sentences:  All three movies focus on these struggles and attempts to escape them through imagination—"Time Bandits", through the eyes of a child, "Brazil", through the eyes of a man in his thirties, and "Munchausen", through the eyes of an elderly man.In 2013, Gilliam also called "Brazil" the first instalment of a dystopian satire trilogy it forms with 1995's "12 Monkeys" and 2013's "The Zero Theorem" (though he would later deny having said this).Gilliam has stated that "Brazil" was inspired by George Orwell's "Nineteen Eighty-Four"—which he has admitted never having read—but is written from a contemporary perspective rather than looking to the future as Orwell did.
