Post-COVID-19 Wuhan City: Your virtual tour destination
昔人已乘黃鶴去， 此地空餘黃鶴樓。
黃鶴一去不復返， 白雲千載空悠悠。
晴川歷歷漢陽樹， 芳草萋萋鸚鵡洲。
日暮鄉關何處是， 煙波江上使人愁。

Plot of "Brazil (1985 film)"; "In a dystopian, hyper-bureaucratic future, Sam Lowry is a low-level government employee who frequently daydreams of himself as a winged warrior saving a damsel in distress. ....
"A fly gets jammed in a
printer and creates a typographical
error, resulting in the incarceration and accidental death during
interrogation of cobbler Archibald Buttle, instead of renegade air
conditioning specialist and suspected terrorist Archibald Tuttle. Sam
is assigned the task of rectifying the error. Visiting Buttle's widow,
Sam encounters their neighbour Jill Layton, and is astonished to
discover that she resembles the woman from his recurring dreams. Jill
has been trying to help Mrs Buttle establish what happened to her
husband, but her efforts have been obstructed by bureaucracy. Unknown
to her, she is now considered a terrorist accomplice of Tuttle for
attempting to report the mistake of Buttle's arrest. Sam approaches
Jill, but she avoids giving him full details, worried the government
will track her down.
Sam reports a fault in his apartment's air conditioning. Central
Services are uncooperative, but then Tuttle, who used to work for
Central Services but left because of his dislike of the tedious and
repetitive paperwork, unexpectedly comes to his assistance. Tuttle
repairs Sam's air conditioning, but when two Central Services workers,
Spoor and Dowser, arrive, Sam has to fob them off to let Tuttle escape.
The workers later return to demolish Sam's ducts and seize his
apartment under pretence of fixing the system.
Sam discovers that the only way to learn about Jill is to be
transferred to Information Retrieval, where he will be able to access
her classified records. He has previously turned down a promotion
arranged by his mother, Ida, who is obsessed with the rejuvenating
plastic surgery of cosmetic surgeon Dr Jaffe. Sam retracts his refusal
by speaking with Deputy Minister Mr Helpmann at a party hosted by Ida.
Having obtained Jill's records, Sam tracks her down before she can be
arrested, then falsifies the records to indicate her death, allowing
her to escape pursuit. The two share a romantic night together, but are
apprehended by the government at gunpoint. Charged with treason for
abusing his new position, Sam is restrained in a chair in a large,
empty cylindrical room, to be tortured by his old friend, Jack Lint.
Sam is told that Jill was killed while resisting arrest.
As Jack is about to start the torture, Tuttle and other members of the
resistance break into the Ministry, shooting Jack, rescuing Sam, and
blowing up the Ministry building. Sam and Tuttle flee together, but
Tuttle disappears amid a mass of scraps of paperwork from the destroyed
building. Sam stumbles into the funeral of Ida's friend, who has died
following excessive cosmetic surgery. Sam discovers that his mother now
resembles Jill, and is too busy being fawned over by young men to care
about her son's plight. Guards disrupt the funeral, and Sam falls into
the open casket and through a black void. He lands in a street from his
daydreams, and tries to escape police and monsters by climbing a pile
of flex-ducts. Opening a door, he passes through it and is surprised to
find himself in a truck driven by Jill. The two leave the city
together. However, this "happy ending" is a delusion: in reality, he is
still strapped to the chair. It is implied that he has been lobotomised
by Jack.[18] Realising that Sam has descended into blissful insanity,
Jack and Mr Helpmann declare him a lost cause and leave the room. Sam
remains in the chair, smiling and humming "Aquarela do Brasil"."- Brazil
(1985 film), by wikipedia.
