Thanks for watching. Portuguese subtitles have now been added.
My recommendation is Carandiru, a brazilian movie based on a massacre on a prison with that name. It is a good movie.
I recomend central Brasil, almost got an Oscar!!!
Hey man. I have recomendation for you. (O AUTO DA COMPADECIDA)
From same director: O som ao redor and Aquarius. Both very good!
Really cool
This guy has a whole nation as a friend already 😂💝🇧🇷
True!
Now we can say, he is invited to the cookout 😄
PRA CARAIO!!!!
Man, that was such a great reaction. I always thought Bacurau's symbolism and references were too brazilian for foreigners to understand, but your perspective really broadened my understanding of this film. Something interesting to point out from the pictures in the museum is that the people from Bacurau were descendants of Cangaceiros, which were nomad bandits from the 19th century in the Sertão, the dry regions in the northeast of Brazil, where the movie is set.
specially the Cangaço roots from Bacurau and the Museum
20th century mostly
Did you notice how the first shots from this community started from inside the school? And their weapons were inside the museum, their history and education was used to save them from external dominance.
Ya!
that's why i think the hallucinogen they take is knowledge. they always have the pill before a relevant moment, meaning they act once they know what's going on behind their backs
meudeus simmm
Caralhoooo mano!! Eu tô arrepiado, pq eu vi esse filme umas 3 vezes e eu não associei eles pegando as armas nos lugares que traziam referências de história e educação. Q foda
Explaining a little of the cultural background. The interior of northeastern Brazil had a period equal to that of the North American western. We call this cangaço period. Lawless land, outlaws living in a nomadic way. These outlaws are called cangaceiros. The most famous being Lampião and his wife Maria Bonita, leaders of a gang of cangaceiros. The film presents a city of good and simple people, but when the interior of the museum is shown, it is possible to see in the newspapers that the inhabitants of the city are descended from the cangaceiros who lived in the region.
it is Lampião's posse real heads depicted in that museum portrait. they have their heads cut off and shown on the newspapers by the time.
a nice movie to get this historical context of the Cangaço is "Deus e o Diabo na terra do sol" by Glauber Rocha, some kind of founder of Cinema Novo movement and godfather of all brazilian film directors
exactly!
@@baseadonosamba yep!
Na verdade é o contrário. A cidade um dia lutou contra o cangaço e venceu. As cabeças na foto são uma referência ao que foi feito com o Lampião e o bando dele. Acredito inclusive que isso foi inspirado no que aconteceu em Mossoró, se não me engano, quando a cidade inteira armou uma tocaia bastante parecida com do filme e expulsou os cangaceiros da cidade
@@tiagomurta5685 a história deixa bem claro que o inimigo nao eram os cangaceiros. Até porque os herois do filme são meio que cangaceiros modernos . o inimigo é o sistema dito bom e digno que trata a população nordestina como lixo e quando recebe de volta não aguenta a pressão
When I watched this movie at the cinema, the scene Damiano (the naked guy and his wife) EXPLODED that dude's head, the cinema just went nuts and literally applauded (including me)
I cried at the theater watching Bacurau. First because of the depth and layers that this film has. It hits so hard in many ways. Second because for the first time in my life I was seeing people applauding, cheering and excited with a national movie. Our cinema it's so underrated by ourselves and this movie brings us a proud feeling and teach a lot about imperialism and colonialism.
A invasão inglesa na China se deu por causa de chineses com complexo de vira-lata fã da culrura européia que abriram as porteiras pros ingleses tratarem os chineses como quisessem. Bacurau me fez me lembrar da Revolução dos Boxers na China
“Suffering is a commodity” is such a relevant sentence, especially considering the movies you’ve been reviewing. You can definitely apply that to most of them
One of my favorite movies of all time. The theme of the colonizer coming to take every single treasure that a land can offer, and when that runs out, to take the last resource a region has: its people. This parallel works for every bit of human history involving colonization.
About the song, is the most famous song abroad of our great Capoera, a Brazilian Martial Art created by slaves to defend theirselves. Not everyone practice but (I did for many years) it is a very strong cultural thing for us. And "Paraná" is a brazilian state locate in the south region, but the real meaning is based on our native indigenous language, Tupi, and Paraná means "A river like the ocean" (Big rivers) and "Auê" is a kind of salut. So the meaning of paranauê is, "The rivers like the ocean, we salut you". Not everyone knows this, so it is not your fault.
