Terry Gilliam wrote the original screenplay, although he got Tom Stoppard
and Charles McKeown to help him with large portions.

Sorry about correcting you, it's just that film is one of my favourite 
subjects and _Brazil_ is one of my favourite films.  I mean, after all,
you could be somewhat correct in your statement as Terry Gilliam hadn't
finished the screenplay when he asked for Tom Stoppard's help.

But anyway, enough vacillation for one day.  I leave.
