You should watch all of Kleber Mendonça Filho's films. Brazil is famous for the quality of its short films, you should react to some of them. Kleber Mendonça was a film critic in Pernambuco and currently one of the most important and famous filmmakers in the country. He has exquisite short films that are well-known throughout Brazil. I recommend two that he made available to start, RECIFE FRIO (2009), an Argentine TV program about the curious climate change in the city of Recife, capital of the state of Pernambuco. And Vinil Verde (2006) is a children's fable, a film made only of photographs (photograms) like in La Jateé (1962, Chris Marker). You've already seen enough of Brazil from the films you've watched to understand these.
The villains being cartoonish is very intentional, to create this contrast between the locals and the outsiders, and also to make fun of Hollywood, which often stereotypes foreign characters in films, why not make them taste their own medicine?
Okay I said I wasn't gonna comment but one thing I like about this movie is that the gringos probably chose this little town because they see people from that region as uncivilized, people that no one would miss, see them as lesser. But in a way, that little community treats their elderly with care, they share food and medicine, they don't allow greedy politicians in because they have their own way of living - and in many ways this little community is more civilized, political and organized and put together than many other places in the world.
This movie is a whole metaphor, everything is a metaphor about how the "first world" plays with the lifes of the "second" and "third world". They treat their lifes as if they're just pieces in a game. Those two Brazilian assassins from the foreign group are from a rich region in Brazil where they think they're from the first world, but at the end they're just some third world people as well. The museum where the history of the people from bacurau is shown is about the "cangaceiros" a group of people from the northeast Brazil that was known for their violence. They are portraid by some as heros and by some as criminal. The names spoken at the end when they're counting the victims are from real people killed in Brazil due to the effects of these control and manipulation from the rich.
As a local, from where the movie was shotted and the director is from, the things the most gets me are the demographic layers. I mean, this movie makes clear that the Americans thinks they’re superior than the Brazilians, as the Brazilians from the south (white Brazilians) think they’re superior than the people from the northeast (where the movie happens and I live). Creating characters apparently stupids from a small village in the middle of nowhere, but making them using technology in sense of community, and also being aware of their history (they had a museum) for me it’s genius! Ps: Lia de Itamaraca, whose plays Carmelita, is a great singer. I recommend listening to her.
I'm sure the comments will be filled with Brazilian people explaining a bunch of stuff about Bacurau, so all I want to say is: again, thank you for showing interest to watch our movies. most non Brazilian youtubers only get to watch elite troop and that's it (not to mention a huge part of them completely miss the point of the movie) - so that makes me really happy, thank you.

Best way to describe this is as a “Brazilian Weird Western”. It directly makes a spin on US movies from the Western genre, picking the same general narrative but placing it in a Brazilian Northeast environment and context. There’s the small town in danger of foreign invaders (Very often Native Americans in US movies, or other non-white foreign enemies tropes) but this time they are the White Americans themselves. That’s basically it, you don’t need any deeper meaning tbh. There is some slight social criticism that some political background might help elevate (ex: the White Brazilians siding with the White foreigners instead of their own people; US/European imperialism and revolutionary themes) but that’s just something extra. Regarding your question, the mayor simply wanted to exploit the village for money. The Gringo “tourists” paid to be able to do that and for the mayor it’s easier to get rid of a small town nobody knows of and that is electorally hostile against him while getting some easy cash in return. It was supposed to be a win-win for him. Notice how the German Gringo screams for his money back in the end? “Dinero!!” is what he screams at the mayor. I really like Bacurau but I strongly think “Aquarius” is the better movie from the director! Please watch it one day!
This film refers to the era of cangaço, a banditry movement exclusively from the Northeast, with its origins recorded in the colonial period and its end in the 20th century. The cangaceiros were the pioneers of this movement, they were nomadic and very bloodthirsty criminals, something similar to the bandits of the Old West, pirates and Vikings. And despite being criminals, they shaped and indirectly influenced northeastern culture in many of its aspects, such as art, music, poetry, crafts, aesthetics and clothing.
The main aspects for the emergence of cangaço: 1: poverty 2: lack of instruction 3: "hostile" environment 4: rustic life 5: lack of support and perspective on life 6: prejudice, violence, dishonesty and social desolation.
This film shows a fictional city as an ideal people, demonstrating how the people of Brazil should be, without moralism and how they should act towards politicians. A people who know how to recognize and organize themselves against their true enemies, value their culture and self-esteem.
Another brazilian movie suggestion is : Caramuru. It is a comedy about the arrival of the first Europeans in the territory that is now Brazil, and the relationships with the original peoples. And it tells the story the marriage between Diogo Álvares Correia, a portuguese man who was on a ship spank off the cost of Bahia ( supposedly ), and Paraguaçu, a woman from Tupinamba Nation.