Eu mesmo nunca soube ou que significa
Sou descendente indígena e fiquei pensando em uma forma de explicar. MT obg
nossa que legal eu não sabia disso. eu fiz um pouco de capoeira quando era muito pequena ma creche.
Além do nome do estado, "Paraná" também é nome do próprio rio, Rio Paraná. Que é um dos maiores do Brasil, onde vários outros rios brasileiros desaguam nele, como o Paranaíba, Tietê, Paranapanema, etc...É gigante mesmo, como o oceano haha
@@thiagoseixas8207 Eu particularmente acho triste não aprendermos o Tupi como nossa segunda língua nas escolas. Por séculos o Tupi foi o idioma oficial mesmo após a chegada dos portugueses, durante o período Brasil colônia, e só deixou de ser usada em 1758, por um cara adorado em Lisboa mas que só fez besteira no Brasil que é o Marques do Pombal que era o mandachuva em Portugal na época depois do Rei. Assim aos poucos e ao longo do tempo nosso país foi de fato se afastando da origens e hoje em dia até as reprime ou nega.
eu sou um cara simples
se eu vejo um gringo reagindo a qualquer coisa brasileira eu venho ver e deixar o meu like
???
Esse filme não e' qualquer coisa. Melhor cuidar da carência .
Na moral, o seu comentário prova que o cara entendeu o filme melhor que muito brasileiro. Sem ofensa.
@@cesarmodesto Pior que é verdade, muito brasileiro diz que esse filme é horrível, mais quando você presta atenção e entendi a mensagem vira um filme foda pra caralho.
the head photographs are "cangaceiros" in the museum. In the Northeast region of Brazil, they are seen as a symbol of resistance to authoritarianism by local authorities. But unfortunately, the last of them was killed by the police in the 20th century and had their heads cut off for everyone to see. Lunga is like a modern representation of cangaceiros.
Vocês americanos tem os seus caubóis nós tínhamos os Cangaceiros
The film had a good feedback over here in Brazil, most because it wasn't a blockbuster so people who went to watch it already had a glimpse of what to expect.
Great video dude, you got pretty much all the allegories portrayed in the film, keep doing what you do. Much love.
Don't know if you caught it, but the reason they "camouflaged" the drone to look like an UFO because they thought the people would say "IT'S THE ALIENS", but instead they instantly recognized it as a drone, just showing how those outside these poor communities are so judgmental about the knowledge and intelligence of the marginalized
Yup which turned out was their downfall. They're peaceful not stupid. The colonizing hunters got exactly what they deserved.
Cara, eu realmente não tinha entendido o lance do disco voador. Achei que era a única coisa caída do filme, mudei de ideia! Vlw!
Na vida real iam achar que é disco voador. Esse pessoal de interior é a pior coisa que existe em praticamente todos os aspectos
@@zakazany1945 Na vida real não existe drone ultra mega silencioso em formato de Ovni e nem espírito, então o filme tem sua licença kjk
@@zannchristo Meu ponto continua o mesmo. Só quem já tentou lidar com esse tipo de gente sabe o tamanho da ignorância e os absurdos que essas criaturas defendem e acreditam e se recusam a toda maneira sequer questionar o que foram ensinados.
Dude, I'm speechless by how much you understood this film as a foreigner. The fact that you even reacted to this is already awesome but your review was INCREDIBLE. Immediate subscription, thank you for this!
As a Brazilian from the South, I see a lot of people around here with the same talk about being "different" from the rest of Brazil because they have European roots and all that crap. The movie was made by a Northeastern (the region portrayed in the film) filmmaker but he got that Southern "white" pride very well, and it's just so much crap. There's even a movement here to separate the South as an independent country, which is laughable. It doesn't have much support, thankfully.
Nossa. Em todos os meus no Brasil, nunca vi esse preconceito. E concordo, é nojento e uma vergonha.
Ah, agora me lembrei de uma coisa parecida. O meu pai falava que alguns Santa Catarinenses se chamam de "Alemães", apesar de nunca tenham ido a Europa.
@@vicenzostella1390 Se você passar um tempo no Sul, vai ouvir bastante. Principalmente em áreas da serra que foram colonizadas por italianos e alemães.
