My own view is that works of art, and Brazil and Once Upon a Time in America are works of art, take on a life of their own as they are created, and as they are experienced.
Indeed, the notion that a director shoots a script and the finished film is simply a technicolour imprint of the words in the script, represented in sound and vision by actors, is obviously junk.
Once Upon a Time in America is a Leonian epic journey through the American Dream, an investigation of the nature of Power, with Jewish gangsters as protagonists.
As Anthony suggests, Brazil is in part an exploration of false flag terrorism through a surrealist prism.
Sometimes, profit and doing the laundry can be prime motivations.
