Yes. It' s a great one, too.
City of God and Elite Squad 2 are wotrh seeing
Best Brasíllian movies ever
Watch “good morning Veronica”
Yes. The sequence will show Nascimento in another position. A politic position as Secretary of Security. Its another layer of Brazil's problems.
"Fun" fact: At 9:20, you can see the cop crouches before shooting the guy, he does that so it looks like he shot him at eye level, instead of executing him while he was on the ground. Masking the execution from the autopsy.
I'm brazilian and it's nice when people recognize our cinema. Also this movie can't be translated, there are thousands of slangs that wouldn't make sense for emglish speakers
Im Greek. And I love both films
Peliculón, amigo!
Yes, but when half the lines are simply missing.. That's sad.
Awful translation work.
It's sad :/
Realmente
Fun fact: this movie was recorded in a crimeless favela. It became crimeless not because of some police operation or BOPE operation. It's not in the hands of criminal organizations no more only because it's close to the BOPE headquarters, literally only because it's near the BOPE. That's how much feared the BOPE is
Not worst than American drugs. Look Califórnia. Is over.
@@MrPingoMSdid you just compare a favela in brazil to california? I think we should ship you to Complexo do Alemão. We have some ms13 but we dont have the red command doing beheading videos
Those who reaaly profit from drug dealing live in luxury condos. There, BOPE dont get into...
@@Judgedredd95they are not needed there dumb
They dont know what they saying, the most dangerous guy in the us works as a cashier in Brazil @@berserkmangareadingproject1386
Fun fact, the main character from this movie is the Voice of the Wolf from puss in boots 2, yes he does the english Voice of the Wolf.
👀
AND he plays PABLO ESCOBAR on Neflix series in spanish.
Wagner Moura GOATED
Wagner based
this movie made a huge cultural impact to this day in Brasil, you should watch the sequel as well!
He MUST watch the sequel
It’s hard to get Amazon says they have it but it’s not available. Sucks!
Wow, never thought you'd watch this movie one day. Wagner Mouras performance is out of this world in this one
Top 5 Brazilian Films
1- Um Pistoreiro Chamado Papaco
2- Tropa de Elite 1
3- Cidade de Deus
4- Tropa de Elite 2
5- Auto da Compadecida
Pra quem assistiu 5 filmes brasileiros é mesmo
Mundo cão and Meu Nome Não É Johnny are pretty good too
“Cidade de Deus” (City of God) is another “city of Devil” in Rio de Janeiro. Amazing movie too. I don’t know what shows better the lower classes crime history. The upper classes criminals we brazilians watch everyday in the politics news. 😔
Cadê o "Meu nome não é Jhonny"
Papaco é o melhor filme que eu já assisti não sei como não ganhou Oscar
I'm Brazilian and this film perfectly portrays the police and criminal culture of Rio de Janeiro (which is a culturally very different state from the rest of Brazil). Yes, violence is real and drug traffickers are extremely violent. In Brazil we have the police that kill the most in the world, but also the one that dies the most (as the violence of criminals means that the police have to be violent in return), the number of deaths in Brazil far exceeds that of several countries in war. The film also perfectly portrays the dominant culture and thinking in universities to this day. This film was made with the intention of criticizing police violence, but ended up generating empathy among the majority of the population towards honest police officers. No matter how much time passes, the film remains accurate today and has had a huge cultural impact, giving visibility to elite police groups and generating a desire among many people to become a police officer. In short, it is an extremely realistic film.
You can watch the videos on this TH-cam channel and see how drug dealers block the streets to prevent the police from arriving and see the armored vehicles that the police are forced to use. The violence of drug traffickers is extreme. www.youtube.com/@FactualRJ
Falou muito bonito
Perfeito. O objetivo do filme era destruir a imagem da policia, mas esses diretores e atores não sabem qual é a opinião da população, eles vivem trancados no PROJAC e em seus condominios. O capitão Nascimento se tornou um herói para as pessoas de bem porque ele está disposto de qualquer forma ir atrás dos traficantes
@@betovasconcellos2096 A intenção do filme não era necessariamente destruir a reputação da polícia, e sim, entregar uma realidade, e o que você acha dela, é só com você (isso está em uma das intervistas do diretor do filme)
@@subaru4567 isso é dito pelo diretor, pelo ator e outros responsáveis. Mas não temos a menor dúvida que o objetivo é fazer a polícia e o BOPE ser mais odiado pelos expectadores. Nós vemos a proteção que a mídia dá para os bandidos, principalmente a Globo. Vc não em uma manchete escrita assim, "policial mata bandido", vc vê "policial mata suspeito". Se morrem 20 bandidos eles chamam de chacina ou seja pra a mídia parece que não tem diferença entre bandido e pessoas de bem
I live in Brazil and this movie, alongside City of God, is the realest brazilian movie ever, it represents perfectly how our country is totally dominated by criminality and corruption
Rio's*
That's just you mutt perspective. I've lived here my whole life and have never seen any violence. It's a big country.
