This might be the first time I didn’t take my eyes off the screen through out the whole movie!! The full reaction is on Patreon.com/Madvision ⭐️ (Movie Included)
A bit of this movie might get lost in translation. So, Val and Jessica are from the northeast, the poorest region in Brazil. It is very common from northeastern women to go to São Paulo and work as maids so they can send money back to their family in the northeast. That’s why Val and Jessica haven’t seen each other for almost 10 years. Another important point is that it’s very common in Brazil for a house to have a small, dark room in the back for the servants. A very Latin-American architectural invention - reminiscent of our colonial past and slavery heritage. Also, this movie takes place in the late 2000, early 2010, a time in Brazil were a lot of poorer people were achieving a better social economic status. Including going to university, which was unprecedented at the time. Jessica is supposed to represent that. She is very assertive and doesn’t take shit, unlike her mother. Sadly, since the 2013 economic crisis - followed by a few right-wing governments, I might add - all the social progress that the movie represents has been, somewhat, lost. The movie is reminiscent of a time were Brazilian (and Brazilian cinema specially) we’re very optimistic about the future. Sadly thats not the case anymore.
I was once Jessica. My mother worked in a middle-class house and we lived in a small room. I was 5 years old and they treated me very well, they gave me clothes, books, they taught me French, they took me to the mall. I thought my mother didn't know how to say thank you but today I understand 100% and I identify a lot with this film because after I grew up I discovered that they deducted everything from my mother's salary, and I'm only 24 years old (this is recent, it still happens)... This “almost family” caused many people to experience situations similar to slavery. Even today in Brazil there are rescues of black women who lived their lives to serve their family, without education, without salary, using separate dishes and are even “given as gifts” to other family members, as objects. Unfortunately, it is the legacy that 300 years of slavery left us.
Funfact: when Fabinho shows some beaches in Austrália, Val say "great, looks Recife (her hometown)" And the name of movie in portuguese is: Que horas ela volta? (When does she came back?) Showing the view of Jéssica wating for his mom
Not only Jessica's vision, but Fabinho's own, who at the beginning of the film asks Val: "Que horas ela volta?" and throughout the film, we also see the distance between him and his mother, since his mother figure was Val.
For Brazilians, this film has much tension, which comes from the social tension represented in it. You see, a maid asking something for their bosses is inconceivable, so the moment Val asks something, we're worried she is gonna be fired. Even when they show courtesy, as she explains, you deny it. It's for their own ego to feel like good people, but what they really expect from you is efficiency. Jéssica is not foul-mouthed or desrespectful, she is just conscious of her class, and knowing that doesn't care for the rich. Her mother isn't conscious, but feel it in her skin. She saying that you know right and wrong from your birth shows how unaware she is of class tensions. Anyway, thing like calling the bosses Doctor (Doutor), when he even isn't a real doctor, and Miss (Dona) is aheritage of colonialism and slavery, where the slaves would call their owners Colonel or Sir (Sinhô) and Miss (Sinhá). When the rich mother says they had to clean the pool because a rat was swimming in it, Jéssica is the rat not because she is desrespectful (what's so desrespectful about swimming in a pool?) or irritating, buy because they see her as less than a person.
cara, que ótimo ver um comentário como o seu, fico estarrecido de ver comentários de gente rasa o suficiente para entender o personagem de Jéssica como simplesmente ingrata ou superficial, imagine essas pessoas em cargos de poder como juízes, delegados, gestores públicos etc... é a realidade e quando paramos para pensar é assustador!
This movie is so beautiful in many ways. In Brazil, the majority of women are "Vals" who can't really spend the time they should with their family because they're stuck in this system where they need to work many hours a day to earn the bare minimum to survive and raise their kids. But at the end seeing this cycle breaking and realizing that, unlike Jessica, her son will grow up with her by his side is heartwarming ❤🐕
Quick history class by someone who's not a history teacher: Here in Brazil we have many regional states and some generations back, a huge migration movement happened because people from rich states wanted to build the country on the back of people from what were poor states back then. Because of this, many workers came down from the north in search of a new life or make the life of those they left behind better; This migration continued up to some decades now. So Val would be one of those people who needed to provide for her family by sacrificing herself. And it's very common to say that someone like Val is "like she's from my family" while her own family is without her very esteemed care. São Paulo, richest state of Latin America was built on these people's hard work and sacrifice and up to this day there's such a grotesque xenophobic spectrum to them where some still act like they don't belong when the essence of this city has their DNA, blood and hard work.
