Central do Brasil (1998)
heartfelt without being watered down

An excellent movie, especially considering the story line of the movie... not original in the least but the path they chose for this movie was perfect. Character depth and story progression were well balanced. A very well made film... I recommend this movie to anyone with time to see it. Many films featuring a child in distress fall into a pit of sappy mush and the end result is a movie whose characters are one-dimensional and flat and a story that fails to truly progress. "Central do Brasil" is everything but. Vinicius, the boy who plays Josue, is a natural talent and is completely believable because he basically lived the part. All the actors are extremely talented and Brazilian backdrop is beautiful. It really is a wonderful movie!