Não gosto desse, acho um pouco ofensivo com comunidades indígenas k seiq ué é assim que os portugueses venderam a ideia mas sei lá 😅 eu gostava Quando era criança e depois fiquei meio hmmmmm
@@thefabfabsSim, tem isso. Um exemplo disso foi a ideia vendida de que os Indígenas eram preguiçosos por que não queriam "trabalhar" ( ser escravizados ). Mas, pelo fato de o cinema ser um braço da arte, assim como, livros, músicas e etc, eu prefiro que o autor exponha a ideia da forma que ele pensa, desde que não seja uma campanha óbvia pela eliminação de algum grupo humano, e o público que tire sua conclusões. Já li "minha luta" e não me tornei nazista, já li "...E o Vento Levou" e não me tornei racista, mas entendo que muitas obras causem repúdio por carregar preconceitos, e isso é bom, pois significa que um grupo significativo de humanos são contra esses preconceitos.
Bacurau (both the film and the city) is a fiction. There are elements that make reference to the context of the Northeast of Brazil, an underestimated region that sometimes suffers prejudice from the southeast of the country. The motorcycle scene reflects this view that the South of Brazil sometimes has of the Northeast, when the couple tries to convince the "tourists" that they are more like them, than their own people. I understand the film as a story of resistance and protagonism that represents the history of this region. Not only that, but the symbolism of education, culture, memory as a form of revolution and of keeping the identity of this place alive even in the face of situations in which other countries try to appropriate them and treat them as inferior to the point of dehumanizing those people, being able to kill them for fun. Interestingly, in an interview with director Kleber Mendonça, a person from a European country (I don't remember which one) asked him why he chose to treat the "tourists" like villains. And Kleber replied: why not? I think Bacurau provokes this inversion that the hollywood most of the time doesn't do. Some sides are generally used to being the good guys in the story. It is important that they realize that the other side also exists.
The history of the Bacurau people is connected to Cangaço, search about it, it’s a very interesting and important thing in the past of northeast of Brazil.
As someone born and raised on the very state where (part of) Bacurau was filmed, I love this movie because even amongst the Brazilian movies/series we rarely see the beauty of the region :3 a lot of Brazilians think the Northeast is just desert and poverty, but there's beautiful plants, and of course a beautiful culture. Growing up I visited the place they used for Lunga's hideout every vacation and I never expected to ever see it in such a good, internationally acclaimed movie. I can imagine it's hard to get the references of the movie without knowing the region's story, but it's also very interesting to listen to your point of view! Keep up the good work! ❤
There are so many references from Brazil's northeast that you can't even explain what this is all about. Like, how to explain Lia de Itamaracá showing up like a divindade? Or cangaço?
This movie has a lot of references to John Carpenter. The School is called "João Carpinteiro" (John Carpenter in portuguese), had a Carpenter's music in capoeira scene, the boy's death is similar to girl's death in Assault on precinct 13, and other aesthetic choices.
Suggestions: 1 = Tapete Vermelho 2 = O lobo atrás da porta 3 = Boas maneiras 4 = Aquarius 5 = Pixote, a lei do mais fraco 6 = Olga 7 = Reflexões de um liquidificador 8 = Mãe só há uma 9 = Deus e o Diabo na terra do Sol 10 = O dragão da maldade contra o santo guerreiro.
There is a Brazilian series called "dois irmãos" that you could watch to get a sense of stories in northern Brazil. The plot is pretty cool too, it's about a family of Lebanese immigrants living in Brazil in the 50s. It's inspired by a book of the same name.
The thing about the Northeast of Brazil is that it's been overexploited by the richer Southeast of Brazil and most of our regional cultural expressions will talk about that in a way or another, it's still a big sore spot for the nation. In the Northeast we have a social phenomena called "Cangaço", where in the 18-19th century the people took up arms and fought the repressive new republican forces, you can find a figure called Lampião in O Auto da Compadecida and the many pictures of Cangaceiros in the museum scene of Bacurau: it does have a meaning, they're the descendants of Cangaceiros, doing what they've always done - protecting the land and the people.
The name of the school, João Carpinteiro, it' a homage to John Carpenter since "Assault on precinct 13" was a huge influence. Also the siege soundtrack "Night" was composed by John Carpenter.
