Several examples mention that the government sentences people to death, but from what I got out of the movie, every death is in fact accidental. Buttle only died under interrogation because he had a heart condition that wasn't accounted for because he was presumed to be Tuttle. Jill died because of a sloppy arrest. Lowry was never even convicted of his crimes and there's no reason to believe he was ever set to be executed.
To actually, deliberately sentence someone to death in the world of Brazil would probably take hundreds of forms across a dozen departments and the waiting time would likely be years.
Is there any evidence to the contrary?
Would Brazil be Nineteen Eighty-Four with added Mind Screw?

Could the Bowlderization almost count as a Macekre, but without the translation-into-another-language part?

has this film's title been changed since it was first recorded? In the 1990's, I saw this film and the title was "Brasil" with an S instead of a Z, at least on the opening credits. It was an English edition (living in the country of origin and all.)
If so, Brasil may need to be added as a redirect.

The Suspiciously Specific Denial. Is it a recording or isn't it? Opinion seems to be divided on this page, seeming too much like Conversation In The Main Page. Need to watch the film again and find out (stupidly, though, I chucked my copy out), as I am tempted to clean up the example and move it to YMMV but can't be too sure.

Take that mentions the Executive Meddling that took place and refers the reader to that entry. The entry for Executive Meddling mentions nothing except that it explained in a book, with no link to any information about said book. If we're going to refer people to an entry on a film/show/etc's page, shouldn't we make sure that that entry at least has a bit of meaningful information as to why they were referred there?

I think that is what happens when the information is posted on a work's page rather than on the Trope page.
Is the ending REALLY a Bittersweet Ending? I feel like the argument made for it not being a complete Downer Ending is pretty unconvincing. It also assumes that nothing actually changes after the end of the film which, given the events of the film, is unlikely - what will happen to Sam after it's all over is likely nothing hopeful.
