Fernanda Torres has a wonderful carrer in Brazil making comedy. She's so funny even on serious interviews, like the ones about I'm Still Here. The author of the book "I'm still here" is Marcelo Rubens Paiva, the little son in the movie, he is a very known writer in Brazil because his first book "Happy Old Year" where he tells the history of the accident that put him in a wheelchair when he was 20. Every teenager in Brazil on 90s read this book.
@@thedylpicklemovienetwork She is incredibly funny, you should check her comic roles, she nails it every time. I wish her work was more available worldwide, because she has built a beautiful career making us laugh (and cry), but the world just cannot see it. At least she has been recognised right now.
great review, just wanted to mention(which I think is very relevant) that the script was based on a real story of a family close to Walter Salles. This means that if the movie isnt a thriller is because their life was not a thriller, if it doesnt end in a high point is because the real life ending wasnt a high point, etc. It is a film about real life made by an expert documentarist, and with the specific aim of telling the story of the family to make the country remember what the dictatorship did to real, regular people (instead of a glorified version of history only told through the stories of “great men”). And most of the times real life is just depressing but also inspiring and touching
@@thedylpicklemovienetwork The film is based on a book, which reports a real situation experienced by the family of Marcelo Rubens Paiva, who is the son of Rubens Braga, the man who was kidnapped from his family, arbitrarily, during the period of the military dictatorship in Brazil. Actress Fernanda Torres magnificently interprets this real and dramatic story for any family. Fernanda has a long relationship with humor, she is an actress who moves freely and very well, both in comedy and drama. His mother, Fernanda Montenegro, is an impeccable, incredible person and actress, and was nominated for an Oscar for the film "Central do Brasil". I believe that the more we see mother and daughter act, the more surprised we are, as they give their body and soul to acting. Thanks for the video.
Este filme me tocou profundamente, e me fez voltar aos meus tempos de infância/adolescência (ANOS 70). Minha família era muito semelhante aos Paiva, e na casa de praia de nossa família a trilha sonora era muito parecida com a do filme. Éramos 24 primos e vários tios e meus avós. Cantávamos, dançávamos, jogávamos baralho e bingo...Meu avô era um pequeno empresário militante do partido trabalhista, e meu tio advogado que trabalhou no Gabinete de João Goulart em Brasília, ele fumava charuto, bebida whisky e cantava Dorival Caymmi, no microfone do aparelho de som ...Depois de interrogado e fichado no DOPS, meu tio foi aconselhado a evitar manifestações políticas. Minha mãe nos orientava a não discutir estes temas com estranhos. Já no início de 80 como líder estudantil, fui a Brasília várias vezes. Orientações de minha mãe, tio e avô sobre como lutar pela abertura política e participar no movimento Diretas já, foram importantes para mim. Viver a infância e adolescência num regime autoritário, disfarçado de liberal, foi um misto de satisfação por ser jovem e ter uma família progressista, e medo constante por ter consciência dos riscos, pois na vitrola a Gal nos falava:” É preciso estar ATENTO e FORTE”, e entendíamos o seu significado. Agora com o Bolsonarismo e crescimento da extrema direita, vendo esta tentativa de golpe e de assassinato do Presidente Lula, percebo que os riscos continuam. Nunca se iludam: ‘O Preço da Liberdade é a Eterna Vigilância”.
The film is set during the far-right military dictatorship that was established in Brazil in 1964 and lasted 21 years until 1985. It was sponsored by the USA like all the military dictatorships that existed in the region at that time (Argentina, Uruguay, Chile, etc.). The USA also sponsored Operation Condor.
It bears mentioning that JFK ordered the CIA to find willing generals in the Brazilian military after democratically elected, center-left President João Goulart rejected Kennedy's request to invade Cuba during the Cuban Missile Crisis. The plan was executed during the LBJ administration 1.5-2 years later.
I met one of Eunice's daughters and went to the family's apartment a couple of times when I was a student. On one of those occasions, the family was being given yet another false report about where Rubens Paiva's body was.