Just to add some flavor. We were one of the countries with the biggest number of enslaved people from the atlantic trafic. So, it was common for the white ladies to have domestic slaves that would care for the children and the house. when the slavery ended so did the domestic slavery, yet, the tradition of having someone taking care of children and house stayed. Here in Brazil by paying something like $500 you can have someone to do the house chores that live in a separated house in the property, and this is a direct heritage of our colonial and slavery past.
Me emocionei novamente assistindo esse filme com você!😭 Gostaria de indicar um filme chamado Bicho de sete cabeças, protagonizado pelo Rodrigo Santoro. Tenho certeza que você vai se emocionar com esse drama!
I love this movie my mom also worked for people like this before and they expect me to serve them as much as my mom even though I don't work for them I relate to the daughter so much
Eu recomendei esse pra ele! Não sei se ele viu, mas que bom que ele viu seu comentário. Esse filme é uma graça, e mostra outros lados do nosso cinema: o das sutilezas.
I was obsessed. I spent 80% of my time asking him to react to "Minha Mãe É uma Peça" and in the other 20% I was hoping someone would talk about it so I could talk some more.
A movie that nobody is talking here, but for me is a cinema class is "Reflexões de um liquidificador". Basically the movie is narrated by a blender, a very unusual way to tell a story. Also I must say that Selton Melo (already knew here) makes the blender voice
To fully understand this film I suggest reading a book called "Casa Grande e Senzala" - from Gilberto Freyre, which talks about this relationship between Brazilian domestic work and employers

That's great that you were able to understand the nuances of the film. This movie presents many real characteristics of Brazilian society. As for Bacurau, I believe it will be more challenging to grasp the deeper meaning, but you should enjoy it.
I'm so, SO GLAD you took this suggestion! I was sure you would love it. This movie has, indeed, that slow pace dramas often have - but I guess it is also a good thing to "storage" wondering while seeing it. The lack of music and big events on the first two thirds makes room for reflection and to notice this is a multilayered plot. I see you got it pretty well! One of most defying things is that we need to enter culture and social nuances here - but, as american society was also historically and culturally based on slavery, we face sometimes the same questions with few differences; then we can meet common ground much easier. For instance, it is very subtle, tho, and proper to latin societies to connect with much more affection then europeans and americans in general. This can drive us to situations like Val's life, which is "part of the family" for most of the time, in the surface, but never a "second mother" in proper manners. She is only a SECONDARY mother to Fabinho, a second class mother.
⚠🚨 [SPOILER ALERT!!/] Did you notice when she was finally called "mom" for the first time? When she's about to bring her grandson, in the end scene. This is when Val really can be a second mother, with all it implies, despite the fact she was never able to raise her own daughter. (Just... beautiful!) Early on, Jessica seems a little bit despicable and off since the beginning, I was also having this (sign of a good performance from the actress - btw from all the main characters and the family members' cast too). But soon we understand she has being endured by life for the absence of her own mother, while Fabinho was having two. This privilege/ineaquality is a perverse logic that our societies mantain, sadly. And later, we know that Jessica also is a mother, a second one in her lineage, and need the attention from Val. Remember that she questioned why her mother sleeps in bosses house? This was not judging Val, but their bosses and their relation instead: "Val is family, but not enough to have dignity" - and "worked for them 20 years and still haven't enough money to by herself a house"... I think when a movie is based in real stories, the character development my be little do to previous knowledge - but here, this is based on REAL HISTORY: these are pretty common conditions on Brazil, and it's in a historically slavery-based society, I insist. This is why Jessica success to enter College broke the fate of being, herself, a lifetime nanny-day laborer-cook-second mother-enslaved-ish worker. This was really possible in Brazil only in last twenty years, when a progressive government brought public policies to expand educational access for the poor - which has been questioned for few good band many, many wrong points too - as the rich family depics very properly in the movie. There's also generation and political issues that matters, here, but unfortunately it have being disputed in retoricall standards that would bring here many vicious discussions ideologically biased. Not worth it... And also: I'm sorry, I'm already very verborragic here... hope I had bring anything valuable, tho.[/SPOILER] ⚠🚨
hi, i'm brazilian and i'm really glad you liked this movie, it's one of my favorites!! another one i would like to recommend is The Way He Looks (2014).