It's bad in Rio tho.
yea thanks for falsely telling them our country is one huge favela
@@cupuacu4life13 lmao,he says this and his pfp is rorschach,so you already know what type of dude he is
@@cupuacu4life13 yeah you’re right, a country where everytime you go out on the street you have to look around to see if nobody is coming to rob you and politicians only care about their own pockets isn’t dominated by crime and corruption.
"The shotgun, thank god they didnt show the face after it" I legit chuckled and said out loud "Ha what face? Shotgun at point blank? That skull probably got pulverized into red mist and chunks,
The funny thing is seeing foreigners watching this film and they don't understand the memes. 50% of the dialogue in this film became a meme and is used casually.
"já avisei que vai dá merda isso daí"
" O conceito de estratégia..."
"Pede pra sair"
"Quem manda nessa porra aqui sou eu!"
Whenever I watch the film, I remember that the actor who plays Police Officer Neto died, he was an excellent actor. He died in a serious car accident here in Rio de Janeiro. RIP Caio Junqueira.
Primate, City of God is even better, a bit more chill in a way, but also a harsh reality
i like elite squad 2 better
@@gabrielbroder2161 than city of god?? I have to disagree but I like the second one too! The politics in it…
@@carolinalins City of God is more into the drama, Elite Squad is more into the gritty action.
Man i feel sorry how the subtitles don't do any justice to what they are REALLY talking. But i know how hard it is to translate portuguese to english. But it's so good to see how this movie is still impactful, no matter your language.
the tough part is that 95% of that movie is actually just like real life
Please react to part 2!
PLEEEEEEAAASE!
up!!
Great react man, you gotta also check out Elite Squad 2, is an direct sequel of this, and is really great, some say is even better. I'm brazilian and these two movies (1 and 2) are the best brazilian movies.
up
I love that the movie was filmed right next to the actual BOPE headquarters lmao, there is no crime in there at all.
just to speak, the author of the Tropa de Elite book had to leave the country because he was threatened with death. All this because he really showed the reality of these factions.
The main character also plays Pablo Scobar in Narcos
Wagner Moura
He also plays Death in puss in boots 2
the beauty of this movie is that, its cruel, but its not apologetic. it shows both the weight, and the mental damage those people go through to do their job. and above all, this isnt a "facist" movie, because it shows both the good, and the bad.
the fact they huntdown and hurt innocents, just because they are close to the crimminals, is not treated as a good thing, on the contrary, it put nascimento, at odds with his second in command.
but at that point, he NEEDED to go full on brutal to ensure that his followup is baptized in fire and ready to lead his team without caring for the consequences.
it also shows that, while the criminals are a massive issue, both the society itself as well as the corruption of the police is why this hydra will never die, as they always feeding it so it can grow back stronger.
this is probably the best depiction of a flawled police. and in many ways, i would argue that it did a better job at both setting the tone, and everything that surrounds the characters, than shows like the shield or even the wire.
the ending shot in particular, is not a triumphant "kill the big evil guy and win" its a cruel hunt, to takedown someone regardless of the sacrifices made along the way, and it ends with the new capitain, refusing the most humane begging from someone who had already accepted death, and pose no threat.
but it was a shot that needed to be taken in the way it was, to prove that at that point, mathias was no longer the ideologist he was at the beginning. he had shed his humanity aside, and became someone nascimento could trust to carry his troop moving foward, as he steps down from his hole of leadership.
In Netflix, Wagner Moura was Pablo Escobar. Now he is Civil War.
One of the best films made in Brazil 🇧🇷
It seems that everyone who reacts to this film feels sorry for the tortured boy at the end because they don't realize that he was pointing the gun at Maria and carelessly let her escape, otherwise she would also be dead, that is, he was a criminal too. He wasn't a poor thing, but someone who would kill any good person if it was convenient for him. sorry if there are errors in English, I used the translator
The last line from the commander was epic! The moment he knew he had found his replacement.
that guy who burns to death inside his tires 14:08 in Brazil this type of death is called "microodas" or "microwave" in english
Sad fact: Caio Junqueira, the actor who played soldier Neto died in a car accident in 2019.
City of God bro
15:02 they always know 😅😅
I'm from RJ, but I can't say whether this is exaggerated or not, as I live in an upscale area . From what I've heard, this is what really happens in these areas. I love your videos man.