It's kinda interesting, cause you saw that as silly when that scene made me completely scared cause I know exactly what outside racism and outside discrimination feels like. We hear a lot of that speech here about people who thinks they are too "european" to be brazilian. So when I saw that scene I was angry at this two and completely scared of the outsider psychos. Made complete sense and not silly at all. Very interesting
My top 3 in Brazilian films. I love. Great reaction. It is a film that brings metaphors and different elements to discuss politics, society, human sordidness, collective strength, one can then see the distortion in the cultural identification of Brazilians, fascism, surrenderism, racism, domination, bathed in philosophy and history. It is an ecstatic experience for better and for worse. Despite being set in a future or timeless space, the film is very current. The first part of the film perhaps causes more strangeness, as it contains the main point of revelation of our regionalism, culture, and contemplative way of telling the story of those characters and especially that city, Bacurau. Then, when the second half arrives, the foreigners and their technologies enter the scene, trying to tie together a plot with American traits and molds (on purpose), making the public immediately identify with it, including all the violence.
Faz muito tempo que assisti, tinha atélido o livro uns anos antes. A recomendação é boa mas se me lembro bem o filme não era exatamente filmado em São Paulo, ou só em São Paulo. Filmaram em várias cidades do mundo e fizeram uma composição pra dar uma ideia de uma cidade grande qualquer do planeta.
@@henriquelinopacheco15 Bacana. Eu só assisti na época. Sou do Rio então minha referência de SP é mais pela TV e Internet mas lembro um pouquinho de falarem nas entrevistas sobre esse lance de usarem várias cidades. Não tenho certeza mas acho que uma delas era Vancouver ou alguma outra no Canadá.
all the North Americans in this film were instructed to act like an 80s action film. It's supposed to be caricatured and their script is also expository for this purpose
Mad, esse filme foi feito num período político muito polarizado do Brasil, onde metade da população tinha idéias de extrema direita e a outra metade de extrema esquerda. Daí fizeram esse filme de ficção mostrando políticos que apagavam uma cidade do mapa e vendiam aquele local para estrangeiros ricos e sádicos praticarem "caça esportiva" nas pessoas. É como se o filme quisesse representar o que os políticos do Brasil são capazes de fazer para ganhar dinheiro. Abandonar, desumanizar e vender a vida do povo aos interesses estrangeiros (sejam quais forem esses interesses) em troca de dinheiro. Daí, no filme, os moradores se unem para mostrar que não irão mais permitir serem usados como mercadoria. Basicamente é um filme feito por brasileiros PARA brasileiros, com a "intenção" de despertar reação na população. O filme transforma em metáforas bizarras, mazelas REAIS que acontecem no Brasil (e tão bizarras quantos as metáforas do filme), como: venda de desmatamento da amazônia para estrangeiros e brasileiros corruptos por dinheiro, comércio da prostituição infantil ou de mulheres adultas para estrangeiros e brasileiros por dinheiro, abandono de regiões pobres pelo poder político, desumanização de classes consideradas inferiores (negros, mestiços, nordestinos, pardos, pobres, etc) em comparação a uma parcela da população considerada mais "ariana" por se achar "mais branca" e com mais características de ascendência européia, etc. Daí, o filme faz uma miscelânia de todas essas mazelas e cria essa metáfora fictícia para "despertar reação da população". Uma imensa parte da população brasileira não tem acesso suficiente à educação e conscientização, o que os torna massa de manobra política e não há interesse político em educar a população para perpetuar os abusos. Basicamente o filme é sobre isso.
Moça, muito bom buscar trazer contexto aqui - mas me permita pontuar o seguinte: a rigor, nunca houve "extrema esquerda" no Brasil - seja porque o termo mais preciso seria "esquerda radical", seja porque esta nunca alcançou adesão massiva. Longe disso. Houve sim, é claro, um acirramento de ideologias oposta recentemente; mas envolvia a extrema direita e uma esquerda progressista, apenas. A ideia de que houve uma "polarização", com dois extremos diametralmente contrapostos, é parte da narrativa de um desses lados e não é bem realista, mas chega a ser diversionista, mesmo (ainda que muitos progressistas adotem a expressão). Tanto é assim que os diretores do filme e o elenco todo tomaram lados. Eles se posicionaram abertamente contra o governo da época 2017/2018 nos festivais internacionais, denunciando o que, da perspectiva deles (de esquerda majoritariamente progressista), era necessário evidenciar. Como poderiam "denunciar a polarização" ao mesmo tempo em que participavam dela? Há vários simbolismos, sim. A relevância histórica do filme é ser termômetro e representação dessas questões sociais, culturais, políticas, filosóficas - e trazê-las para provocar o aprofundamento do debate público.
@@s337fm Obrigada Sávio. Importante tentarmos dar um norte pro Mad, uma vez que as pessoas pedem que ele veja o filme, e talvez ele fique um pouco perdido no "contexto".