the fater, he is not a doctor at all, e a painter, val calls him Dr. cus here in brasil rich people just insists on being called doctor by people that are not in their social status
Brazilians will fight and argue about this movie in your comments, that's innevitable with a movie like that. But, truth be told, a hard hurtfull truth: That's absolutely the reallity of Brasil, the cicle, the mother that left the daughter, that left the son... It is a happy ending movie, but this kind of relationship is pretty common in Brazil, even today. Whoever tells you differently, is lying, or trying to say something is better than it actually is. Work relashionships in Brazil are rough, domestic work is even harder because... Well you watched the movie... This happens, in many higher class househouds in the southern regions. For me, as a brazilian, watching this movie hurts a lot...
REALLY glad you finally got to see this movie. It's really hard to rank things, but this is, no placemente needed, one of my favorite movies ever. Went to see it in theaters once and then just took other friends to see it again at least twice. There has always been classism here in Brasil, heritage from our long history of colonization and slavery, and it wasn't (isn't, even?) rare to see middle to high class families treating poorer people (and, as some people pointed here already, people from the northeastern region, like Val an Jéssica, historically poorer and commonly migrating to the southeastern region to work) as a "servant class". But specially starting at the early 2000's a lot of social programs were developed to try and level the field, not only economically but specially starting at education access. That's why college access, historically an elite thing (and decided by a famously challenging entry exam), started to be more democratic, and some elite people didn't really take kindly to this kind of social equity process. And I just think Jéssica embodies all of this history/sociology class so perfectly, definetely one of my favorite, most badass, movie characters ever! I'm also really excited that you're watching Bacurau next, a different kind of movie altogether, but with some fun surprises after watchinhg this one, and A LOT to take in a deeper reading. Keep up the great content, let's gooo Team Maggie!!! 🐕
a list of brazilian movies that i recommend: - eles não usam black-tie - lisbela e o prisioneiro - tropicalia (it's a documentary but it's very good to understand the brazil's history and music scenario during late 60's and early 70's) - cabra marcado pra morrer - elena (documentary too) - bicho de sete cabeças - lobo atrás da porta - limite - o animal cordial
As a Brazilian, my taste in Brazilian movies isn't typical. 😄 So, I'm going to share some of my favorites, and maybe you'll like them too, because I can relate to all of your comments. Haha Here's my list of movies, divided by directors: Mango Yellow - Cláudio Assis Rat Fever - Cláudio Assis Tattoo - Hilton Lacerda Neighbouring Sounds - Kléber Mendonça Filho Aquarius - Kléber Mendonça Filho Bacurau - Kléber Mendonça Filho The Famous and the Dead - Esmir Filho (I really love this one, it's one of my favorites, and it's underrated) Classics: All films of my favorite director, Glauber Rocha: Black God, White Devil (1964) Terra em Transe (1967) The Age of Earth (1980)
Great choose for today! I like the way you see between the lines of the story. The actress Regina Casé (Val) is very known as a comedian also, she is memorable in every genre. One more recomendation to your movie pool: "Nine Days" (2020), from director Edson Oda. It's a brazilian drama production with an international cast. Reeeaaaally beautiful!!!
6:52 Here in Brazil, especially in poorer regions, it is common for people to end up leaving their families or children with close people to be able to look for work or better living conditions elsewhere, sending only money. It's sad, but this film portrays the reality of many domestic workers
I'm so glad you loved this movie, I adore it too! If you want another recommendation for a Brazilian movie with similar themes and style, I suggest Loveling / Benzinho. The rich mother from Que Horas Ela Volta plays the opposite character in Benzinho (a lower middle class mother). Que Horas Ela Volta was more memorable for me, but Benzinho is also a very emotional and moving film. Another recommendation is Marte Um / Mars One from last year. Another quiet drama about family with strong characters.