@@Douglasdragon263 Eu sou de Curitiba com familia em Blumenau e no interior the Santa Catarina. Eles tem orgulho da cultura de onde vieram, mas nunca para esse estremo. Eu só estou grato que a minha familia nunca pensou desse jeito.
I giggled so much at the table scene, and watching it in a movie theather in a state in the south of Brazil, seeing people there were not laughing made me laugh even harder.
E eles comentaram o que depois?
Vai longe esse canal. Dá foco na arte brasileira de uma forma sincera. E os PT-Br não dão trégua! Vamos fazer o cara crescer!
Vamos dar like para o cara pessoal, ele está prestigiando a nossa cultura e divulgando ela ao mundo.
consegui usar esse filme na redação do ENEM no mesmo ano em que ele foi lançado, e tirei uma boa nota. Fernanda Pessoa, vulgo melhor professora de redação do Brasil, levou todos os seus alunos para assistir Bacurau no Cinema São Luiz, (que por sinal tbm falei na redação), um dos últimos cinemas de rua do Brasil, onde a meia entrada é $5. sou de Pernambuco, mas nunca tinha visitado esse lugar histórico, foi mágico! ao final do filme ainda teve um debate com o diretor do filme, o gênio pernambucano Kléber Mnedonça Filho e alguns atores.
Kleber Mendonça Filho lançou "Retratos Fantasmas".
O auto da compadecida, is a very different type of movie, is a comedy one
O Auto da Compadecidaaa!!! ♥️😍♥️
But idk, I don't really think he would fully understand this movie, and the Eng subt would be a bit bad... 🙁
Kinda "truth comedy". Because it's funny but it is also deep.
👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
but it also carries a lot of critics
Came here because Bacurau's director shared your video on Twitter. If you keep digging, you're gonna find layers and layers on this film, man. There's a lot of references and details that matter a lot. It's funny. You a good piece of it, especially in the mood inhibitor take. That has a special message for us Brazilians. It's that a lot of us like to take it in the ass, because of the fact that despite all that happens with the people and the suffering, some of us keep thinking, acting and voting the same way. As Domingas advised: it's bad, but it's an option. Also, the places of resistance during the foreign invasion are the school (education) and the museum (memory). Bacurau is a masterpiece. Cheers from Brazil, keep watching our films. 🇧🇷
Esse filme é um lixo que mais fomenta o ódio que qualquer outra coisa.
Man, you gotta watch Carandiru. It's about the biggest massacre in a Brazilian prison in history. Even the most famous rap group in Brazil "Racionais Mc's" have song about it called "Diário de um detento" that describe what was like to be in that place.
Congrats for the channel and the great analysis!
ua-cam.com/video/g9JEp2Cs2cE/v-deo.html
The names they speak in that scene with the coffins are real people that were killed because of police violence, hate crimes or even political dispute.
Man, as a Brazilian I'd love to talk about this movie. So much of it is rooted to the history of Brazilian's northeast. The museum is much more than just a place- it's a warning
... Yes, that WAS Theo's teacher from the Cosby Show.
I'm Brazilian, and I never knew Sonia Braga was in the Cosby Show until now XD
two fun facts about this movie:
When the americans enter a house, the headline on the news showing on the TV was: "public executions start on Anhangabaú (a place in midtown são paulo)"
A lot of the names they say at the end of the movie are names of real brazilian politicians and civilian people who died.
Man, you should watch "Central do Brasil", the closest attempt to Oscar we had before City of God. It's a damn good movie! Congrats for your channel!
Yeeees! Please!
This is my favorite analysis of this film now, I like how you quickly get all the ideas and have interesting insights, even the part where the southern couple mistakenly consider themselves equal to the Americans. I thought you'd think this bit wasn't that big of a deal but it caused quite the stir here in Brazil at the time (in social media at least), because it exposed the underhanded prejudice common in the southern regions. The thing is: in this country the North is poorer, more violent and less industrialized than the South, also most of the population are black, brown or native. The south tends to be the other way around, there's a belief there that they are more successful due the region's European ancestry, and they are quite proud of it, that breeds a lot of chauvinism and covert racism. They don't see themselves as colonized people but have the delusion they belong somehow to Europe, this affirmation is, of course, not a rule but a tendency.