@@Julia-Nunes-LeiDaAtracao Sou eu quem agradeço por sua recepção tão educada e atenciosa, moça. Uma raridade nesses tempos de Internet! Concordo com você. A gente curte o Madvision e outros canais com BReact (reação a cultura brasileira) porque nos ajudam muito a reconectar ao sentido de sermos brasileiros, nossa identidade meio perdida em meio a tanto tumulto e distração. Revisar nossas referências e valores, por a força do inédito (para eles) como se fosse (para nós) novamente a primeira vez, pode ser uma experiência transformadora para nós também. Ótima semana, moça!
Realmente, houve uma divisão no país quando o filme foi feito mas isso não é relevante pra trama. O nordeste é há muito tempo esquecido pelo governo( isso incluí os próprios prefeitos) a temática retratada no filme é histórica.
@@sessediassousa2697 O fato de ser histórica não exclui automaticamente as correlações com os temas atuais - aliás, é um dos fortes do filme. Insisto: basta ver as entrevistas dos diretores, que fazem ligação direta com o que vivíamos à época, sempre aproveitando o buzz do filme para falar do país. Tem relação, sim, e muito, com o Brasil atual (e de sua época especialmente) - ao mesmo tempo em que carrega de simbolismos muitas situações. Essa não é a realidade do Nordeste brasileiro hoje; afinal, tem elementos até de cultura cyber/futurista. O cenário é mais dessa confluência histórica que você citou com fatores atuais, até bem regionais, mas a rigor o enredo tem caráter universal. Com as devidas adaptações, poderia retratar muitos lugares abandonados do país ou mesmo do mundo. Algumas questões pontuais perderiam sentido, claro - mas as de fundo poderiam continuar. Até por isso esse não é um filme propriamente realista. O gênero fílmico está mais para um "realismo quase fantástico" ou "pós-fantástico", em que os elementos esotéricos ou alienígenas fazem parte da trama e da nossa imersão, mas são "desnutridos" pela desmistificação do concreto: não há ETs, as visões podem ser efeito do psicotrópico - e assim por diante. Discordo só desse aspecto, mas o que você disse tem total relevância. O filme não é (nem deveria ser, mesmo) completamente centrado na atualidade - até porque evoca elementos do nazismo, da exploração de séculos, trata de drogas, sexo, gênero, entre muitos outros temas. É riquíssimo!

Não lembro de ter ouvido alguém comentar isso, mas a atmosfera de "Bacurau" é a mesma atmosfera (e estética) dos filmes de Glauber Rocha, do cinema engajado brasileiro, do "Cinema Novo". Metáforas poderosas da realidade!
21:33 Bro, think about why you don't think they would have technology. Do poor people in your country not have technology? Do people from small towns in your country not have technology? They might have been taken out of the map but they don't actually live in another world.
A primeira vez q eu assistir no cinema, parecia q eu estava assistindo um filme do Tarantino. Aquele Headshot q o velho deu no gringo pqp eu pulei da cadeira, naquela cena todo mundo gritou. Parecia que eu estava numa sessão do filme da Marvel
You need to watch the classic The Man Who Copied (O homem que copiava)(2003). It's a beautiful and intriguing novel, it's impossible not to like it, you'll be moved.
Lots of people already talked about the metaphors to colonialism and imperialism in Bacurau, I also want to bring another aspect regarding the people's reaction tho the americans killing: this is the resistence of the invisible ones. Also, in the beginning of the past century, this region was plaged by bandit groups who used to raid entire cities killing and looting (cangaço). The people of Bacurau knows very well how to defend themselfes.
U really need a cooler movie.. now that u met Sônia Braga and know about the great city of Sin/São Paulo, u could watch the movie "Tieta".. super cool and ''**light**'. No shots, for what i remember, only the good silence and strong light of the country side in Bahia. Still with the Brazilian twist u seem to love.
Hey man, please do a reaction to the film "Gonzaga from father to son", This film tells the story of the legendary king of Baião (a northeastern rhythm) who conquered Brazil at that time, the story is also a drama about the changes of parents from the protagonist's perspective and the divergent worldview between father and son in a generational conflict.
Thanks for the video, Mr. Madvision! Very Good! I think you will enjoy very much "Uma História de Amor e Fúria", a (very serious but enchanting) brazilian animation that shows five interlinked stories that runs along 4 centuries, from the arrival of the Portuguese to the futiristc XXI century Brazil. It's very beautiful and emotional. Sometimes it remembers me the japanese tradition fot serious themes animations (Gibli Studios, for example).
