George Orwell's novel "1984" and the two movies based on the book addressed the nature of totalitarian government but failed to adequately treat the bureaucracy that is very often an integral part of such regimes. The movie "Brazil" satirizes the aspects of out-of-control bureaucracy in a highly oppressive environment.
