@HenriqueLinoPacheco I just wanted to make a comment about the granade scene. When I was in the army in Brazil, they did it to me!! 😊 Those were crazy days at the end of the military dictatorship.
This movie is based on real-life events. The character of Captain Nascimento was inspired by the former BOPE Captain, Rodrigo Pimentel. In fact, he co-authored a book titled Elite of the Troop, which served as the inspiration for the film. If you enjoyed this movie, you absolutely need to check out Elite Squad 2. it's even better than the first one!
@@carlosmagnomacieira8210 i think its just two different goals, the first one is more about the crime and the police while the second is more about the political and the police
A reação de vcs é a reação que o diretor do filme queria, que não gostassem do capitão Nascimento. Só que a maioria do povo br gostou do Nascimento huahuahuahuahuahua
Brasileiros sofrem tanto com violência que acreditam 100% que o diretor realmente queria que odiassem o BOPE, sendo que o próprio filme apresenta o BOPE como uma policia honesta, e o Nascimento como um cara vítima de síndromes e traumas devido as ocorrências na corporação. O diretor não queria que odiassem o BOPE, ele queria criticar o sistema. A prova disso é o quanto essa palavra se repete no segundo filme. Ele deixou em aberto para que os próprios expectadores concluissem a narrativa. Tropa de elite mostra diferentes lados da violência, onde todos são reais, e todos são vítimas de certa forma. Todos estão presos em um sistema que não vai acabar nunca, porque como dito pelo próprio Nascimento, o sistema é foda.
@@gessicasilva3143 O sistema é só um bando de homens engravatados e sorridentes explorando e roubando uma população idiotizada, sem cultura, e preguiçosa. A mudança é possível, mas precisa ser de baixo para cima. A correção não virá de dentro do sistema, terá de vir de fora dele.
Pq é melhor gostar do nascimento do que dos bandidos e corruptos que são a maioria no filme. A gente fica inclinado a escolher o menos pior. Mas o menos pior é um ser humano com seu lado sombrio exposto. É o mal necessário. O mais foda do filme é que o protagonista é um anti-heroi, pq ele salva e tbm mata. Diferente do Batman hehehehrhher
Please, react to the sequel! Any people prefer the first one, because it is a classic, but the second one has a much deeper script, in my opinion it is even better than the first one.
45:33 nobody gets how mathias kept his promisse not to do bad to the girl. He is standing idle, doing nothing, all the other cops are doing the bad stuff, not him
you guys have no idea of how this movie was so quoted back in the day, it was like a meme, everyone knew the lines, it became part of our daily life. Unfotunately most of it is lost if you dont know brazilian portuguese
48:30 About the shoes... Here in Brazil, top sneakers like Nike sometimes cost ONE ENTIRE MONTH of minimum wage, not rarely a lot more. So yeah, if that kid, who lives in the slums, let alone all that way up, owns a pair of sneakers like those, they're probably stolen or they were bought with money he got from working for crime. One of the cops even says that those shoes are worth more than his paycheck" or something like that.
Na boa, depois de tantos anos eles mandam um react desses... simplesmente infantilóide... é só para pegar os click de brasileiros... em 2 semanas já é o terceiro vídeo mais visto do canal.... credo... que react horroroso, sem contexto... não só do Brasil, mas de mundo, de realidade... não à toa no final a moça diz que prefere comentar comédia... ah vá! O pior é que pelo jeito vai monetizar em cima.... só o fato do cara da esquerda, depois de 1/3 do filme achar que os dois que subiram o morro eram corruptos já mostra que nem vendo direito estava... e a outra perdida sem saber se era mesma ceno do começo do filme... lastimável.
@@RodBrites Só os lerdões pra não perceberem isso, ficam parecendo uns bobões agradecendo os cara por fazerem react de algo Brasileiro, parece q estamoso em 2012, eu não aguento mais ver gringo usando conteudo Brasileiro. Chega a ser triste a vira-latisse dessa molecada.
