What is the purpose of the film?
I like to believe that the director wanted to criticize the corruption here in Brazil and connect it with violence, but the only thing he got was to show brutal cases of violence(as if it were a normal and acceptable thing here), without any discussion, without a true analysis of the problem.
When the director wanted to show the corruption, he interviewed an attorney general, a federal police marshal - head of SUDAM investigation, an assistant attorney general and a civil lawyer, all of them linked to a famous case of corruption. So far, so good. But when it comes to violence the director did not interview any expert, instead he interviewed a Plastic Surgeon (who speaks a shitty English, and even so doesn't allow the interpreter to translate) who is more interested to show his work ('plastic surgeons are peoples(sic) that are very close to God') and how good he is; an rich idiot who has a Porsche, an helicopter, and thinks he is the victim of the system; a real victim and a thug. What????
''The director admitted that he asked the kids to do the theater''...this doc is getting better and better.¬¬
It seems that the filmmaker had an idea, read a few things about it and started the film. It is dangerous because the problem is a lot more complex than he tried to put, and it can create a prejudgement against an entire nation.