You also mentioned commoditization of suffering and the way the US elites portrays the rest of the world to the American population, that's an interesting point of view I never heard before, it makes sense and there's a lot to think about it, I guess people in power are similar everywhere huh? Always manipulating the perception of the common people... You also mentioned a thing called cotton gin? Never heard of it before and googled it superficially, I suppose it's an symbol of slavery and/or colonialism? I totally missed this in the movie so I keep and eye for it when I re-watch it.
Finally I'd like to recommend this fascinating short documentary, it's about a barbershop in a Rio favela, the people working there, their customers and their story, I try to show this to people in every opportunity I can ua-cam.com/video/MAcWzZDTGzI/v-deo.html
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
"They don't see themselves as colonized people but have the delusion they belong somehow to Europe, this affirmation is, of course, not a rule but a tendency."
Sounds like some of the Latinos and Hispanics here in America
Em todos os meus anos no Brasil, nunca vi esse preconceito no Sul contra o Norte. Ná minha opinião, esse tipo de pensamento que vc chama de comum é nojento e uma vergonha. Somos brasileiros, não importa nossa descendência, região ou estado.
Watch "Aquarius " on netflix, with Sonia Braga and same director!
Excelente filme, som ao redor também
Filme absolutamente poderoso ...suas metáforas irão prevalecer pra eternidade...suas críticas são absolutamente sensatas...o canal é fantástico.
Great analysis. As I'm getting to the part where you talk about the two brazilians who think they're like the colonizers, I remembered a term we use to mockingly address them. We call those people Tupinivikings. "Tupiniquim" is the name of one indigenous group in Brazil, but it's also a term to refers to Brazilians as a people for some reason. So the people who think they're better than others because of their german roots or whatever, we call them Tupinivikings, haha
Thank you for not only giving exposure to one of my favorite movies from not only my country, but my region as well! Your commentary is really thought out and deep, and you get the movie. Looking forward for more!
One thing i love about this movie is, they waponize history, literally, brazil has the 'habit' of neglecting our own history, and that leds to bad decisions, like electing a men with ties with the militia, who idolizes dictatorships, for president
exato
When I first watched Bacurau I thought only Brazilians would understand the depth of the reality portrayed in it... I am so so happy with this review and see how much he got it
This UA-cam Channel is beautiful. This almost made me cry. Thank you!
As críticas no Brasil sobre o filme podem, tranquilamente, serem dividas em:
Pessoas do Norte/Nordeste e seus descendentes que vivem fora das regiões se identificando com o povo de Bacurau e ficando muito satisfeitos com o filme vs. Galera do Sul que ficaram ofendidos por serem representados pelo casal "descendentes de europeus". hahahahahahaha
Suas análises sobre os filmes brasileiros são muito mais ricas que muitos sites e profissionais da área que fazem conteúdo aqui.
Parabéns, cara.
Our politicians would gladly sells us for a sandwich and a cup of juice if theres nothing more valuable to trade
Bacurau é um filme Cult, ganhou prêmios pelo mundo todo, em Cannes inclusive. Mas no Brasil não é um filme popular, não é um filme fácil... Infelizmente o cinema brasileiro não tem o reconhecimento por parte dos brasileiros, aqui no Brasil os filmes americanos, de Hollywood, fazem muito mais sucesso. Ótima reação e análise, Bacurau é um filme de resistência, fala sobre como os americanos veem o Brasil e como somos descartáveis para eles.
Mas Bacurau é ''cult' lá fora também. Ele foi ovacionado não só pela crítica especializada, mas também por toda a mídia nerd/indie/cult, vide as matérias da Vulture e da Indie Wire, que adoraram a crítica anti-imperialista cultural do filme, por retratar os "vilões" americanos de Bacurau da mesma forma que a indústria de hollywood tratam os vilões estrangeiros, por exemplo (pq eu sei que Bacurau é muito mais do que isso, mas é uma provocação deliciosa que o filme aborda). Na verdade, qualquer filme não falado em inglês é considerado assim, pq gringo tem muita preguiça de legenda, se me permite a generalização. No Brasil, também ganhou praticamente todos os prêmios do cinema na época que estava em circuito competitivo.
