    • Trivia
      Bingo is a film 'à clef', where real life characters and brands have names changed to avoid legal issues: Bingo is the American clown franchise Bozo, TV Mundial stands for the powerful Brazilian network Globo, TVP is its rival TVS (now SBT), Lulu is the children show host Xuxa. The real name of main character Augusto Mendes, Arlindo Barreto, is revealed at the end. Singer and dancer Gretchen is the only one that was kept with her real (stage) name.

    It would be an 9 before the end
    From the beginning to almost the end it's a great movie! I really enjoyed it, had some good laughs. Well, I relate a lot to Bozo, I was a fan as child, although I've never called him.

    But, the end of the movie is so anti climatic. The end is awful. When I realized it ended in that way I was really disappointed. I don't know what the producers/directors/writers wanted with this ending. "Drugs are bad"? "Jesus is good"? I don't know. It's just awful.

    Good movie. Awful ending.
