I was just 10 years old when i saw all this happening on television. I was watching a movie and suddenly, it was interrupted. I couldn't understand very well what was going on but when I realized all TV channels stopped their programming to show this I just didn't know what to think.
I have watched the movie 2 days ago. Because I can remember the occurred so vividly in my mind, even I being very young at the time, I cried at the end.
As I said I didn't know what to think at the time but now I feel sorry for Sandro, for everything that he had passed through and that culminated in the hijack.
The movie is very realistic at some points, like when Sandro is inside the bus: for it was like all was happening again, I was watching saying "Now he'll do this, she'll do that", so well I could remember; but it fails in another points.
There are many historic mistakes: The "Candelária slaughter" occurred in 1993, not in 2000; Sandro didn't see his mother when she is already dead: he saw her being decapitated when he was 6; and he never was mistaken by another boy because the other boy, Alessandro, didn't exist (ok, this was something created by the writer to become the story more dramatic, but it wasn't necessary since Sandro's story is dramatic for itself).
I liked the movie but for those who doesn't know the whole story, since the beginning, it may be difficult to understand why some things happened.
