    Some people say that art should be divorced from politics. However, it was difficult for the two to part ways. Sometimes art can affect politics, and more often, politics affects art; sometimes, politics becomes the content of art display, and sometimes art becomes the propaganda tool of politics; ...; sometimes, in the relative film (documentary) Telling stories and narrating the ins and outs of events from the ground up, people will say that the creator has no point of view, superficial, and...

    Oscar nominated documentary. Although a lot of valuable video material was shot, the director's narration and perspective are somewhat subjective, so it is difficult to get a full picture from a more comprehensive perspective. Water can carry a boat and capsize it. In the political world, there is never right or wrong. Democracy, for both the enemy and the enemy, has equal opportunities and checks each other. The self-righteousness is sometimes fragile in the face of the trance of public...

    It did! After two hours without reading news and gossip on my mobile phone, I watched the Brazilian documentary "The Edge of Democracy". It's not that the film catches more people, or that he cares about Brazilian politics, but that he has restrained his curiosity about the current epidemic. Of course, this political documentary with a lot of personal material has seen the author's position as the most neutral in recent years. Although the girl guides of the left-wing celebrity families...

    "Democracy" has become a slogan for a politician's performance. The director still chose a position. What the cleaning women said is indeed the essence, but this experience has been formed through the participation of the public for so many years. Only through experience can you recognize it Well, at least they have a...

    There is no such thing as "democracy". In the final analysis, it is "money". People who talk about it only care about how to use it for profit....

    The magical change of the Brazilian regime: being crushed by the right, instigated by the strong left, retorted by the left, and then surrendered by the right. I strengthened my previous thinking: only people who have experienced the baptism of democracy can have eyes to see the illusion of democracy. Politics is a perpetual balance. The hostile side of dictatorship and non-democracy is its protective net. The earth is round, and walking forward may be the origin, but always stopping at the...

    [Netflix] Brazilian political documentary. In just three years from 2016 to 2019, Brazil has experienced successive political chaos in which the current president was impeached, the former president was arrested and imprisoned, the acting president was arrested after he stepped down, the new president supported military dictatorship, and the former president was released. Democracy has been trampled on, the legal system has been ignored, and public opinion has been torn apart. The reason for...

    Regardless of the system, if the ultimate goal is not to let the people live a good life, then it is a bad system. Countries under democratic politics are now seeing a growing gap between the rich and the poor. 1% of the people have 40 times the wealth of the remaining 99%, and political power is now completely powerless and can only do so. Blindly profiting the consortium, take the United States as an example. In 18 years, the tax rate for the rich has been lower than the tax rate for...

    Luis Inácio Lula da Silva's final speech before his imprisonment

    ''We have tricky work to do, listen to me. Order to arrest me. I will obey their orders. I did this because I wanted to shift responsibility. They felt that all the problems in this country were caused by me. If I do not believe in justice, I will not form a political party, but will initiate a...

    Dependent Brazil, the fringe of democracy

    "The Edge of Democracy" is a very valuable documentary. Although it does not deviate from the director's left-leaning ideological prejudice, the rebirth, development and crisis of Brazilian democracy are still worthy of current reflection, and it also has the value of further academic...

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.
