O Último Cine Drive-in (2015)
Could be good, but it's not.
Could be a intersting movie but with insufficient purpose. The love for cinema could have been explored much better, the moive only shows the nostalgia for the time when things "worked out" and the "love" for cinema are only a few posters out there. The characters are not well explored and the plot ends up getting a little tiring, but it explores the troubled father and son relationship well (without dialogues, only the silence represents it)
There is no development of the characters, but I believe they did it on purpose, the empty spaces and the filming are very well done and the movie has a few cool scenes, however not a memorable movie...
Pelé (2021)
Pelé- at the World Cup
The title should be Pelé at the world cup. The doc not even try to go deeper to show who really is Pelé, or even try to tell us something different about him. Maybe it is okay, but it would be a lot better to know a little bit about Edson Arantes.
It could explore more about his carrier on brazilians teams and also how he started so young (17 he was playing the world cup), and what he did after soccer.
The idea of showing the dictatorship in Brazil was not bad, also how politcs influences even in soccer and it was a tough momment.
He is supposed to be the GOAT, however the doc do not show us this. There is no interview from others selecitons os players talking about how difficult is to play against him, or even how he was above the other players.
After watching it, i just feel that he was a really good player that won a lot of worldcups and that's it. Nothing more.
Capitani (2019)
Ok crime thriller but too long
This series should have a maximum of 10 epsodes, if not less.
The script is reasonable but has many points that do not fit. The fact that the characters make it so difficult to contribute to the investigation makes the beginning of the series very tiring. However, with the passing of epsodes, you are more interested and intrigued to unravel everything that is happening.
The performances of the secondary characters are not so good, but it does not get in the way.
The series is not that bad as people are saying, but it's far from phenomenal, it's a good thriller to watch.
Cidade Invisível (2021)
Brazilian Folclore through Brazilian eyes
It's incredibly satisfying to see the Brazilian Folclore represented on screens and on a global scale.
The series starts off amazingly and the pilot episode is sure to intrigue you to understand everything that's going on, and the motivation behind it may seem like a slight cliché but then it becomes understandable.
I believe that the development of the characters was quite lacking, even though there were only seven epsodes this could have been explored a little bit better. The performances are not exceptional but they are also not bad, and it is interesting because the series manages to bring many "characters" from folklore and in an adult way inserted in the current world.
it is a very interesting series of research with an unusual theme that I hope will surprise everyone, even with some script flaws. I believe that this series is not so memorable for those who do not know the culture, but it is worth .8/10
Ps: The nature and natural beauty that we have in Brazil could be shown even more.
For non-Brazilians: The police here do not have much structure, and most investigations are abandoned as is actually portrayed in the series.
Wolf Creek 2 (2013)
One more hunting and free bloody movie
What made the first movie good is not in this one:
In the first Wolf Creek we could see other characters during 30-50 minutes before we see "Mick", and when he appears we did not know what to expect (probably you could know if you ever heard about the real story).
What really works and is fun in my opinion is the tension about what is going to happen and not only the free bloodbath, and there is no tension here because everyone knows he is going chase and kill everyone he finds out.
If you do not have sympathy with protagonists you do not really care if he is going to die or not. It could be a lot easier if the movie at least tried to make you create sympathy with them.
Also i think it could be great if the movie could explore more about the outback places and everything, only showing us the outback could be a plus for the movie, even it is a desert it has an own beauty.
For me it is just one more hunting and free bloody movie when the "bad guy' play with his victims.
O Vendedor de Sonhos (2016)
Predictable and weak performances with cliche speeches.
This is one of the best selling books in Brazil, so i was expecting a good film, unfortunately it is not.
Actors with very weak performances and a very predictable script but with speeches that some may find interesting, however it's a big cliche talking about how our society is "empty" and how we are losing our values. Maybe with a better script and better actings it could worked a lot better.
Maybe it can work for people who don't have a lot of knowledge and worldview, however anyone who never read a good self-knowledge book, may find the movie incredible.