Brazil has a creepy relationship with domestic workers, many social remnants of the slavery period, this film looks directly at these people but with tenderness, so beautiful! 💦🦮 I wanted to suggest another Brazilian treat, Good Manners, it has a fantasy thriller vibe, but strangely has a similar message to this one!
Brazil knows how to make good films, we have our uniqueness, we have our warm and smart way of seeing life. The world should see us better, not everything is about special effects, here we talk from the heart. 🇧🇷
I cried in the theaters when I first watched this years ago and I cried again now with you. Thanks for reminding how beautiful this movie is, and what you said is a fact, it's simple but everytime you think about it, you find new meanings. The Cinematography is amazing, as they usually just show the kitchen and the door to the rest of the hows as in a frame picture, you're confined with Val in her life. Unfortunately this movie is so so real, Val represents so many brazilian women who still lives in this slavery heritage culture. Thanks for sharing!
Hi Mado! I love your reaction videos. You really convey very captivating emotions and analysis about everything you watch, and make your videos truly wonderful. Congratulations! Perhaps you have already watched these films (or part of them) but if you haven't, I leave you with some varied recommendations: ● Thelma & Louise (1991) ● Cloud atlas (2012) ● Crash (2004) ● 12 Years a Slave (2013) ● Soldier's Girl (2003) ● La délicatesse (2011) A big hug from Brazil and much success always! 💕💐
Thank you for this reaction, that's what I was waiting for ❤. Your reaction was the way I thought it should be 😊 Val's smile at the end when Jessica calls her "mother" was so soft and warmy
I love this movie, thanks for the reaction!! Have you seen the korean movie Parasite? If you haven't watched it yet, I recommend that you react this movie is amazing.
Similar story... My mom rised me by herself, she was also a maid and we lived at her employers house. This movie hits faaar too close to home hahahahah I became and engineers in a free state university (UEM) Her employers were good people, the will never forget what he taught me "Você será um homem grande, não apenas em estatura"
React “2 filhos de Francisco” Conta a real história de uma das duplas sertanejas mais famoso do Brasil “Luiz Gonzaga de pai pra filho” Conta real a história de um cantores mais querido do Brasil conhecido como “rei do baião” ❤😊
Another great movie watch! I love how involved with the story you get. Other brazilian movies I recommend watching and would be fun to see you reacting to: Aquarius Bacurau The Man from the Future
Oh finally, this movie is amazing, i knew you were going to like it since you've liked Central station. Now you should watch The way he looks, another very beautiful brazilian movie, a lgbt coming of age about a blind boy, its lovely
Pixote and "Durval discos". This one is from the same director of "Que horas ela volta". And is a "crazy movie", not a "emotional movie" like "Que horas ela volta"
The literal translation of the name of the movie is "What time is she back?" idk about other contries, but here in brazil that history repeat all the time, yes, the rich have this prejudice about the poor, and have a lot of harassement in work places even if you´re not workin and youre a minor, plus, she is a minor, he though that she wasnt but brazilians get into university being minors. Btw the harassement is always really stronger when you´re a minor and is usually middle aged man, when youre not a minor anymore the harassement slow down, and im not jockin about that. This history is not new, but is really good that turned into a movie so maybe people can understand, unfotunately, is really common a child ask "what time is she back?", so common that a hole country just knew at the first second that they´re talkin about their mothers, i alredy asked "what time is she back?" when i was a child too.
You should react to "Abril Despedaçado": "Behind The Sun". It's from the same direct as Central do Brasil and was nominated for a Golden Globe and a Bafta. It's really good!
Yeah, here in Brasil we can actually get to college paid by the government if we get a good score at the exams. I myself studied architecture even not having enough money for that because I passed the exam... We have lots of problems with our politics, sure, but we still have some good opportunities that many other countries don't, like free health care. It's sad that such a good country with good people suffer with organized crime and corruption, we can only imagine how great this place could be if the politicians stood for our people instead of their pockets...
Tem um filme que eu amo muito, um dos meus favoritos brasileiros, que se chama "o homem do futuro", não sei se você vai achar legendado, mas se achar assista por favor ❤

⚠🚨 [SPOILER ALERT!!/] Did you notice when she was finally called "mom" for the first time? When she's about to bring her grandson, in the end scene. This is when Val really can be a second mother, with all it implies, despite the fact she was never able to raise her own daughter. (Just... beautiful!)