Thanks!
You're probably an rich condo kid bro, come to live in the favela in rio and you will see for yourself the daily adrenaline.
@@Gusr404 I'm 17 years old, I've lived in Ipanema my whole life and I don't want to move to Jacarezinho.
I woke up to gunshots 5 am 2 days ago bro.. This is far from exaggerated xD
@@TojiFushigur0 Deve ser muito difícil viver assim.
Brazil is not for amateurs. The system is crazy!
Most definitely, man. I'm Brazilian and, as it is said in the movie: "O sistema é foda".
The vast majority of brazillians live outside of drug/militia controlled areas. But for those that live in such communities, specially in Rio, the movie is very realistic. City of God shows the opposite viewpoint from people inside these communities. But even in those violent zones, the majority of people are working class citizens trying to make an honest living. And there is this point, the drugs are distributed in the Favela, they came from somewhere else and are sold to rich people. Both ends, rich users and suppliers, are seldom touched by police.
This film is unfortunately all real, and the act of burning the person on the tires here they call microwaves....
The actor who plays Neto, Caio Junqueira, died in 2019 in a car crash.
To me, as one of your brazilian subscribers this movie is amongst the best brazilian movies ever made (the sequel to this one being even better imo), and Wagner Moura (Captain Nascimento) being my favorite brazilian actor aswell, but I hope one day you get to react to "The Rogue's Trial", my personal favorite brazilian movie ever, this one being a comedy movie with a deeper message behind it, you'll love it 😊
Falou tudo ❤❤❤ na sequência assita Tropa de Elite 2 show! Que pena que os milicianos interromperam o terceiro filme da série, ele retrata a corrupção no Brasil. ELENCO DE RESPEITO ❤❤❤
This movie got the whole country talking about it, bc its a big country yk… Its a reality that few live, this got ppl hating or admiring the police in those operations but its hard to trust police in those places especially if you are black… but its a great movie that shows other the sides of the story, the actor is our beloved Wagner and he is just amazing and a lovely man
nesse video em questão, tudo leva a crer que os caras do bope nao se confundiram, pq no video dá pra ver claramente o cara do bope levantando a arma antes dos policiais dispararem neles, aí o outro do bope se abaixa e atira de volta, até pq nao podia deixar a policia se aproximar, pq correriam mais perigo. So não da pra saber se a policia fez isso propositalmente pra executar os caras do bope "por engano", ou pq é mal preparada e achou que fosse bandido.
Watch the part 2 !! Great reaction
The level of corruption in here is sadly so deep, I dont think theres a way to go back to "normal". Not only in Rio, the entire country. Rio's situation is just magnified because its one of the most (if not the most) known brazilian cities in the world. The thing is, the brazilian people is so tired of it and the problems that comes with it, they actually embrace this ultimate type of solution, like killing the drug dealers instead of arresting them, etc. Its a no win situation. Never ending cycle, pretty much. I'll give you one example: the organized crime got to the point of bribing former BOPE soldiers and military guys to teach them stuff they learn in the especialized courses. They had to move some of the most especialized marine courses to a different estate, away from Rio, so thugs would have a harder time getting their hands in the information teached there. It's actually insane. Even former BOPE soldiers are getting involved in the killing of important figures like State Representatives, etc. It's sad. I hope you watch the 2nd movie. Great reaction. Cheers.
normal couple of months in rio
I also highly recommend A Dog’s Will, to me it’s the best Brazilian movie ever made and one of the best comedies in the world.
I would suggest "O Auto da Compadecida" a comedy from Brazil equivalent of "western" times.
City of God is like a prelude to all of this. Perfect movie also.
if you haven't you should really watch City of God, another great Brazilian movie, probably the best one
Now watch the sequel! It’s even better!!!
Just for you to know, all the executions in the movie (like the burning one) are based in real life executions used by the rio crime lords.....
Other recommendations: Elite Squad 2, City of God, Carandiru.
Best movie 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
See also ELITE SQUAD 2, it's really crazy too!!
Watching Elite Squad 2 man, is great too
That scene with the tires on fire, that method of ending someone is called "the microwave"
❤❤❤❤❤❤ amo esse filme
🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
Your reaction was the same as mine in the end of the movie in 2007 when I saw this movie in a Theater for the first time in Brazil !! ... People were silent and nobody stood up to leave ... some were holding like their heads too ... BRUTAL FREAKING GREAT MOVIE !!😅😅😅
Part 2 man, let’s goooo!
Cortou a melhor cena, que é do Nascimento descobrindo que é o fornecedor. 4:50
Fomos invocados novamente, quem es?