You don't get it... in Brazil, those nikes costs one month or more of the minimum wage. It was an evidence that something was off... homie didnt have nothing in his house, but was walking with a expensive shoes... In USA the access to goods from famous brands is way cheaper than in Brazil.
it is funny that this movie was made as a criticism to the cops and such, but the normal people are so fed up with the corruption and with the robbers, drug dealers, gangs...almost everone here has been mugged one or more times in their lives...and it is almost the same type of people... So, this movie made the BOPE's popularity increase in an amazing way and gave them heroes status...
I'm from Rio de Janeiro Brazil, the place where the movie takes place, in the tennis scene, the police knew he was involved because the value of sneakers in Brazil is impossible for a teenager living in a favela to be able to buy it, not even the police would be able to buy it if they saved money for a whole year.
24:13 At the party, the drug dealers weren't going to kill Fabio, they were just going to pay the police money so they wouldn't patrol that area of the favela, but when Neto looked he thought the drug dealer was going to pull out a gun, you missed that explanation somewhere along the way.
This movie tries to make the police look bad and the druggdealers like the nice guys. But the people in Brazil didn't buy it. They know these directors and actors and political leftist activists trying to destroy all the police like everyone was corrupt and bad. They want to legalize drugs in Brazil. And the communist Supreme Court is doing it. 😢
43:54 An important context here: all the filming of the film was done in a REAL favela in Rio de Janeiro and with the authorization of organized crime and drug trafficking in that favela. The film's director said that, during the filming of this scene, the drug dealer who owned the hill and who was following the filming gave "consultancy" saying that the actor had to scream more because when they killed people like that - they call it microwave - the victim always screamed a lot. So you understand that this film is neither a joke nor fiction.
It's funny the directors can find the criminals and the police can't lmao that's just one of the reasons this country is a joke. Just like when Michael Jackson came and instead of talking to the police he went to talk to the crime lords*. It's only the idiots here that don't get it, the country is run by them today in every sense.
Funny fact, elite squad was meant to show captain nascimento as a vilain. But Brazil is such a security mess that people actually loved him. Ill be honest i love too. The sequel they tried to change him making him more soft and taking things more in a political area than a violence day routine. It kinda loses some essence but it is good
Nothing wrong in laughing in some parts of the movie, actually the movie has many funny moments and people at the time of it's release keep quoting these phrases everytime. I remember in the movie theater a lot of people laughed at various things said in the screen.
This movie is a sad reality, probably even understated in the scenes. But to not give a bad picture of Brazil, 90% of the country is quite normal and "peaceful" just like the US. But the favelas in Rio is a real problem, not a single place in the rest of the country compare to that.
não esta de jeito nenhum, não existe favela facção de drogas ou oque for que seja que resista ao governo, o governo no final sempre ganha, se existe favela no brasil não é pq a "policia" esta perdendo, é pq o governo permite e incentiva que isso aconteça, quanto mais trafico mais dinheiro na mão da pirâmide que os poderosos que estão no topo recebem, da pra ter uma boa ideia no tropa de elite 2, a gente vê todo o caminho da boca de fumo ate os governadores prefeitos policiais corruptos traficantes pessoas da mídia etc. Não existe lei e combate ao trafico no brasil, somente uma sombra pras pessoas conseguirem seguir suas vidas enquanto o esquema rola
guys that one of the best reaction i ever seen, keep up with the good work! i`m brazilian living in the US for a while, hope to see more from the channel
Original Nike has always been expensive in Brazil, the cheapest is worth almost half a salary, if it's an Air Jordan, there's no way around it, it's worth a full salary or more, things are expensive in Brazil for Brazilians, today is 1 month in full to receive the equivalent of 230 dollars, at that time, 1 whole month working, it was 19 dollars, the salary of a BOPE soldier was 75 dollars a month, a cool Nike was 100 dollars, hence the soldier's comment, saying that tennis was more valuable than his salary, and the boy in the favela, without many opportunities for decent and registered employment in that place, would hardly be able to afford it, so it is a very prejudiced suspicion, but the context of that place is hardly a good reality to live in, Most people in the favela are not criminals, they work honestly to get out of there, they don't buy "nonsense", they save money to go to another neighborhood, so the boy was "comfortable" in the favela and with his sneakers, because he was part of that movement .
