Even as a young teenager reading this book (and seeing the film), I generally grasped it was depicting a declining, immoral, politically hypocritical, sexually perverse leftist society.
Its more true than ever.
From Wikipedia:
“The film centres on Sam Lowry, a low-ranking bureaucrat trying to find a woman who appears in his dreams while he is working in a mind-numbing job and living in a small apartment, set in a dystopian world in which there is an over-reliance on poorly maintained (and rather whimsical) machines. Brazil's satire of technocracy, bureaucracy, hyper-surveillance, corporatism and state capitalism is reminiscent of George Orwell's 1949 novel Nineteen Eighty-Four and has been called Kafkaesque and absurdist”
When I saw Brazil in 1986 it help me resist being programmed into a Marxist while I was getting my BA in anthropology. For those who don't know it the science of anthropology is just Marxist theory with a little bit of evolutionary theory plus a sprinkling of archaeological dirt on top. The takeover of anthropology colleges/departments was one of the first beachheads of the leftist takeover of American education.
Check out the computers from the Ministry of Information - hilarious!:
