Roundabout on the edge of democracy, reciprocating on the edge of creation

"The Edge of Democracy" is certainly not neutral, it is almost a leftist biography. Although the director does not conceal it, or even make a big fanfare, as an audience, at least he must understand this point before deciding on his position. Of course, we actually don't have to force ourselves to have a stand, after all, what you can see is the animation of the clay figure that has been pinched several hands. If you want to see more truth in the true and false, how can you just read a book.

Don't get me wrong, I am not accusing this book, I am summarizing everything. It's not that I don't like this book, I like it very much. I think anyone who prides itself on the surface or in his bones, or who is adept or clear-minded, can like it. What do you think?

It's just that, through a work, what is created is explaining, expressing and transmitting, and what is on the other side of the screen is not seeking self-explanation and identification. When you look at it, in addition to seeing what it says, you can also think about what it has blocked. If you think about it, in addition to thinking about what you saw, you can also see what you have overlooked.

Even the most "just", "outrage", or "urgent" expressions should be subject to such scrutiny. Even though there are too many correct and timely "submissions to power" in history, I still feel that a truly solid and upward history should not be based on fragile and precarious events, but should be procedural justice that can withstand scrutiny. .

But I still gave four stars to the work itself, after all, it successfully fulfilled the original intention of the creation.

    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 middle-class families. Where is the future? I am afraid that we still have to start a foreign war to shift the contradiction. . . Peace is too extravagant.

    The film perfectly proves the reasons for the failure of Brazil's epidemic prevention and control today. The society is so fragmented, and contradictions are accumulating day by day; People think they are mature enough to go to the streets to party, but they are actually being treated like monkeys again and again by those who do party. Politicians can really have a right face when they say that they are both positive and negative. The old president's speeches in the spring and roses before he was imprisoned are really not a cover. Being able to put the camera on your face to follow a group of presidents and high-ranking government officials is indeed one of the few documentary creation experiences in the world, and the female director is a real wealthy family.

The Edge of Democracy quotes

  • Self - Ex-Presidente: It's no use trying to stop me from travelling around this country, because there are millions of Lulas, Boulos, Manuelas, and Dilma Rousseffs to do it for me. There's no use in trying to stop my ideas. They're already in the air, and you can't imprison them! There's no point in trying to stop my dreams, because when I stop dreaming, I'll be dreaming through your minds and dreams! There's no point in thinking everything's going to stop the day Lula has a heart attack. That's nonsense! Because my heart will be beating through yours, and there are millions of hearts! The powerful can kill one, two, or 100 roses. But they'll never stop the arrival of spring, and our fight is in search of spring!

  • 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.
