryce's Sam wakes up in the idyllic country house he's escaped to with ladylove Jill, and declares that he "doesn't dream anymore." Soaring music, clouds and...Fin! Of course, Gilliam's version of the film then cuts to Mr. Helpmann and Jack Lint, who've been torturing Sam in the Information Retrieval Room. The final shot, of Sam smiling cheerfully and humming, sanity clearly gone, is bleakly perfect. Too perfect to mess with — Gilliam ultimately prevailed in getting it into theaters. [/ QUOTE ] |
