      Tio Anco: Do you carry weapons, Clodoaldo?

      Clodoaldo: To be honest, I can't really say yes and I can't really say no. But I'll show you our best weapon, which is this: a cell-phone. Me and the boys have all the contacts we need.

      João: So, worst-case scenario, you throw the mobile at the bad guy, is that it?

      Clodoaldo: Mr. João, please...

      João: Then you run home and get the real thing. I'm just trying to understand.

      Clodoaldo: I get it, I get it.

    A great achievement!
    Being not only a Brazilian but a northeaster as well, I have to tell you that it is strange to see that so many people around the world actually enjoyed this film.

    I though to be very concerned to those who would understand the language, the situations and the causes of all of this. Well, seems that I was wrong and the themes exposed here are bound to be more universal than I expected.

    Every moment of Kleber Mendonças'Neighboring Sounds could be opened for discussion as subject of semiotics. The symbolism is so present and so meaningful that I was overwhelmed.

    A truly masterpiece, that have to be seen with very opened eyes.