I was little bit anxious about this one, I was sure you would like it too; so it was disappointing when you told you'd already seen it before. Just to regain all happiness when you recognised you might had forgotten most of the movie - and clearly shown that was the case. Then it was just as good as a first reaction, probably 'cause you were too young to understand or even grasp more meaning from it at that time. [SPOILER] I guess that "cartoonish" moment on the dinner room, that one that annoyed you, was at the beggining what we could call "a didatic scene": when dialogues and facts are not quite realistic, but can be very "didatic" about the plot, showing some meaningful aspects would be hard to tell otherwise. In this case, white brazilians are infantilised in front of others, caucasians, once there are several brazilians that see theirselves "as (good as) europeans or americans" in a very racist way, categorizing and hierarchizing races, people, genders, cultures etc. This is a real thing here and the end of the scene shows it in a very graphic manner. [/SPOILER]
[SPOILER] This 'didatism' is also in the scene when Claudio and his wife try to go to another place and get murdered by hitmans. You said right before "What's the point of all of this!?" and that they and their lines don't seems real at that time; well: this is one of the key aspects on symbolism. Brazil (and Americas and OCeania in general, soon later Africa and Asia too) were expoliated for centuries from world potencies. What was the point of slavery, genocide and forced convertion, specially for those who were native or was brought here in lame ships? You see: the message is way more important then the realism here, but also the reality itself seems just... surreal! [/SPOILER] Another point: Lunga enbodies a "nowadays cangaceiro", an archaic type of "hero bandit" from late 1800 up to 1940's northeastern Brazil. To explain this reference is tricky, due to be a very specific thing from here - but you can think them as popular outlaws, a little bit like in westerns.
THAT WAS CRAZY! i think there’s a lot of symbolism of brazilian stuff I might’ve missed but I enjoyed this!!

As someone born and raised on the very state where (part of) Bacurau was filmed, I love this movie because even amongst the Brazilian movies/series we rarely see the beauty of the region :3 a lot of Brazilians think the Northeast is just desert and poverty, but there's beautiful plants, and of course a beautiful culture. Growing up I visited the place they used for Lunga's hideout every vacation and I never expected to ever see it in such a good, internationally acclaimed movie. I can imagine it's hard to get the references of the movie without knowing the region's story, but it's also very interesting to listen to your point of view! Keep up the good work! ❤
16:34 It's CAPOEIRA
Yesssss one of my favorite movies! I was obsessed with Lunga ❤
❤️❤️
“Estômago” it’s a good movie too
Yeah, a great movie, and very realistic, too.
There are so many references from Brazil's northeast that you can't even explain what this is all about. Like, how to explain Lia de Itamaracá showing up like a divindade? Or cangaço?
you should've watched this directors earlier works like "O Som ao Redor" and "Aquarius" first and then Bacurau.
This movie has a lot of references to John Carpenter. The School is called "João Carpinteiro" (John Carpenter in portuguese), had a Carpenter's music in capoeira scene, the boy's death is similar to girl's death in Assault on precinct 13, and other aesthetic choices.
Suggestions: 1 = Tapete Vermelho
2 = O lobo atrás da porta
3 = Boas maneiras
4 = Aquarius
5 = Pixote, a lei do mais fraco
6 = Olga
7 = Reflexões de um liquidificador
8 = Mãe só há uma
9 = Deus e o Diabo na terra do Sol
10 = O dragão da maldade contra o santo guerreiro.
There is a Brazilian series called "dois irmãos" that you could watch to get a sense of stories in northern Brazil. The plot is pretty cool too, it's about a family of Lebanese immigrants living in Brazil in the 50s. It's inspired by a book of the same name.
OMG!
I was kind of hoping you'd watch this...
"that's bullying" Guy was My professor at University 😂😂😂
The thing about the Northeast of Brazil is that it's been overexploited by the richer Southeast of Brazil and most of our regional cultural expressions will talk about that in a way or another, it's still a big sore spot for the nation. In the Northeast we have a social phenomena called "Cangaço", where in the 18-19th century the people took up arms and fought the repressive new republican forces, you can find a figure called Lampião in O Auto da Compadecida and the many pictures of Cangaceiros in the museum scene of Bacurau: it does have a meaning, they're the descendants of Cangaceiros, doing what they've always done - protecting the land and the people.
The name of the school, João Carpinteiro, it' a homage to John Carpenter since "Assault on precinct 13" was a huge influence. Also the siege soundtrack "Night" was composed by John Carpenter.
It's kinda interesting, cause you saw that as silly when that scene made me completely scared cause I know exactly what outside racism and outside discrimination feels like. We hear a lot of that speech here about people who thinks they are too "european" to be brazilian. So when I saw that scene I was angry at this two and completely scared of the outsider psychos. Made complete sense and not silly at all. Very interesting
My top 3 in Brazilian films. I love. Great reaction. It is a film that brings metaphors and different elements to discuss politics, society, human sordidness, collective strength, one can then see the distortion in the cultural identification of Brazilians, fascism, surrenderism, racism, domination, bathed in philosophy and history. It is an ecstatic experience for better and for worse.