Tinha que ser conhecido como uma porcaria que serve pra fomentar o ódio, isso sim. Filmezinho que tenta ser muito mas é pouco.
@@zakazany1945 ?????? Gente a pessoa surtou

@@Douglasdragon263 ela respondeu altos comentários com várias barbaridades. Vi um ali em cima dizendo que "gentinha" do interior é burra. Espero que essa merda em forma de gente se esgaste com a lingua podre e inchada dela cheia de pus.
Há muito tempo eu procurava por um vídeo de algum gringo reagindo a Bacurau. Amei! 👏🏻👏🏻
Hey dude, the director did share your reaction on facebook. His name is Kleber Mendonça. thanks for reaction!! Congratulations!! Bacurau is the best film brazilian in to day. He so many details of culture the northeastern people. He is a masterpiece.
I watched this video just to see your reaction to 10:34. I was in the theater and the whole crowd was screaming with vengeance cheering!
The interest part is that you understood much more than a lot of Brazilians when we first watch the movie!
As he said, yes, I came here to see a "foreigner surprised with the movie", but this video helped me to pick up so many details I never noticed, and he's so cool (and the way he talks makes it easy to understand even without subtitles), it's impossible to not like his videos
👏 mesmo sem conhecer as histórias por trás dessa história sua crítica foi incrível.
I really like your job! This is more than just a reaction, it’s deeper than that. You make it seems like the movie reached its goal, as the screen writer and the director intended with their idea and overall concept.
Thank you for talking about the movie’s depth and “thickness”, other “reviewers” said the movie was too long from a market stand point, and has a weird pace to it, but maybe if it had some scenes cut off or if it was faster, it would make harder for the public to absorve all the points the movie intended to expose.
I've never seen an English reaction to this film! I'm also American, and I think you're the third other person I've seen who has even heard of this -- I love it. Bacarau is like a slice of life study of a community, political commentary, history lesson, Weird Western, siege movie, action drama... it even had an homage to Thunderdome in Tony Junior's exile, haha.
I loved hearing your thoughts, and definitely agree with your appreciation of the unique community and commentary on colonialism.
"Suffering is a commodity" -- damn!!
Incrível todas as interpretações e considerações feitas sobre o filme, o cara consegue entender a mensagem de maneira minuciosa...parabéns, tô encantada com seu canal 👏👏👏👏👏👏
Man, I like your reactions so much I'm about to start Kingdom to watch your series of videos.
I really like how open you are to productions made out of the USA and how intelligent you are when talking about them. I'm brazilian and I've been curious for some time to see how a non-brazilian audience would take Bacurau, your take was really cool - it showed me that the movie is way more universal than I had thought it was.
Keep it up!
I'm simply amazed at the accuracy and sensitivity of your review. This movie contains many references to the culture of our country and I thought it would not be understandable to the rest of the world. But your video proved that, despite this, its message touches universal themes and speaks more about human behavior than just local issues. I'm so glad you nailed it! So I'm a new fan!! Thanxs and congrats!!!!

Best movie reviews on UA-cam, and I'm not only saying that because I am Brazilian hahaha your in-depth analysis of the movie's motif, the language used, the cinematography, the correlation you give with different directors, it really makes me see those movies with an entirely new perspective, thank you!
Paranauê and Paraná. They are "tupi" words. Tupi is one of brazilians natives languages.
Parana means "similar to the sea". And "Auê" is a kind of salutation. That song is chanted in capoeira circles
Seus reviews são brilhantes, cara! Tem assistido direto e você traz pra superfície toda a poesia de obras que a gente admira por aqui, pela intuição e carga cultural, mas que não necessariamente traduzimos pra uma ordem intelectual. Simplesmente brilhante seu trabalho. Obrigado de coração. Greetings from Brazil, man!
To impressionada com a tua análise voce pegou MUITA coisa.. Mas o lance é que para nós inevitavelmnete dialoga de outra forma... porque conhecemos os cenarios e as todas as analogias com a realidade que o filme carrgea. Eu acho genail esse futuro passado.. E quando se viaja o Brasil é sempre essa sensação de muitos Brazis e muitos tempos coexistindo. Um geografico brasileiro, que alias vale a pena voce pesquisar tambem, o Milton Santos tem uma frase que se encaixa muito bem " a paisagem é uma sobreposição desigual de tempos" .
