BRAZIL is an excellent movie - if you haven't seen it, stop reading
this note, and make plans to see it tonight.

The question I have : Is Jill alive or dead? When the stormtroopers
place the bag over Sam's head, the screen is black for a second or
two, and we hear her scream, followed by a burst of machine gun fire.
The first time I saw this, I thought the blackout was the result of
the projectionist.  The second time, since it happened again, I thought
this must have been one of the parts edited out of the movie to make
it less depressing for the American release.  I remember reading that
Terry Gilliam had argued with the American distributers about
the editing, so they comprimised.

Is she alive or dead?
