Brazil (1985)
Question: Why is this film called Brazil?
Answer: The song "Brazil" represents a utopian world far off in another part of the world. Characters living in this dystopian world will sing "Brazil" as a form of escapism.
Chosen answer: Because of the reoccurring use of the song "Aquarela do Brasil" by Ary Barroso. The song's common English title is "Brazil". And at the end, when Sam is sitting in the chair, he starts to sing "Brazil".

Chosen answer: Michael Douglas was not playing the piano himself. Special effects were used to digitally graft Douglas' head onto the body of Philip Fortenberry, a Julliard-trained pianist who also once played at the now-closed Liberace Museum in Las Vegas.
