Elite standing in the crater

"Rio de Janeiro is a war city", a large number of slums are ruled by drug gangs,
peace comes from their "orders", and the presence of zf police seems to have no positive
effect . And such a social structure can achieve a balance: according to the rules, drug dealers cannot provoke the
police , especially BOPE; the police use their power to profit, but turn a blind eye to the gangs
; the upper class and the gangs also respect each other , become a raccoon dog.
But after all, there is a huge contradiction, and although the source of this contradiction is that income distribution is
too centralized, there is a superficial contradiction that is more likely to break out: the police and bandits are
very afraid of each other's force. And
sooner or later will emerge.
This strength comes from the two small policemen, and the reason may be that the police are under the greatest pressure of contradictions.
The first is the internal pressure of the police: the police rely on the system to act, and the system drives the police
crazy , and the system also protects corruption. The final result is that the small police officers are
oppressed by the superiors to the limit. Then there is the conflict between the police and society: both the upper and
the lower are extremely dissatisfied with the police, believing that they should not exist. So the golden forks live
embarrassingly amid these contradictions, and the things they do every day seem to have nothing to do with their so-called goals
: collecting protection fees, making money from trailers, transferring corpses, asking for bribes, illegally searching themselves,
evading responsibility, Bullying and selling guns... In this life, two little policemen just want to run away
. One of them goes to college and tries to change careers, and the other tries to learn the rules of the system to gain peace
. The problem is that they are too individual, and the conflict finally Overwhelmed their ability to bear, they
simply fired a shot at the crater, breaking the balance and finding a space that could accommodate themselves.
Attribution direction: BOPE.
The existence of BOPE seems to be a very contradictory matter. The ultimate solution to the rule of gangsters
can only be to find a solution in terms of social and economic distribution. For ZF, even if it is possible, it cannot be
expected. Therefore, in order to meet the immediate needs of public security , especially pope to visit this kind of emergency
, the team that tried to policing violently appeared. It is precisely because ZF has
great hopes for them that the establishment of this unit is completely detached from Brazilian society: the admission rate is 3-5%
, the training is more difficult than the Israeli army, and the main training subject is dealing with pressure and not
accepting corruption And weak, as long as there are members of character...
It looks very elite indeed, but their biggest dream is to disarm all the gangsters, and at the
same time police are secretly selling weapons, not to mention the underground arms trade, so
a gun is seized , the gang can get three more. Therefore, even this team knows that building a team that is
dedicated to the public may not be able to solve social problems, because the
root causes of the problems in the entire social structure cannot be alleviated through violence. Although one of the captains was brutally training the recruits'
psychological pressure capacity, he himself reached the psychological limit because of the birth of his son. I'm surprised he's
trying to pick a successor among the recruits, not among the many veterans.
Whether the existence of BOPE is a contradiction, or the film itself has problems of thinking, but
the most important thing is: Brazil has these film directors to expose these problems with blood. My impression of Brazilian
films is very good in this regard, as is the case at Central Station and the City of God. Brazilian
filmmakers are truly facing up to and paying attention to social issues and showing concern for human nature,
unlike directors and screenwriters in a certain country. They can only sing praises...
