Maranhão 66 (1966)
Time made it eternal
31 July 2013
In 1966, this was a great short movie, by a superb director, showing the differences between a politician's speech and people's reality.
But today, after almost 50 years, and knowing who that young politician José Sarney became, this not only a great short movie, but the best lesson on politics, history and art you can get.
Sarney's speech became a fine piece of irony, considering his career in politics, and how he practiced everything but what he was preaching. Also, Maranhão's issues that are portrayed in the movie are still prevailing nowadays. In only 10 minutes, Glauber Rocha was able to create a perfect work that makes everybody rethink about the meaning of politics and power.