Finally!🎉😂 pls react to part 2 as well
Nice! This movie is so good even with the limited translations. (It can't translate any of the slangs and terms)
People here in Brazil completely missed the point when this movie came out (including me). It's a great movie though.
This Actor is Wagner Moura , he is actor Movie Civil War ….
And pablo escobar
@@joaomatheusamorim7674 and Elysium too
Esse filme é patrimônio nosso.
Please react to 2 Filhos de Francisco, it is a true story and I assure you that you will not forget it after watching it.

Vi muito gringo dizendo que a violência desse filme era exagerada... Infelizmente essa é a verdade aqui no Brasil, não só no Rio de Janeiro outros lugares também são assombrosos
Só para vcs saberem, o presidente na época não deixou esse filme ir para o Oscar, pois iria mostrar o que ele tenta esconder...
😂😂😂😂😂😂. Eesa fake é do mesmo nível da pepsi-cola adoçada com célula de fetos abortados.
I'm from Brazil and I've been subbed to your channel for a very long time. Seeing you react to one of the best brazillian movies of all time (to me one of the best movies ever) was a nice surprise. Cheers man
that Tires in flames scene. It´s called Microwave oven in slums. The crime organization use that to make literally a person desappear. It burns even the bones resting nothing about the person "coocked"
Na cara não, Chefe!
Esse filme foi censurado no Brasil e nunca deveria ter sido visto por ninguem, porem assim que a censura comeu solta pegaram o vídeo e soltaram na internet. Brasil não é para amadores.
Why wasn't this movie nominated for an Oscar as best international .?
"Hell" de Janeiro. BTW : (5:06) - Reality: "Fuck your drug dealer son !"
I don’t know if you take TH-cam recommendations but I’d love to see a reaction to the 2009 film Brothers with Jake Gyllenhaal and Toby Maguire
I’ll keep it in mind!
Yes, thats how you end criminal activities.
Os melhores filmes brasileiros tropa de elite, react a tropa de elite 2
Should watch the Part 2
Now you must watch part two!
Queres saber uma curiosidade engraçada caro companheiro gringo!?!: A intenção dos produtores do filme era para que o capitão Nascimento seja o vilão da história, porém todos os que assistiram o filme viram ele como herói, logo aqui no Brasil em que durante anos, segurança pública e justiça tem sido não só negligenciado como também invertido, para tú ver como a situação aqui está decadente, é o poste urinando no cachorro.
A intenção nunca foi fazer o cap nascimento um vilão e sim o sistema acho que você não entendeu nada
Os gringos nem perdem tempo em fazer uma edição decente, só o like importa! 🤮
You need to watch Elite Squad 2, is the best!
Rio is a hell and Lisbon is close
Great video, man. I'd recommend you to watch City of God and Carandiru as well.
This one is great.
Th second one is way better!
Tem o TROPA DE ELITE 2😅
5min15sec It is difficult to explain to a foreigner the courage of these mothers, wives and sisters of criminals in dealing with the local police.
But you know: when the police arrest one of them and take them away, the women go with them to make sure they go to the police station and don't get killed for 'resisting arrest'
Btw I just remembered something both hilarious and sad, one of these days the police and BOPE were shooting each other in a street bc they thought the others were enemies, this just goes to show how not well prepared they all are, btw no one got hurt, but just imagine if it was a civilian passing… this happens a lot in some favelas, civilians get shot and nothing happens… and this was like last week, this movie is from 2007, youd think theyve gotten better…
Fun fact, capt nascimento is the same guy that does the voice of the wolf from puss in boots 2
You look nervous 😂😂
😂
Watch Elite Squad 2, which is also very good
React to City of God 😌
You will understand better after watching the parte 2.
Its a criticism, not suport of police violence
Hiiiiiii finally some Brasil!!!!
Best brazilian movie ever.
Uma vez um policial do bope morreu em uma operação na favela do jacarezinho com um tiro na testa, no dia seguinte o bope fez uma chacina na favela e matou mais de 25 traficantes o bagulho e de verdade
Watch Elite Squad 2... its crazy too.
Waiting for Elite Squad 2 now
Please watch the 2nd one. Much more political, but its so good
React to the part 2 of this movie...
Bro you need watch Cidade de Deus/ City of God
Reality of Rio and São Paulo, not Brazil. I live in the south of Brazil where crime rates are very low, like in Europe. I've been following your channel since the beginning, I love it
I am from Rio. The city is even worse right now. I am glad I left the country in 2004. And foreigners have no clue what crime really is. Worse than that only Africa and even then it depends where.
Watch the Butler