Early on, Jessica seems a little bit despicable and off since the beginning, I was also having this (sign of a good performance from the actress - btw from all the main characters and the family members' cast too). But soon we understand she has being endured by life for the absence of her own mother, while Fabinho was having two. This privilege/ineaquality is a perverse logic that our societies mantain, sadly.
And later, we know that Jessica also is a mother, a second one in her lineage, and need the attention from Val. Remember that she questioned why her mother sleeps in bosses house? This was not judging Val, but their bosses and their relation instead: "Val is family, but not enough to have dignity" - and "worked for them 20 years and still haven't enough money to by herself a house"...
I think when a movie is based in real stories, the character development my be little do to previous knowledge - but here, this is based on REAL HISTORY: these are pretty common conditions on Brazil, and it's in a historically slavery-based society, I insist.
This is why Jessica success to enter College broke the fate of being, herself, a lifetime nanny-day laborer-cook-second mother-enslaved-ish worker. This was really possible in Brazil only in last twenty years, when a progressive government brought public policies to expand educational access for the poor - which has been questioned for few good band many, many wrong points too - as the rich family depics very properly in the movie.
There's also generation and political issues that matters, here, but unfortunately it have being disputed in retoricall standards that would bring here many vicious discussions ideologically biased. Not worth it...
And also: I'm sorry, I'm already very verborragic here... hope I had bring anything valuable, tho.[/SPOILER] ⚠🚨
This is my favorite movie ever. I cry every time like it was the first. You should watch "Medida provisória" and "Marighella"
hi, i'm brazilian and i'm really glad you liked this movie, it's one of my favorites!! another one i would like to recommend is The Way He Looks (2014).
the fater, he is not a doctor at all, e a painter, val calls him Dr. cus here in brasil rich people just insists on being called doctor by people that are not in their social status
Brazilians will fight and argue about this movie in your comments, that's innevitable with a movie like that. But, truth be told, a hard hurtfull truth: That's absolutely the reallity of Brasil, the cicle, the mother that left the daughter, that left the son... It is a happy ending movie, but this kind of relationship is pretty common in Brazil, even today. Whoever tells you differently, is lying, or trying to say something is better than it actually is. Work relashionships in Brazil are rough, domestic work is even harder because... Well you watched the movie... This happens, in many higher class househouds in the southern regions. For me, as a brazilian, watching this movie hurts a lot...
otimo ver pessoas reagindo a estas grandes obras brasileira. ganhou fã
REALLY glad you finally got to see this movie. It's really hard to rank things, but this is, no placemente needed, one of my favorite movies ever. Went to see it in theaters once and then just took other friends to see it again at least twice. There has always been classism here in Brasil, heritage from our long history of colonization and slavery, and it wasn't (isn't, even?) rare to see middle to high class families treating poorer people (and, as some people pointed here already, people from the northeastern region, like Val an Jéssica, historically poorer and commonly migrating to the southeastern region to work) as a "servant class". But specially starting at the early 2000's a lot of social programs were developed to try and level the field, not only economically but specially starting at education access. That's why college access, historically an elite thing (and decided by a famously challenging entry exam), started to be more democratic, and some elite people didn't really take kindly to this kind of social equity process. And I just think Jéssica embodies all of this history/sociology class so perfectly, definetely one of my favorite, most badass, movie characters ever!
I'm also really excited that you're watching Bacurau next, a different kind of movie altogether, but with some fun surprises after watchinhg this one, and A LOT to take in a deeper reading. Keep up the great content, let's gooo Team Maggie!!! 🐕
Nice comments!