Tradução Google : " I was so impressed with your analysis that you took a LOT of things. But the thing is that for us, it inevitably dialogues in another way ... because we know the scenarios and all the analogies with the reality that the film brings. I think this past future is great. And when you travel to Brazil it is always that feeling of many Brazis and many times coexisting. A Brazilian geographer, black, who is also worth looking for, Milton Santos has a phrase that fits very well "the landscape is an unequal overlap of times".
I thought there was too much Brazilianness in Bacurau for an foreing to understand, but your analysis of this film is so accurate that I had to acknowledge my prejudice. It's precisely the fact that you're not Brazilian that your point of view was incredibly powerful. I'm sure your video changed the way many people saw this movie. Long live the channel!
Bacurau is truly a masterpiece and is laced with Brazilian and especially northeastern Brazilian culture, because that's where the directors are from. There is so much symbolism and the messages in the movie are so powerful that I just teared up all the way through it when I watched it in the cinema for the 1st time.
It's truly a movie to rewatch and pay attention to the details. Research a little about the Cangaço movement in the Northeast of Brazil and the colonization of our country and I think you'll notice a lot more details that may pass you by on your first time watching this movie!
Great video, by the way! This is my first time watching your channel and I'm subscribing now. I'm wishing you all the success!
On point! This story is a tale of a near future Brazil that's headed towards some type of dictatorship; there's a scene where a TV is on while one of the hunters is searching an empty house. It's the news live and it says: "Public executions starts at 14:00 hours". Like you pointed out, they live in freedom and in this story probably one of the last places before being wiped out, even from the map.
“AGORA MATA ESSA KENGA” a legenda de milhõesssss
Man, that was a deep review. Love it
A movie with a lot of symbolism and depth.
Can't stop watching your reactions
Man, congratulations on the way you looked at the movie. I think you got a lot of what the producers wanted people to get. I'm happy and proud that this brazilian movie could get to you and could make you think about all those things. I agree with almost everything you said, and I'm happy to have found you youtube channel. Cheers
Maravilhosa análise! Fiquei feliz por você ter assistido e compartilhado. Ajudou até a aumentar minhas percepções sobre o filme. É uma análise inteligente e atenciosa, valeu!
What i really like about your reactions is that you are a open minded guy. Usually when foreigners react to this kind of brazilian movie, or some music is always of the point of view of a person that really believes that they are better, and they think that what they knew about us is all they need to know.
You are showing us a diferent kind of american. We can see you thinking "What should i know to understand what message they are trying to transmit?" This is rare.
And that's why we really like you. You're smart. You're great.
Thank you for that.
"Auto da compadecida" is a sick movie. One of my national favorites. Thank you for all your reactions of brazilian stuff, It makes me even more proud of my country.
The music you are referring to is CAPOEIRA, a Brazilian fighting art brought by slaves from Africa. It is very common in the states of Bahia and Rio de Janeiro and is considered an intangible cultural heritage of humanity by UNESCO. I recommend the movie BEETLE which tells a little about the history of this fighting style. Congratulations for the channel, won another subscriber! Greetings from Brazil!
Neighboring Sounds (2012) is another film from the same director (Kleber Mendonça Filho). If you are interested in Brazilian history, you should learn a little about cangaço.
My man! I just discovered your channel and i feel like a friend. It is really genuine the way u describe, from your perspective, our country and culture. thank you so much! It is great to see that brazilians touch people so deply! greetings from Brazil, love ya!
Looooved this reaction. Thank you for this great tribute to Brazilian cinema. Love from 🇧🇷
Great and deep review, you got it pretty much everything. That is why Parasite and Bacurau were so loved all over the world, although the movie is in a specific context of a specific country the story that it is telling is UNIVERSAL.
Bacurau is one of the best films ever made in the history of Brazilian cinema, unfortunately I didn't have the opportunity to see it in the cinema but I saw it at home more than 10 times easily, a work of art. hugs from Brazil!
essa foi a melhor critica que eu vi sobre este filme, parabéns pelas lindas e sabias palavras voçe entendeu a essencia do filme
Man... I loved that you went so deep, some people here in Brazil did not like that movie so much, so I am glad that you showed us how much reflection there is to be made regarding this movie. I hope you can one day visit our country and see how varied and beautiful our country is!!! Peace and love
Amazing reaction and analysis! I just discover your channel and I'm lovin every video. Incredible sense to catch the concept of the film.
