The 20200328 film outlines the dilemma of South America and the world as a whole—the rise of the right wing as a whole, and how a once-democratic political force that opposed monopoly and represented the people inevitably fell victim to gold-dollar politics. The author does not shy away from his own position. His parents, grandfather of the construction giant, and his family are also the epitome of Brazilian history. The first overhead shot of the Brasilia Congress was amazing, and Rousseff's...

From my own standpoint, it perfectly tells a political movement and two Brazilian presidents, but I still think that a film with a subjective attitude is not called a documentary, and in a sense, it has become an inflammatory media. The two Dawn Palaces The sweeping auntie looks really...

In any case, qualitatively speaking, it is more like a documentary than "Hospital in a Cave". Post-democratic Brazil has become more chaotic, corrupt, and sectarian. Even the online reviews of the film are polarized, like Rotten Tomatoes, and even more exaggerated on Metacritic. Of the 169 fan reviews, 87 are positive and 74 are negative, either 10 or 0. There is everything to say, and it seems that there is more truth than the film....

Want to learn more about Brazil's recent history? Honestly watching Wikipedia as a documentary, this film is not a pass. The precision is too low, and it is filled with a large number of screenshots that are not related to the theme. The author's tendency is too obvious, and the neutrality is too poor to deify while vilifying. The content is blank, and the content is constantly filled with visual and auditory impact on the screen, and the evaluation and reflection content is almost zero. I...

[Brazil] The anxious and deliberately whispered narration amplifies the anxiety and danger. Coupled with the personal experience of the parents, the position of the recorder has been set in advance; Don't focus on understanding the two presidents and how things have changed in Brazil. Outside the blue sky and green space, it is like a landmine laid early, which can cause tragic injuries just by detonating. Compared with areas caught in war or natural tragedies, such dangers are more complex and...

Overall, I feel I am watching very filthy things... This doc is all about access. Because the director of access can shoot these materials, but the arrangement of the materials is more confusing; and there are too many received ideas here, the film has become Conduit of some great ideological power... the author's own power is weak. Maybe the era of great minds making great documentaries is really...

It took a few days to watch it... such a dry political documentary is so boring. After reading lb's tag, I mentioned watching a female director's feature film in a week. By the end of the year, I also watched 84 different female directors. I think this seemingly simple challenge is rather difficult if you don't look for it subconsciously. Hope 2020 continues...

Brazil-"democratic" experiment without revolution
In fact, I finished watching this documentary in August, and I feel a lot of feelings, but I don’t know where to start. I can’t catch the thoughts one by one in my mind, and I can’t even watch other films. I have to sort it out quickly so as not to forget it.
The first thing that needs to be...

Pursuing democracy is not about the same party
Democracy is not a labor party, nor is it a social democratic party. The film’s default position is too strong, combined with the quotations and just the right emotions, which made me lost in the massive amount of information for a while. After a period of precipitation, I began to seriously doubt...

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.
