What does “Brazil”, “Bee Movie” “Wall-E” & “Eli Stone” Have in Common?
They all use the same music which was featured in “Brazil” - the song I think is Central Services/The Office’ by Michael Kamen, from the Brazil soundtrack (found that on Yahoo! answers… soon to be Microsoft answers?). Or Aquarela do Brasil.
It kinda makes sense that “Bee Movie” uses it since the movie is a sort of bizarro-dystopia-lite - where at the end of the movie, the totalitarian state is right (bees should all work and keep making honey). But I don’t get where “Wall-E” is involved - maybe in the sense that in the great struggle between man and machine, the cute robot wins out so long as he’s industrious even though no on is there to boss him around? As for the “Eli Stone” - the TV show featuring a lawyer who sees the future, maybe what they’re suggesting is that, yes you can do great things in the system, all you need do is open your eyes and you will see there is redemption in the work you do pushing papers.