@@J.A.F.J infelizmente o Brasil como um todo tá indo pra direção do que se tornou o Rio De Janeiro, não tem politica que resolva, porque foi a politica quem criou os problemas.
The focus of crime shown in both films (Elite Squad 1 and 2) is the favelas of Rio de Janeiro. The city of Rio de Janeiro has 763 favelas, home to 1,393,314 inhabitants, which corresponds to 22% of the city's total population. Why does Rio de Janeiro have so many favelas? Because when slavery was abolished in Brazil, in 1888, the city of Rio de Janeiro was the capital of Brazil and all black people who were "liberated" had no way to support themselves, how to live, how to eat. Therefore, they began to build precarious houses on the city's hills, which gave rise to favelas. That's why, unfortunately, Rio de Janeiro is like this. The majority of people who live in Rio de Janeiro's more than 700 favelas are hard-working, good-hearted people. But, because they are marginalized and live in poverty, without access to almost any rights and services from the State, they are held hostage either by organized crime and drug trafficking or by militias - which are created by corrupt police officers. It's a HUGE SOCIAL PROBLEM, and not just a crime issue. The films only show one side of the problem.
I’m brazilian and came here to say that we have the other most popular and most watched call “Cidade de Deus” and one more call “Carandiru” but the last one should looking of about is! It’s the 3 most reacted by foreign channel’s on RUclips
Fun fact: Nowadays, the director claims Capt. Nascimento was supposed to be the villain. This is obviously false. When the movie came out, political polarization was not as strong as it is now, and 99% of Brazilians saw him as the hero he is (most still do). It was many years later, when making the police look good started to be frowned upon in the artistic community that he started to say "I wanted to raised awareness about police brutality". No he didn't, and it's obvious when you watch the movie. He made the whole country admire and love BOPE.
I worked at the college's directorial village where the scenes with young people taking drugs were filmed. I already knew about the filming of this film almost a year before it came out. Caio Junqueira, who plays Neto, passed away a few years after the film was released, unfortunately.
The formula for success is... reacting to Brazilian films, all the channels from other countries that have reacted to Brazilian content have achieved more than 50,000 views. Brazilians like me love to watch this kind of content.
We live in a daily war. If your GPS accidentally makes you enter a community, it's unlikely you'll get out alive. Public authorities have no interest in ending drug trafficking, as many of the state's councilors have links to organized crime. This film does not even show the tip of the iceberg that is violence in Rio de Janeiro. I think that's what Oscar voters didn't understand, they thought Elite Squad was a film of gratuitous violence, but it's the reality we live in. Just as WWII films try to portray the horrors of war, Elite Squad portrays our reality.
Hi, nice react. This is one of the best brazilian movies so far. It was suppose to be a documentary, but the director changed into a movie. The initial intention was to show how brazilian's elit squad was so brutal, but the audience loved, because no one likes bad guys. Theres a meaning in Brazil: "Good bandit is dead bandit'. There's a second movie, where Nascimento will discover who's the real guilty on all this situation. For a comedy, try to watch "Tudo Bem no Natal que Vem", it's a Christmas comedy, very funny and with a strong message.
Hi, friends, this film is almost a documentary of the situation in the favelas of Rio de Janeiro. This really happens frequently, unfortunately our country suffers a lot from violence.
This film was clearly made to tarnish the image of the police in our country, especially BOPE. My father, a former BOPE officer, says it doesn’t reflect their actual experiences at all. Your reaction to this film also comes across as quite prejudiced. The reality here is very different from what’s portrayed.
55:33 Brazil is the 11th most violent country in the world, behind Venezuela, Afghanistan, Syria, Haiti, and a few others according to a 2024 study. Brazil is 6 times more violent than the US according to the same source. Brazil is not a poor country. It is the 8th largest economy in the world! So, poverty does not explain the violence. The biggest problem in Brazil is the social injustice. On the index of economic inequality, Brazil is ranked 17th. Most of the countries ahead of Brazil are from Africa, with just a few from the Middle East. There is only one country ahead of Brazil that is not from those regions. That country is Mexico, which is in the 12th position. Out of the 169 countries included in this 2022 study, the US is ranked 71st. According to 2022 statistics, 111 people die as a result of violence per day in Brazil. 17 people die daily due to police violence. There is violence everywhere, I agree. But there are levels.