a list of brazilian movies that i recommend:
- eles não usam black-tie
- lisbela e o prisioneiro
- tropicalia (it's a documentary but it's very good to understand the brazil's history and music scenario during late 60's and early 70's)
- cabra marcado pra morrer
- elena (documentary too)
- bicho de sete cabeças
- lobo atrás da porta
- limite
- o animal cordial
- terra em transe
- olga
- bacurau
- o bandido da luz vermelha
As a Brazilian, my taste in Brazilian movies isn't typical. 😄 So, I'm going to share some of my favorites, and maybe you'll like them too, because I can relate to all of your comments. Haha Here's my list of movies, divided by directors:
Mango Yellow - Cláudio Assis
Rat Fever - Cláudio Assis
Tattoo - Hilton Lacerda
Neighbouring Sounds - Kléber Mendonça Filho
Aquarius - Kléber Mendonça Filho
Bacurau - Kléber Mendonça Filho
The Famous and the Dead - Esmir Filho (I really love this one, it's one of my favorites, and it's underrated)
Classics:
All films of my favorite director, Glauber Rocha:
Black God, White Devil (1964)
Terra em Transe (1967)
The Age of Earth (1980)
I love this movie 🥺🥺🥺🥺
I love this moviee❤
Great movie to react. Good choice.
Great choose for today! I like the way you see between the lines of the story. The actress Regina Casé (Val) is very known as a comedian also, she is memorable in every genre.
One more recomendation to your movie pool: "Nine Days" (2020), from director Edson Oda. It's a brazilian drama production with an international cast. Reeeaaaally beautiful!!!
Regina Casé also star in Eu, Tu, Eles, by Andrucha Waddington
This movie is soooo good omg
try watching " Estomago" its one of the best brazillian movies ever made
6:52 Here in Brazil, especially in poorer regions, it is common for people to end up leaving their families or children with close people to be able to look for work or better living conditions elsewhere, sending only money. It's sad, but this film portrays the reality of many domestic workers
"If the cleaning lady becomes a doctor, the doctor is left without a cleaning lady"
Amo amo demais! ❤❤❤❤
This movie is SOOOO GOOD!!! ❤
I'm so glad you loved this movie, I adore it too! If you want another recommendation for a Brazilian movie with similar themes and style, I suggest Loveling / Benzinho. The rich mother from Que Horas Ela Volta plays the opposite character in Benzinho (a lower middle class mother). Que Horas Ela Volta was more memorable for me, but Benzinho is also a very emotional and moving film.
Another recommendation is Marte Um / Mars One from last year. Another quiet drama about family with strong characters.
Marte Um ❤️👍
Minha Mãe É Uma Peça, PLEASEEEEEEE ❤❤❤❤
Você TEM que assistir Abril Despedaçado (Behind the Sun), é do mesmo diretor de Central do Brasil
Brazil has a creepy relationship with domestic workers, many social remnants of the slavery period, this film looks directly at these people but with tenderness, so beautiful! 💦🦮
I wanted to suggest another Brazilian treat, Good Manners, it has a fantasy thriller vibe, but strangely has a similar message to this one!
real one 🔥
Brazil knows how to make good films, we have our uniqueness, we have our warm and smart way of seeing life. The world should see us better, not everything is about special effects, here we talk from the heart. 🇧🇷
I cried in the theaters when I first watched this years ago and I cried again now with you. Thanks for reminding how beautiful this movie is, and what you said is a fact, it's simple but everytime you think about it, you find new meanings. The Cinematography is amazing, as they usually just show the kitchen and the door to the rest of the hows as in a frame picture, you're confined with Val in her life. Unfortunately this movie is so so real, Val represents so many brazilian women who still lives in this slavery heritage culture. Thanks for sharing!
💛💚💙
This movie is about a very (very, very, very) conplicated thing in Brazil: the legacy of slavery in the social structure...
Im smiling cuz he is smiling appreciating our art
❤️❤️
I love your reactions and how you get the minimum details of the movies 💕
yay one of my favorites brazilian movies! thanks for the reaction!

Val's smile at the end when Jessica calls her "mother" was so soft and warmy
I love this movie, thanks for the reaction!!
Have you seen the korean movie Parasite? If you haven't watched it yet, I recommend that you react this movie is amazing.

I became and engineers in a free state university (UEM)
Her employers were good people, the will never forget what he taught me "Você será um homem grande, não apenas em estatura"
Love this movie and loved your reaction to it 🦮
Regina Casé really shone in this role!

You got to watch “Foreign Land”. Is the same director of Central Station
Por favor, reage 'MINHA MÃE É UMA PEÇA' obra do incrível Paulo Gustavo, que infelizmente faleceu de COVID :/
Bingo - O Rei das Manhãs 2017
I cry everytime the mother call her daughter from the swimming pool 😢😢😢
Thanx for follow my sugestions! Your reaction made me emotional again... I strongly recomend BICHO DE SETE CABEÇAS ♒♒♒
Eu gosto muito do Chega de Saudade, também da Laís Bodanzky.
