    The decline of the Brazilian Labor Party is worth thinking about. The chaos in a country like Brazil is often simply an incomplete revolution. Or the three most simple and rude conclusions that I think are absolutely true: 1. Those developing countries that have not thoroughly engaged in agrarian revolution will never have a chance to turn over. Once the tide and bubbles return, they are swimming naked; 2. The barrel of a gun will come out of power; 3. Any independent developing country must...

    3. It's like watching the case study class of "The Crowd". To a certain extent, the group of people can never break through its own limitations, and the so-called democracy is just a sleep aid for self-soothing. The elite and the bottom played with each other and hurt each other, and finally the dominance became paler and weaker in the repeated useless...

    As a part of the magical land of South America, the political chaos in Brazil has both its historical institutional reasons and a microcosm of the global economic slowdown and the rapid rightward turn of politics, which is already a relatively reliable country in South America. The film itself is not very clear, but it is just standing in Brazil itself and talking about Brazil, it is not able to analyze the causes of various aspects from a higher perspective, nor does it refine the central...

    The so-called democracy in their mouths is to make the struggle look more just for the sake of their seizing power. How can there be true democracy in the face of...

    Through the sentence of the cleaning lady of the presidential residence: "No one is clean", not much analysis has been completed, and most of the rest are voice-over images. These first-hand exclusive images are really worth showing, and it is estimated that the director's wealthy background has helped a lot. However, the political drama in Brazil since 2013 can be explained in two hours, and due to the historical tradition of Latin America, the road to democracy is arduous, and the meaning of...

    Democracy without justice makes one impeachment one election a witness. Powerful individuals and groups can abandon their own words for power, turning what was once a mantra and democracy into a pile of politically manipulated shit. Democracy is not omnipotent, and people who have lost their sense of reason and civilization have not yet realized that they are falling into a boundless...

    Brazil's visa-free thing has not been written again? Democracy in Brazil from the perspective of the lyrical "royalist (it's a leftist)". The people are always easily instigated and fall into a false illusion that "they can be the masters of the country", but they don't know that everything is just a game between interest groups and politicians. The difference is that the political system is different, the operation method is different, that's all, this is also one of the cruel truths of this...

    I have said many times that my friends have been refusing to watch this movie with me. After watching it, I discussed with him why. He said that many Brazilians were disgusted with this documentary, because the film made Brazilians seem like idiots. The Social Democratic Workers Party PT collapsed because their affairs were rotten, they distributed welfare to the bottom and the top was seriously corrupt, the censorship system was strict (whatsapp was banned at the time), and the economic...

The Edge of Democracy quotes

  • Petra Costa: The fact that there is no evidence that he's the owner of the apartment is considered proof of his attempt to hide it, and this proof is used as evidence that he's the mastermind of the scheme.

  • Petra Costa: The fact is that, during the years that my parents were in hiding, when their friends were being tortured and killed, were the years that the construction company my grandfather co-founded... most grew. I see that the story of this crisis, of this wall, runs directly through my family. On one side it's the story of the establishment that my grandparents were part of. On the other, it's the story of my parents and the left they dreamt of, and which is crumbling. But it's also the story of a broken country that we're inheriting.