Despite being set in a future or timeless space, the film is very current. The first part of the film perhaps causes more strangeness, as it contains the main point of revelation of our regionalism, culture, and contemplative way of telling the story of those characters and especially that city, Bacurau. Then, when the second half arrives, the foreigners and their technologies enter the scene, trying to tie together a plot with American traits and molds (on purpose), making the public immediately identify with it, including all the violence.
Just obsessed with you swearing in Portuguese so cute 😅
PORRA
😂😂😂 PORRA = OBRIGADO
This movie make-me to think. I live in this region of Brazil .
Another Brazilian movie
📢📢📢📢
Ensaio Sobre a Cegueira (Fernando Meirelles), é um dos melhores filmes para conhecer São Paulo
HAHAHAHA xD São Paulo in january 1st when they filmed
Ensaio sobre a Cegueira (en: "Blindness") is also from Fernando Meirelles, the director of City of God.
Good suggestion.
Faz muito tempo que assisti, tinha atélido o livro uns anos antes. A recomendação é boa mas se me lembro bem o filme não era exatamente filmado em São Paulo, ou só em São Paulo. Filmaram em várias cidades do mundo e fizeram uma composição pra dar uma ideia de uma cidade grande qualquer do planeta.
@@tucsab9705 Após saírem do local de internação, é sp 100%. Agora o lugar de internação ou o lugar mostrado antes da internação eu não sei.
@@henriquelinopacheco15 Bacana. Eu só assisti na época. Sou do Rio então minha referência de SP é mais pela TV e Internet mas lembro um pouquinho de falarem nas entrevistas sobre esse lance de usarem várias cidades. Não tenho certeza mas acho que uma delas era Vancouver ou alguma outra no Canadá.
My fav brazilian movie is Bicho de Sete Cabeças, its with Rodrigo Santoro. The movie its from 2000 but its deep till this days
all the North Americans in this film were instructed to act like an 80s action film. It's supposed to be caricatured and their script is also expository for this purpose
Kleber Mendonça Filho is amazing
I love this one so much
Mad, esse filme foi feito num período político muito polarizado do Brasil, onde metade da população tinha idéias de extrema direita e a outra metade de extrema esquerda. Daí fizeram esse filme de ficção mostrando políticos que apagavam uma cidade do mapa e vendiam aquele local para estrangeiros ricos e sádicos praticarem "caça esportiva" nas pessoas. É como se o filme quisesse representar o que os políticos do Brasil são capazes de fazer para ganhar dinheiro. Abandonar, desumanizar e vender a vida do povo aos interesses estrangeiros (sejam quais forem esses interesses) em troca de dinheiro.
Daí, no filme, os moradores se unem para mostrar que não irão mais permitir serem usados como mercadoria. Basicamente é um filme feito por brasileiros PARA brasileiros, com a "intenção" de despertar reação na população.
O filme transforma em metáforas bizarras, mazelas REAIS que acontecem no Brasil (e tão bizarras quantos as metáforas do filme), como: venda de desmatamento da amazônia para estrangeiros e brasileiros corruptos por dinheiro, comércio da prostituição infantil ou de mulheres adultas para estrangeiros e brasileiros por dinheiro, abandono de regiões pobres pelo poder político, desumanização de classes consideradas inferiores (negros, mestiços, nordestinos, pardos, pobres, etc) em comparação a uma parcela da população considerada mais "ariana" por se achar "mais branca" e com mais características de ascendência européia, etc.
Daí, o filme faz uma miscelânia de todas essas mazelas e cria essa metáfora fictícia para "despertar reação da população". Uma imensa parte da população brasileira não tem acesso suficiente à educação e conscientização, o que os torna massa de manobra política e não há interesse político em educar a população para perpetuar os abusos.
Basicamente o filme é sobre isso.
Moça, muito bom buscar trazer contexto aqui - mas me permita pontuar o seguinte: a rigor, nunca houve "extrema esquerda" no Brasil - seja porque o termo mais preciso seria "esquerda radical", seja porque esta nunca alcançou adesão massiva. Longe disso.
Houve sim, é claro, um acirramento de ideologias oposta recentemente; mas envolvia a extrema direita e uma esquerda progressista, apenas. A ideia de que houve uma "polarização", com dois extremos diametralmente contrapostos, é parte da narrativa de um desses lados e não é bem realista, mas chega a ser diversionista, mesmo (ainda que muitos progressistas adotem a expressão).
