American Psycho (2000) - I laughed a couple of times, but I didn't feel anything else while watching it. I felt like the director was trying to say something to me, but I couldn't figure out what it was. Then I googled it and found a few explanations, but the most plausible one seemed to be that the film wanted to satirize yuppies, a phenomenon of the 80s in the USA. I'm not sure why anyone would be interested in that in 2000, let alone outside the USA. Then I also read an article about the original book on Lurkmore (it randomly appeared in the Google search) - it was simply written under the influence of substances and definitely didn't have any subtext, so that's clear.
Brazil (1985) - I expected a dystopia, but I got a dystopian comedy. It's a pretty interesting take on the genre, but I didn't really like it in the end. Most of the jokes are pretty flat, although I did laugh once during the film. The film is 2 hours long, but it was more enjoyable to watch than "American Psycho," probably because "Brazil" has a very clear plot, while "American Psycho" doesn't. Overall, despite the feeling that it was too long, I watched it without much dislike. It's watchable, but nothing more. The ending was disappointing; spoiler: and no, it wasn't the twist at the end, it was pretty good, but I was disappointed by how drawn out it was and the too obvious hints that it was all a dream.

Yes, drama is a thing.
By the way, if anyone can handle "Brazil" by Terry Gilliam, 1976 as far as I remember, then they deserve a solid five.

Should I tell you what the film is about? Or my opinion about the film? I just don't like the word "tell" in principle, and from your words, I didn't quite understand whether you watched it or are asking for advice on whether to watch it or not.
It's a bit boring. 7/10, and that's being generous. It's well-shot. There are a lot of different images, like Tuttle disappearing under a pile of papers, but they're boring. That's my personal opinion. Or rather, it's not the images themselves that are boring, but the atmosphere they're placed in.
Where do we end up when we save the world?