Mado tem mostrado apreço pela música brasileira.
React “2 filhos de Francisco” Conta a real história de uma das duplas sertanejas mais famoso do Brasil
“Luiz Gonzaga de pai pra filho” Conta real a história de um cantores mais querido do Brasil conhecido como “rei do baião”
❤😊
AAAAAA EU AMO ESSE FILMEEE
Im so glad to see your reaction to this movie!!! We (Brazilians) were so sad that this movie didn’t run to the orcars!!!
Oscars*
Another great movie watch! I love how involved with the story you get. Other brazilian movies I recommend watching and would be fun to see you reacting to:
Aquarius
Bacurau
The Man from the Future
actualy "The second Mother" make more sense then original title "Que horas ela volta?" (What time does she come back?)
Oh finally, this movie is amazing, i knew you were going to like it since you've liked Central station. Now you should watch The way he looks, another very beautiful brazilian movie, a lgbt coming of age about a blind boy, its lovely
Essa atriz, a que faz a mãe do Fabinho me lembrou de Bacurau, você tem que assistir Bacurau pra odiar ela ainda mais kkkkkkkk
Melhor filme
BR ❤
🥰
Aaaaaaaaaa this ending is just perfetc, i love this movie
Meu filme favorito 💛💛👏🏽 10/10
Watching "Um ano enesquecivel inverno" And "Tudo bem no natal que vem"
Vc tem que assistir ao filme "Meu pé de laranja lima", muito bom também.
Pixote and "Durval discos". This one is from the same director of "Que horas ela volta". And is a "crazy movie", not a "emotional movie" like "Que horas ela volta"
The Way He looks next please
Here we are to watch out your great react
❤❤❤
I was obsessed with this movie... I must have watched 18 times and remember almost all the lines lol
If you like this actress, see also "Eu, Tu Eles". 🤩
this movie is so good! and this is so real!
The literal translation of the name of the movie is "What time is she back?" idk about other contries, but here in brazil that history repeat all the time, yes, the rich have this prejudice about the poor, and have a lot of harassement in work places even if you´re not workin and youre a minor, plus, she is a minor, he though that she wasnt but brazilians get into university being minors. Btw the harassement is always really stronger when you´re a minor and is usually middle aged man, when youre not a minor anymore the harassement slow down, and im not jockin about that. This history is not new, but is really good that turned into a movie so maybe people can understand, unfotunately, is really common a child ask "what time is she back?", so common that a hole country just knew at the first second that they´re talkin about their mothers, i alredy asked "what time is she back?" when i was a child too.
the way he looks (2014)
I strongly suggest you to react to Bacurau. I don't know if it has another tittle in English!
I need to see you reacting to "Minha mãe é uma peça"
Muito bom 😍
I love that movie 😭😭🐕
real one 🔥
A gnt adora fzr gringo famoso😂❤
🐶 next one should be Bacirau :)
real one 🔥
React to "Marte Um" is this type of movie, and is AMAZING
Ninguém recomendou Marte Um ainda.....
UP
UP
UP
Simmmm, como é possível isso?! @@franciscoamorim2077
Brazilian Portuguese is very complex and poetic, if you watched it knowing the cultural context of each scene is truly tear-jerking.
You should react to "Abril Despedaçado": "Behind The Sun". It's from the same direct as Central do Brasil and was nominated for a Golden Globe and a Bafta. It's really good!
O proximo da lista tem de ser bacural. 🙌🏾
Yeah, here in Brasil we can actually get to college paid by the government if we get a good score at the exams. I myself studied architecture even not having enough money for that because I passed the exam... We have lots of problems with our politics, sure, but we still have some good opportunities that many other countries don't, like free health care. It's sad that such a good country with good people suffer with organized crime and corruption, we can only imagine how great this place could be if the politicians stood for our people instead of their pockets...
Tem um filme que eu amo muito, um dos meus favoritos brasileiros, que se chama "o homem do futuro", não sei se você vai achar legendado, mas se achar assista por favor ❤
you NEED to watch "The way he looks" u'll cry a lot