@SiblingsReactandDrink you are welcome, my friend! I just wanted to add that Brazilian movies do not depict violence because it sells movie tickets. They depict violence because it is a sad common occurrence. Violence happens everywhere. In big cities; in the countryside; in favelas; and in rich boroughs. I left Brazil 30 years ago. I love the people and nature, but this society has no upward mobility. I was very poor when I left it.
Bruh, in Brazil, it's not right to call ppl who live on slums "Innocents", bc it's more common seeing ppl hiding drug dealers after a highway pursuit. The worst part it's to call big operations who kill 30/35 drug dealers, they make protests to see Police falling, meanwhile you can see them in these "Baile funk" holding guns, using Bulletproof vest and saying "f*ck the PMERJ (Militar police from Rio de janeiro), without discharging the reality those slums are dominated by those criminals, and now the society are protecting drug dealers by their own.
A milícia composta de policiais, ex policiais, policiais aposentados, e militares em geral, dominam 57% das áreas habitadas do RJ... Na favela tem fábrica de arma e munição? Ou será que a policia é majoritariamente corrupta, principalmente no Hell de Janeiro? kkkkkk assiste o Tropa de Elite 2 que o Nascimento não só explica como desenha e mostra, mas vcs n conseguem entender além do simples bem vs mal
Thrust me, these pair of shoes it's worth like four months salary in the 80s and even more nowadays... If someone gets something really expensive in the slums, that Pearson work with the crime... I can say, I'm a Brazilian who live in a slum🇧🇷🇧🇷... And can't buy these shoes even working the entire year
O que vocês acham que acontece em Guantanamo? Pick-nick? E só um pouco mais distante da sua janela para vocês não ouvirem os gritos. E permanecer com a ideia de que estão acima de tudo isso!
Hi, I've been following the channel since Cidade de Deus. It would be interesting if you could react to Carandiru. I don't know if it has English subtitles, but here's a suggestion. And this movie has a sequel Elite Squad 2: The Enemy Within / Tropa de Elite 2: O Inimigo Agora é Outro Chicharron might be our Torresmo.

The formula for success is... reacting to Brazilian films, all the channels from other countries that have reacted to Brazilian content have achieved more than 50,000 views. Brazilians like me love to watch this kind of content.
Thanks so much for watching our channel and your advice. Cheers!
We live in a daily war. If your GPS accidentally makes you enter a community, it's unlikely you'll get out alive. Public authorities have no interest in ending drug trafficking, as many of the state's councilors have links to organized crime. This film does not even show the tip of the iceberg that is violence in Rio de Janeiro. I think that's what Oscar voters didn't understand, they thought Elite Squad was a film of gratuitous violence, but it's the reality we live in. Just as WWII films try to portray the horrors of war, Elite Squad portrays our reality.
Thanks for watching and comments.
Elit squad 2
🇧🇷 Very grateful to see our film productions. we have great films in Brazil.
Drinking a dollar cachaça and some corn beer while 35°C outside, man i love this country ❤
Cheers!
and that kid from the shoes that got beat up etc was not inocent. He was the same kid that let Maria "escape" when they got her friends killed.
This movie is very good, very good indeed
Yes it is. Thanks for watching our reaction.
Hi, nice react. This is one of the best brazilian movies so far. It was suppose to be a documentary, but the director changed into a movie. The initial intention was to show how brazilian's elit squad was so brutal, but the audience loved, because no one likes bad guys. Theres a meaning in Brazil: "Good bandit is dead bandit'.
There's a second movie, where Nascimento will discover who's the real guilty on all this situation.
For a comedy, try to watch "Tudo Bem no Natal que Vem", it's a Christmas comedy, very funny and with a strong message.
Que maneiro 😁👍
Thanks!
React Tropa de elite 2
Por favor...react tropa de elite 2 também ✌🏾👍🏾
Thanks for your recommendation. Cheers!!
For those who don't know, Captain Nascimento is the VA for the Death Wolf in Puss in Boots.
Did not know that. Thanks!
funny movie from Brazil: Auto da compadecida
Fun fact: In Brazil we also says “chin chin” when we cheers 🥂.
