The movie is an contemporary replay of Minas Gerais's rebellious movement of the XVIII century. University students of the 'Escola de Minas' rebel against the hard discipline of the rector. The movie has an interesting scene showing a mock burial of the offending rector, as the way the students express their anger. Actual students performed as actors. Ouro Preto, the Brazilian historical baroque town, is wonderfully pictured.

Minas Conspiracy - Brazil
jazerbini23 August 2014
Brazilian cinema in the 1950s became famous by the movie "The Bandit", Lima Barreto, but produced several other popular films, although the films of the time were much more in line with the comedy - cheap fun no plot and no greater commitment. This film "Rebellion in Vila Rica" is almost an exception. It is a completely unknown Brazilian film, including Brazil, perhaps because there are already more than 55 years of its completion. Only know who lived at the time it was released in theaters and those who study the seventh art. Very well prepared, surprised by the competence of actors at a time that Brazilian cinema was not yet consolidated. Draws a parallel with the "Minas Conspiracy" movement, occurred in the late eighteenth century, Minas Gerais, in Brazil, when he tried to free the country from the Portuguese crown, inspired by the ideals of the French Revolution
