Sam Lowry: Brazil. Lowry is the disengaged employee of film. He spends his time daydreaming when everyone else is hard at work. He has flair, but rarely uses it. It’s going to be difficult to motivate Lowry – he just doesn’t care about the job. When he does decide to work, he succeeds without any effort, making everyone else’s toil look pathetic.
Don’t think about moving him on, he doesn’t want to go until he’s ready. Lowry is the archetype of a directionless dreamer. Don’t lean on him though – he has friends in high places.
