If one were to consider my thesis for the final paper: Love in film noir leads to the downfall of the protagonist it is evident that the argument would not be very strong if I did not include Brazil. A story of a man who drastically changes his life in the pursuit of love. Sam Lowery a man who liked his simple repetetive life, and turned down any opportunity of advancement decides to change everything so that he may find a woman. The woman he searched for was literally the woman of his dreams. He often dreamt of her as a sort of fairy, trapped in a cage. Lowery played the hero in his dreams, and angel of sorts sent from the heavens to save her, to protect her from the darkness, and an evil entity similar to a samurai. He left his job to get access to information on this woman. He learns her files are on a different floor so he takes a lift which malfunctioned but gave him the opportunity to see her. She was arguing with the door guard about a wrongful arrest. Once he finally gets to his beloved Jill, he whisks her off and they have a wild ride. This ride eventually led them on a sort of lovers crime spree. With the adrenaline in their system from their crime spree they succumb to their animalistic passion, and fornicate. The day after finding his love, bonding with her, and being with her he freefalls to his destruction, his downfall. He is arrested and put in a sanitarium. In this sanitarium he is tortured to the point of a mental breakdown. He has a dream, or a hallucination of being saved, and living happily ever after. Unfortunately though his quest for love left broken, destroyed. No longer was Sam Lowery badge DZ-015, no longer would he wake up to coffee drenched toast, or a home with a crappy electrical system. Instead he was just a vegetable.
