I'd like to know what you meant by "grew up" on Brazil, though.
How young were you when you first saw it? And what does that have to do with anything but trying to seem more sophisticated? Furthermore, what does being more sophisticated have to do with the Brothers Grimm, if that's what you're implying?

As far as Willis' acting is concerned; how is it any less believable than John Pryce's acting in Brazil? Acting isn't there for you to believe the actor. It's there for you to believe the story.

Honestly, I'm not sure exactly your motivations with your odd, probing questions. When I say "grew up on", I was following your comment on that for Time Bandits. I was a kid, a young teenager (16) when I first saw Brazil and became obsessed with it for various reasons and none of which has to do with your implication of seeming more sophisticated. Simply put: I love the film and everything about it, always have, always will. Yes, I was older than 8 or so, but certainly still growing and evolving as humans do. I simply connected to Brazil and watched it quite often on my VHS tape "growing up".

I'm totally unclear as to your question about Brothers Grimm. I wasn't implying anything other than I probably enjoy it more than 12 Monkeys.

Acting is indeed there for you to believe the actor. If you don't believe the actor, how in the world will you believe the story and every dialogue that is spoken by the actor to move the storyline? I suppose that's somewhat of a rhetorical question.