Tanto é assim que os diretores do filme e o elenco todo tomaram lados. Eles se posicionaram abertamente contra o governo da época 2017/2018 nos festivais internacionais, denunciando o que, da perspectiva deles (de esquerda majoritariamente progressista), era necessário evidenciar. Como poderiam "denunciar a polarização" ao mesmo tempo em que participavam dela?
Há vários simbolismos, sim. A relevância histórica do filme é ser termômetro e representação dessas questões sociais, culturais, políticas, filosóficas - e trazê-las para provocar o aprofundamento do debate público.
@@s337fm Obrigada Sávio. Importante tentarmos dar um norte pro Mad, uma vez que as pessoas pedem que ele veja o filme, e talvez ele fique um pouco perdido no "contexto".
@@Julia-Nunes-LeiDaAtracao Sou eu quem agradeço por sua recepção tão educada e atenciosa, moça. Uma raridade nesses tempos de Internet!
Concordo com você. A gente curte o Madvision e outros canais com BReact (reação a cultura brasileira) porque nos ajudam muito a reconectar ao sentido de sermos brasileiros, nossa identidade meio perdida em meio a tanto tumulto e distração. Revisar nossas referências e valores, por a força do inédito (para eles) como se fosse (para nós) novamente a primeira vez, pode ser uma experiência transformadora para nós também.
Ótima semana, moça!
Realmente, houve uma divisão no país quando o filme foi feito mas isso não é relevante pra trama. O nordeste é há muito tempo esquecido pelo governo( isso incluí os próprios prefeitos) a temática retratada no filme é histórica.
@@sessediassousa2697 O fato de ser histórica não exclui automaticamente as correlações com os temas atuais - aliás, é um dos fortes do filme. Insisto: basta ver as entrevistas dos diretores, que fazem ligação direta com o que vivíamos à época, sempre aproveitando o buzz do filme para falar do país. Tem relação, sim, e muito, com o Brasil atual (e de sua época especialmente) - ao mesmo tempo em que carrega de simbolismos muitas situações.
Essa não é a realidade do Nordeste brasileiro hoje; afinal, tem elementos até de cultura cyber/futurista. O cenário é mais dessa confluência histórica que você citou com fatores atuais, até bem regionais, mas a rigor o enredo tem caráter universal. Com as devidas adaptações, poderia retratar muitos lugares abandonados do país ou mesmo do mundo. Algumas questões pontuais perderiam sentido, claro - mas as de fundo poderiam continuar.
Até por isso esse não é um filme propriamente realista. O gênero fílmico está mais para um "realismo quase fantástico" ou "pós-fantástico", em que os elementos esotéricos ou alienígenas fazem parte da trama e da nossa imersão, mas são "desnutridos" pela desmistificação do concreto: não há ETs, as visões podem ser efeito do psicotrópico - e assim por diante.
Discordo só desse aspecto, mas o que você disse tem total relevância. O filme não é (nem deveria ser, mesmo) completamente centrado na atualidade - até porque evoca elementos do nazismo, da exploração de séculos, trata de drogas, sexo, gênero, entre muitos outros temas. É riquíssimo!

I hope you watch Marighella and Minha Mãe é Uma Peça 🙏🏻
As reações dele iguais às minhas quando vi esse filme doido.
4:27 São Paulo is like New York, where everyone goes with a dream of making money or be famous
Não lembro de ter ouvido alguém comentar isso, mas a atmosfera de "Bacurau" é a mesma atmosfera (e estética) dos filmes de Glauber Rocha, do cinema engajado brasileiro, do "Cinema Novo". Metáforas poderosas da realidade!
Please, react to "Marte Um", is amazing, you will love it
São Paulo is the richeist city of South America, is like the "Brazillian New York", with a lot museum, stadium, theaters and building
Assista 2 Filhos de Francisco também 🙏🏻
I love this movie. ❤
thank you so so much i was waiting for this reaction for so long omg ❤❤
loved it
Back to this serial Brazilian content enjoyed hehehehe
São Paulo is the biggest citty in all americas (yes, bigger than NY, LA and Mexico City)
SP tem a maior população, mas em área NY é maior.
@@joaovictorbarbosa49 Errado kkkkk NY tem 783,8 km² e SP tem 1.521 km². São Paulo é maior em população e área.
4:22 Nope. Just a huge chaotic, violent and poluted metropolis.
Search about "cangaço" and "lampião" and you will understand better about that region of Brazil
You should watch "Benzinho" with Karine Telles (the lady in the motorcycle which was in The Second Mother as well)
21:33 Bro, think about why you don't think they would have technology. Do poor people in your country not have technology? Do people from small towns in your country not have technology? They might have been taken out of the map but they don't actually live in another world.
watch this one too, pls: Hoje Eu Quero Voltar Sozinho (The Way He Looks )
coming this week
Nãoooo, muito ruim
I love your reactions! ❤😊
Mais um filminho ambientado aq no nordeste ❤
arrazoooo!!!
