Review of Um Filme Falado

This movie is probably one of the worst that I ever got to see. First of all the dialogs are badly written and badly acted. Most of them are probably copied line by line from guide- books and from popularized history books, but delivered with the air that some deep philosophical message should be behind it. When the case isn't for advertising some touristic locations, the dialog becomes an inconsistent and ostentatious babbling in four languages also designed as some sort of deep meditation but due to the bad quality of acting and directing it becomes only pretentious and pitiful. The directing is in general extremely bad, for example one can always see that all the images from the ship are in fact made in a studio, and a very badly concealed one, not to mention all the blunders with outdoor shots, when one can see people on the street pausing and wandering what's going on, or the fact that he always shoots some cruise ships seen leaving harbors from afar, which are never the same ships, and at one point it is clearly visible that the ship is not even a passenger ship but a commercial one
