Daily Dialogue — October 5, 2017

“Don’t fight it son. Confess quickly! If you hold out too long you could jeopardize your credit rating.”

— Brazil (1985), screenplay by Terry Gilliam & Tom Stoppard & Charles McKeown

The Daily Dialogue theme for the week: Interrogation.

Trivia: The second in Terry Gilliam’s “Trilogy of Imagination”. The first was Time Bandits (1981), and the third was The Adventures of Baron Munchausen (1988). All three films are about escapes from an awkward, ordered society, seen through the eyes of a child, a man in his 30s, and an elderly man.

Dialogue On Dialogue: Who doesn’t love an interrogation scene led by a guy wearing a pig mask and the victim threatened with a lower credit rating?