Great, chin chin to you my friend!
@ chin chin!
ASSISTAM CARANDIRU
love how they watched half of the movie without really understading what was going on... bless them
it was like watching a movie with my GF, she is watching the scenes and reading the words but she doesnt understand the story, this is too funny
Até hoje no Rio de Janeiro é assim ou pior
Thanks for watching and your comment.
53% do Rio de Janeiro são territórios controlados por facções ou milícias
Chicharon in Brazil is called Pururuca.
*Edit: The correct name is Torresmo. Pururuca is the pork skin cooking method.
Thanks so much for watching and responding to the peruruca question. Cheers!
@@SiblingsReactandDrink You are welcome. In fact the correct name is Torresmo. Pururuca is the name of the pork skin cooking method.
Brasil brow ❤
Hi, friends, this film is almost a documentary of the situation in the favelas of Rio de Janeiro.
This really happens frequently, unfortunately our country suffers a lot from violence.
Se tem br no video tem br nos comentários 😂
Eu adoro Elite Squad e City of Gods. Um abraço da cidade de Natal-RN Brasil
Thank You! Um abraço da cidade de Chicago.
As a Brazillian, thank you. I hope the rest of my countrymen show up as well.
Thanks so much for watching our channel. Cheers!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ i love this film!!!
First movie reaction with people drinking....NOW WE'RE TALKING!
CHEERS to you!
29:14 the real actor got a pink eye in the day of the filming. That´s why he is using sun glasses.
I strongly recommend Elite Squad 2 to fully understand these characters stories.
Thanks!
Chicarron is torresmo here.
Thanks!
The best Brazillian comedy of ALL time would bê : a dog's Will (2000) , enjoy.
Thanks for watching and your movie recommendation. Cheers!
Na minha opinião é o melhor filme brasileiro!
Thanks for watching and commenting.
Definitely got to do the whole brazilian crime saga: city of god, carandiru, elite squad 1, last stop 174, elite squad 2 and 100 against 1
Thanks for watching and your recommendations.
@SiblingsReactandDrink last one is *400 against 1
Congrats for your reaction, the seguel are even better, a more blockbuster movie
Thank you for comment and for the movie recommendation!
Esse filme continua atual
Thanks for watching
Watch central do Brasil and auto da compadecida please!
Thanks for the movie recommendations and for watching our channel. Cheers!
Central do Brasil yes, but Auto da Compadecida is a hard one due to all the cultural jokes that will not translate to other languages.
Watch "O auto da compadecida" a brazillian comedy with some local western.
This film was clearly made to tarnish the image of the police in our country, especially BOPE. My father, a former BOPE officer, says it doesn’t reflect their actual experiences at all. Your reaction to this film also comes across as quite prejudiced. The reality here is very different from what’s portrayed.
Muito bom,o do meio parece uma ator aqui do Brasil,ele fez e faz algumas novelas..
What is the actors name?
55:33 Brazil is the 11th most violent country in the world, behind Venezuela, Afghanistan, Syria, Haiti, and a few others according to a 2024 study. Brazil is 6 times more violent than the US according to the same source.
Brazil is not a poor country. It is the 8th largest economy in the world! So, poverty does not explain the violence. The biggest problem in Brazil is the social injustice.
On the index of economic inequality, Brazil is ranked 17th. Most of the countries ahead of Brazil are from Africa, with just a few from the Middle East. There is only one country ahead of Brazil that is not from those regions. That country is Mexico, which is in the 12th position. Out of the 169 countries included in this 2022 study, the US is ranked 71st.
According to 2022 statistics, 111 people die as a result of violence per day in Brazil. 17 people die daily due to police violence.
There is violence everywhere, I agree. But there are levels.
Thanks for sharing this this information with us.
@SiblingsReactandDrink you are welcome, my friend!
I just wanted to add that Brazilian movies do not depict violence because it sells movie tickets. They depict violence because it is a sad common occurrence.
Violence happens everywhere. In big cities; in the countryside; in favelas; and in rich boroughs.
I left Brazil 30 years ago. I love the people and nature, but this society has no upward mobility.
I was very poor when I left it.
