Has anyone ever seen a weird movie called “Brazil”

One of the characters (I think played by Robert Duvall) goes around making things work — which makes him a criminal in the eyes of the authorities. It was utterly ridiculous.

This is the same kind of thing. Only in real life

From the movie “Brazil”?
That would be Harry Tuttle, heating engineer.

The superhero superintendent, doing battle with broken furnaces and
government bureaucracy….

I recall characters in the film eating from cans generically labelled "food". Which is likely part of Elizabeth Warren's ideal world scenario.

Actually, it is the execrable Robert De Niro. I cannot stand him.

But I enjoyed the movie otherwise!