I recommend a very funny comedy film called "Cabras da peste" I don't know what it's like in English
"What are those born in Bacurau called?" is a question like... Those who are born in Europe are European etc
16:42 the white in 1700😂
Yeah, they should have visited the museum. 😂
A primeira vez q eu assistir no cinema, parecia q eu estava assistindo um filme do Tarantino. Aquele Headshot q o velho deu no gringo pqp eu pulei da cadeira, naquela cena todo mundo gritou. Parecia que eu estava numa sessão do filme da Marvel
You need to watch the classic The Man Who Copied (O homem que copiava)(2003). It's a beautiful and intriguing novel, it's impossible not to like it, you'll be moved.
React movies Mazaroppi ( um comediante antigo ) .
Watch the film "As boas maneiras" (Good Manner) it is a thriller with fiction.
Lots of people already talked about the metaphors to colonialism and imperialism in Bacurau, I also want to bring another aspect regarding the people's reaction tho the americans killing: this is the resistence of the invisible ones. Also, in the beginning of the past century, this region was plaged by bandit groups who used to raid entire cities killing and looting (cangaço). The people of Bacurau knows very well how to defend themselfes.
Lunga is a trans woman, you seemed to think you read wrong, but people were indeed referring to her as she/her because she's a woman
MINHA MÃE É UMA PEÇA, POR FAVOR EU IMPLOROOOO ❤❤❤😢😢
I suggest “Bingo: the king of the mornings”
One more: Olga
Lunga is a non-binary character and they are SUCH a badass.
U really need a cooler movie.. now that u met Sônia Braga and know about the great city of Sin/São Paulo, u could watch the movie "Tieta".. super cool and ''**light**'. No shots, for what i remember, only the good silence and strong light of the country side in Bahia. Still with the Brazilian twist u seem to love.
You have to watch Paulo Gustavo Movies called Minha mãe é uma Peça!
Hey man, please do a reaction to the film "Gonzaga from father to son", This film tells the story of the legendary king of Baião (a northeastern rhythm) who conquered Brazil at that time, the story is also a drama about the changes of parents from the protagonist's perspective and the divergent worldview between father and son in a generational conflict.
Thanks for the video, Mr. Madvision! Very Good! I think you will enjoy very much "Uma História de Amor e Fúria", a (very serious but enchanting) brazilian animation that shows five interlinked stories that runs along 4 centuries, from the arrival of the Portuguese to the futiristc XXI century Brazil. It's very beautiful and emotional. Sometimes it remembers me the japanese tradition fot serious themes animations (Gibli Studios, for example).
You can find it with not so good subtitles, here at RUclips

O curta é excelente. Mas na minha opinião o filme entendeu uma história que não precisava de extensão. O curta funciona perfeitamente.
Pls watch: o homem que copiava!

Sao paulo is our new york while rio is LA
BACURAU is global South.
I was little bit anxious about this one, I was sure you would like it too; so it was disappointing when you told you'd already seen it before. Just to regain all happiness when you recognised you might had forgotten most of the movie - and clearly shown that was the case. Then it was just as good as a first reaction, probably 'cause you were too young to understand or even grasp more meaning from it at that time.
[SPOILER] I guess that "cartoonish" moment on the dinner room, that one that annoyed you, was at the beggining what we could call "a didatic scene": when dialogues and facts are not quite realistic, but can be very "didatic" about the plot, showing some meaningful aspects would be hard to tell otherwise. In this case, white brazilians are infantilised in front of others, caucasians, once there are several brazilians that see theirselves "as (good as) europeans or americans" in a very racist way, categorizing and hierarchizing races, people, genders, cultures etc. This is a real thing here and the end of the scene shows it in a very graphic manner. [/SPOILER]
[SPOILER] This 'didatism' is also in the scene when Claudio and his wife try to go to another place and get murdered by hitmans. You said right before "What's the point of all of this!?" and that they and their lines don't seems real at that time; well: this is one of the key aspects on symbolism. Brazil (and Americas and OCeania in general, soon later Africa and Asia too) were expoliated for centuries from world potencies. What was the point of slavery, genocide and forced convertion, specially for those who were native or was brought here in lame ships? You see: the message is way more important then the realism here, but also the reality itself seems just... surreal! [/SPOILER]
Another point: Lunga enbodies a "nowadays cangaceiro", an archaic type of "hero bandit" from late 1800 up to 1940's northeastern Brazil. To explain this reference is tricky, due to be a very specific thing from here - but you can think them as popular outlaws, a little bit like in westerns.
