A few days ago I finally gave Terry Gilliams film Brazil [1985 IMDB] a shot. I’m still not sure I liked it or not, as expected it was a weird fairytale of a somewhat dystopian future/past – or ‘retro-future’ as stated at IMDB.
To be honest I gave up 15 minutes from the end, I just lost interest after almost two hours (UPDATE: I’ve now seen the movie several times and it’s one of my all-time faves). Still, there was one thing that I really liked about Brazil – the ring tone from Sam Lowry’s phone. I cut it out, edited it a bit and converted it to .mp3 and .ogg – here’s a preview:
If you download them, lemme now everything is alright – will ya?! Cheers.

Fred, my cell now rasps with dystopian urgency thanks to your Brazil ringtone posting. Makes me laugh every time.

LOVE IT!!! LOVE THE MOVIE!!!
P. S. I only used ALL CAPS to convey the false sense of urgency of DZ-015′s phone.

I’ve loved the film since it first came out and always wanted my phone to sound like Sam’s. Now it does! Thank you!

Thank you!! I thought about this exact movie sample for a ringtone long ago, but have never gotten around to ripping it. Sounds terrific, thanks for saving me the trouble!

There’s no button on my site, just normal text links labeled “.mp3” and “.ogg“. See those? Click the desired link and you’ll be taken to either box.net — or OpenDrive if you click on of the links from the “Alternative download location”. On box.net the download button is in the upper right part of the page and on OpenDrive in the center, almost in the middle of the page where it says “Download here: brazil_mp3.mp3″. I can’t be more specific than that. If all else fails I can email you the mp3 version.

Seriously? You didn’t watch the end of the movie? Because the end is actually really important. You have no idea.

Haha, I DID watch the end eventually. I’ve re-watched the whole thing at least once and it’s one of my all time faves!