One thing I would like to add about the reception of the film here in Brazil, is that some white people (in br) here kind used the table scene, with the europeans, to deny they have white privilege in their on country (born and raised) and started claiming and using their latinidade as a shield to not take responsibility on the conversation about the racism we black people face here. I hope I was able to make myself understandable and I loved your reaction.
This film wasn’t received, it wasn’t even played in the big movie theaters, our midia just pretended it didn’t exist and hoped that no one would notice it
Bacurau is my favorite movie and it’s so interesting to see the perception of a foreigner! The northeast region of Brazil where I am from has to resist prejudice from the rest of Brazil actually. Since our region in the blackest/brownest/poorest... so as you can see in the movie the white brazilians from the south truly think they are better than us. In a way, we deal with facism, xenophobia and racism in our own country. Just to show that mixed people, native people and black people struggle everywhere and Brazil is no exception. This movie means so much to me because it shows how strong we are, still resisting to this day the attempts of the colonizers to destroy us. We are dehumanized by even people that share with us the same nationality. So thank you for this review!!! All of the other movies from these directors are AMAZING by the way
Os melhores reacts do UA-cam! ❤👏
Oh, maaaan!!!! I love Bacurau. Be sure, Brazil is more like Bacurau than it is São Paulo. About half of Brazil live in small cities and small towns. And I actually loving that someone out of Brazil could enjoy and understand a little of what was going on.
And Sônia Braga is amazing, we love her acting. She's a master actress..
Awesome analysis! Interesting to watch people outside of Brazil understanding what the movie is all about
By the way, all the movies that Kleber Mendonça Filho directed is awesome af. Neighbouring Sounds and Aquarius are both very celebrated internationally. He has a very unique language and brings back the author's filmmaking to Brazil's mainstream cinema.
This Guy talked about the film for half the vídeo and It ALL worth it, this Man is not taking advantage of the content he is listening to It all and learning with It, u a wise Man i love u fr fr on god
incredible analysis, bro. first just your commentary on the movie as it happened. but then especially your remarks afterwards.
Thanks for the reaction to our movie's 🇧🇷
Man about that part when they say that are from the south of Brasil where was colonized by Italians and Germans and I am from this State that is called Rio grande do Sul ( great river of the south) that is basically the Brazilian Texas so we are the Brazilian cowboys basically and my city in is where their is more Germans outside of Germany ( we even win a barrage from Germany when we were having problems with flood in our city ) but even being of a city like that I myself have a grand grandma that is black Brasil is mixture of races and cultures and that is what makes us strong.
P.S. I'm very happy that I find your Chanel you are very cool dude and sorry for my English 😎
Rio grande do sul has nothing to do with texas. Texas, the south of usa, which is way more similar to the northeast of brazil (where bacurau is set), and yet it's a poor comparison.
@@thainamaia1089 I didn't mean geographic or how the land looks like I'm talking about the people and their culture
@@alexandres.schneider9332 me too. If we could compare -which i am highly against it - texas, and the south of usa as a whole, has many similarities as the northeast of brasil , historically, culturally, demographically, even the historical xenophobia that the northeast of brasil faces, seems like what happens with the south of usa. But again, i think it's a poor comparison. Both areas has it's own history and particularities.
@@alexandres.schneider9332 and i'm not hating on you. I'm only answering cause it's vital to the narrative of the movie, since the couple from the south of brasil gather with the gringos to attack bacurau (and it's actually funny that we're talking in english, we both brazilians, i'm from rio grande do norte by the way)
@@thainamaia1089 the south as a lot of similarities too like is time independent of the rest of the country being right in the side of another country that have a Spanish culture the agriculture as the normal way of living the ideals and the people are kind of similar but still you right is not exactly a good comparation but to explain easily to one American will do
Mano vc é um gringo arretado! Um abraço pra vc e sua cass.
Adorei as reflexões que você trouxe do filme . Ótimo vídeo 😁
Mano, esse cara é muito bom! Boto fé que é acima da média até para os padrões americanos. Sagaz nas análises!