Many foreigners watch this film and think it's an exaggeration of violence. I'm Brazilian and I say that sometimes it's much worse hahaha

Thanks for commenting and watching our channel.
Bruh, in Brazil, it's not right to call ppl who live on slums "Innocents", bc it's more common seeing ppl hiding drug dealers after a highway pursuit.
The worst part it's to call big operations who kill 30/35 drug dealers, they make protests to see Police falling, meanwhile you can see them in these "Baile funk" holding guns, using Bulletproof vest and saying "f*ck the PMERJ (Militar police from Rio de janeiro), without discharging the reality those slums are dominated by those criminals, and now the society are protecting drug dealers by their own.
A milícia composta de policiais, ex policiais, policiais aposentados, e militares em geral, dominam 57% das áreas habitadas do RJ... Na favela tem fábrica de arma e munição? Ou será que a policia é majoritariamente corrupta, principalmente no Hell de Janeiro? kkkkkk assiste o Tropa de Elite 2 que o Nascimento não só explica como desenha e mostra, mas vcs n conseguem entender além do simples bem vs mal
Thrust me, these pair of shoes it's worth like four months salary in the 80s and even more nowadays... If someone gets something really expensive in the slums, that Pearson work with the crime... I can say, I'm a Brazilian who live in a slum🇧🇷🇧🇷... And can't buy these shoes even working the entire year
Thank you for your comment, we appreciate you taking the time to share your perspective.
Suggestion for a next one "Um Pistoleiro Chamado Papaco". It's a funny brazilian comedy.
Thanks for the recommendation
Não. É pornográfico.
Salute is spanish... Brazil speaks portuguese. It is "saúde".
Saúde to you!
WAGNER MOURA FOI FANTASTICO NESTE FILME
Yes he was!
React to the film "O Sequestro do Voo 375", or in English, "The Hijacking of Flight 375", another Brazilian film for you to discover
Thanks so much for your recommendation. Cheers!
Captain Nation was meant to be a villain from the viewers' point of view, but most people ended up liking him
I feel like we have prejudice about the police and justice, and this movie makes you see through their eyes and how it's harder than we think
See the other film, elite squad 2 and others!
We sure will. Thanks
Elite squad 2
Thanks!
very good movie! react Elite squad 2 please
Thanks for watching our channel and for the movie recommendation!
Vocês são muito engraçados. Obviamente foi uma diversão para os rapazes, talvez não muito agradável para a senhorita. 👋🏽🔓
LOL. Thanks for watching and commenting. Cheers!
The Band is called Titãs And the song is called Polícia.
O que vocês acham que acontece em Guantanamo? Pick-nick? E só um pouco mais distante da sua janela para vocês não ouvirem os gritos. E permanecer com a ideia de que estão acima de tudo isso!
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
Thanks for watching!
O melhor filme brasileiro de todos os tempos
👍👍
In portuguese. Pelos comentários o tropa de elite 2 FOI FEITO PARA VOCES 👍👌.
Em português .Based on the comments, elite troop 2 WAS MADE FOR YOU 👍👌
Since you asked for a brazilian comedy, you should defininetly watch "O auto da compadecida". It's a great movie and a great comedy. enjoy!!
Thanks so much!
31:40 man, the merge point of the story is the favela party. Everything - even the trainning - is AFTER that. The six months had already passed.
The "gringos" discovering how the Brazilian police really works. Welcome.
E que continue matando vagabundo
Being good doesn't net you profit, and if you do good you're messing with someone's pockets and that someone has money, power and a lot of buddies
Thanks for your sharing!
Hi, I've been following the channel since Cidade de Deus.
It would be interesting if you could react to Carandiru.
I don't know if it has English subtitles, but here's a suggestion.
And this movie has a sequel
Elite Squad 2: The Enemy Within / Tropa de Elite 2: O Inimigo Agora é Outro
Chicharron might be our Torresmo.
Thanks!
@@SiblingsReactandDrink 👍
Great reaction, I'm Brazilian and I would really like to see you guys watching the second movie ❤
We sure will. Thanks
Watch film 2, they address Brazil's problems in more depth
We will check it out for sure. Thanks
