lol what?
Hated it the first time I saw it but I watched it 10 years later and I appreciate the movie now. Our world and brasil's pretty much the same, degeneracy and bureaucracy have taken hold.

Not at all, bureaucracy is much smaller nowadays than in the time this movie was made. Our machines are way smaller and more efficient than the ones portrayed in the movie, and "degeneracy" is completely relative. I thought Brazil was way too close in theme to 1984.

Gilliam claims to have never even read it.

The word you plebs are looking for is "Kafkaesque."

Are you fucking dumb? The film's great.

Wound up for the best, then. If he had read it, he might have seen the proximity in theme and not have made his movie. So, it's a good thing we have them both.

They are thematically nothing alike. The theme of 1984 is totalitarian control arising from a pervasive system of propaganda and an unfailing panopticon.
The theme of Brazil is man's helplessness in the clutches of an uncaring and incompetent bureaucracy.
The only thing they have in common is that they're both post-industrial dystopian visions.

Oh I know what Kafkaesque means.