Esse canal vai longe, dá foco na arte brasileira de uma forma sincera. Vamos fazer o cara crescer! //RT
Amazing Analysis! It is great to see the point of view from someone outside Brasil
I reccomend Good Manners(Boas Maneiras) it's a Brazilian movie that mix fantasy and horror. One of my favorite movies, makes me so proud.
Amo, tá pra entrar na Netflix
damn, your analysis bordered on perfection, it's good to see people from the US who are consigning to see the horizon, not just the navel itself...
And in this movie there are so many symbolisms, I hope you found them.
As a Brazilian I am so proud that you've watched that movie, liked it and picked up the references! also loved your review! (:
11:30, yes her name is Sonia Braga, she played Mrs. Westlake in the Cosby Show
What a great review, I'm so glad I found this channel!
man, keep going with the brazilians films! we’re loving it!
the thing about your reviews that i, as someone from Brasil, really respect, is how your aproach on subjects that are regional is made with care and respect. You take a very respectfull distance when you speak about things you dont know as someone that is inside the context you are speaking about. Even on the rap videos , although you feel conected , the questions that are intrinsic about problems concerning a 3rd world country, you aproach with respect and verbalize in a way that respect can be felt.
Mad respect for you...sorry for the poor english.
My guy workin all nations I love it👌🏾👌🏾
I'm happy to see this video! Mando um salve de Pernambuco!
Man, you give some real good reviews, as always. Keep them coming.
Hey man, great vid! I really like your observations and how you describe how suffering could be a commodity. I was really curious how an american would see this movie and i gotta say you understood things that many of my brazilian friends didn´t. Yet there are some many litlle things, symbologies and references that are hard to translate. Like how no one that arrives in Bacaru visits museum despite of the inomerous invitations, this is a critic to us brazilians and our lack of historical memory, in the end is where the people of the village get their guns from, simboliyng their history as the ultimate resistence weapon. The shooting occurs at the school, representing the fight for the future. The books dropped from the truck shows how owr public education is treated by politics. The flying saucer shaped drone could symbolize how the foreigns perceive the simple man from the poor countries as ignorant and without acess to technology, besides its a clear reference to the surveillance cameras on John Carpenter´s "They Live". There are actually lots of references to Carpenter´s work ; from the soundtrack wich includes a song by him and the school´s name is João Carpenteiro, or John Carpenter in portuguese, for example. There is this duality between regionalism/tradition x globalization/technology througoutthe movie.
Lunga can be interpreted as a wild and violent side that the brazilian people try to hide. We have this weird proud of being internationally know as cordial and hospitable, almost submissive.
The severed heads in the end as well as some articules in the museum tells us the that the Bacurau people are descendents from Lampião, who was the leader of a very famous band of outlaws in the 20´s and 30´s in that region; Lampião's exploits and reputation turned him into a folk hero.
Sônia Braga(the ladie from the Cosby´s show) is very famous actress overhere, she had a good international carrer in the 80´s and early 90´s. Her daughter is also actress with a solid hollywood carrer and she debuted in "City of God" wich i jus saw you also made a review.
The reception to the movie as you could imagine was very polarizing. While It was very well received by the media and won many international awards some more conservative sectors of our society were brutally opposing the distribuition of the film and campaigning for its boycott. All that controversial end up helping the comercial sucess that Bacurau became here. Its release gained even more power due to the delicated politacal situation we find ourself, with a recently elected president from the far right, authoritarian, homophobic and racist known as the "Trump of the Tropics"(but believe me, ours is worst!!)
Oh yes, and the pill that the locals take is actually a seed. it is not so unusual for traditional communities to consume plants or the like with psychotropic properties in their rites and/or ceremonies.
Anyway this comment is gigantic already so ill leave it here, its just that i feel that i could talk about this movie for hours!
Once again congrats for the video, sorry for my english and greetings from Brazil!
PS. I have a feeling you are going to get a lot of views from my fellow coutrymen, we love to see the "gringos" talking about us
Thank you SO MUCH for doing this! Its so important to share culture! Bless ya
There is literaly a movement in Brazil called "The South is my country" were the idea is to separate the south from the rest of the country. So is pretty beleveable that those two would use that colonization argument. Definitly a point of self reflection in the movie.
Quer retratar não só o sul não, região sudeste tá englobada nisso ai.