The melancholy and the uneasy feeling of powerlessness is a very important part of the time in Brazilian history, the movie starts at the beginning of militar dictatorship (ditadura militar), a very strict extreme right-wing movement in Brazil (planned and endorsed by the USA at the time as a tactical maneuver to get the USSR and the "communists" away from the americas... )... Again, the melancholy and powerlessness that the movie depicted are very real feelings of people who lived and survived the dictatorship, the Brazilian ex-president Dilma Roussef was one of thousands of people who were tortured ate the time... Fernanda Torres was mostly know for her more comedic roles in romcoms in Brasil, like Os Normais and Entre Tapas & Beijos, but she surely had experience with more dramatic roles, and is a force of nature... she's Brasil's most loved nepo baby (her mother Fernanda Montenegro is a legend). I think the movie and crew did a phenomenal job, and a very respectful one too... Brazilian military dictatorship is one of the heaviest topics to tackle, and the movie did it beautifully
The Academy Awards has to appreciate non-english speaking roles in the acting category. Fernanda Torres gives so much to the performing arts in Brazil. I’m so happy for her praised in this honest film about the impacts of a repressive regime in a society. Hopefully she’ll get the honor of a nomination 💛💙💚🏆🥳🇧🇷
I loved this movie so much! I really hope he will be nominated for some Oscar categories! But the xenophobic barriers of the Oscar are very big! Hardly a non-American/European movie is indicated... let's hope...❤
Amidst a constant threat to democracy worldwide, these bastards should give the Oscar to us. And this is not for this history reparation bullshit after stealing the award from Fernanda Montenegro in 2000. This is to give a notice to these right wing authoritarian leaders that we are still here
Great review! Your comment about "every scene you get deeper into the story, but further from the truth" is actually a great parallel with what we know about the story in real life. Rubens Paiva was detained and disappeared in 1971, but the government never gave straight answers about his whereabouts. Only in 1996 they issued the death certificate, but without clarifying anything about it. We, as a country, just began to learn things about his and others assassination by the militaries in 2014/2015 with the establishment of the National Commission of Truth. But still, we don't know much about what really happened, just that he was really tortured and killed, they moved his dead body a lot trying to hide it, and it was never found. I think that even with the reopening of the investigations about his death (april 2024), we'll unfortunately never find the truth.
I am a fan do Fernanda Torres’ work. I think she can switch from comedy to drama with a strong facility. She is a renaissance’s human being, a multitalented artist: writer, producer and very cultivated in every single thing she says and does.
Fernanda Torres’ performance reminded me of Marina de Tavira’s performance in Roma. Both were phenomenal and rooting for her to get an Oscar nomination.
I hope people from Academy watch your review and go to the cinemas to watch this movie, and consider voting for them, although the language barrier. Some acting works are so good, that they can transcend the idioms. However, not all voters are open for this consideration.
For me as a Brazilian, this movie makes me angry, and anger is strength. Strength to go and fight for what it is right and good for democracy and freedom in Brazil. In these difficult and uncertain times for democracy in the world, this movie is the one entitled to win the Oscar, no one else no other film but this one.
America, f$%k yeah! Thank you, by the way, for gifting us brazilians with this wonderful REAL story. We would never be able to do it without the influence of CIA in south america, so... Thanks.
Acho que esse filme é diferente de muitos dramas que já vi. Você sente junto com os atores e principalmente com a Fernanda, eu chorei em cada cena, não um choro desesperador que muitas vezes acontece em filmes de dramas, mas um choro contínuo, como se eu conhecesse essa família, Walter conseguiu fazer com que a gente SINTA cada emoção. No final quando Fernanda Montenegro aparece e se comunica com o público apenas com o olhar, vc sente mais ainda, vc percebe cada emoção que ela transmite pelo olhar desde o início da cena e até o final, quando aparece seu marido na TV, vc sente o alívio. E por ser mãe da Fernanda Torres, tenho certeza que ela ensinou como fazer isso para Torres pq em todo filme a gente via a personagem sem derramar uma lágrima, mas era só ver os olhos que a gente sentia a emoção. Isso vai além de atuar, isso é ter uma conexão verdadeira com a personagem
Nice review(well done avoiding any spoiler)! I found I´m Still Here a really immersive and powerful experience, wonderful cinematography and directing as well (what about that reconstruction of 70s Rio de Janeiro, I felt myself there..), great acting from ALL actors, even the kids.. A rare beautiful film.
Needless to say, we are talking abou a military government in the scope of the film. Not the usual one, but what happens after the military coup done by USA in Brazil

Yeah... And Marcelo Rubens Paiva is such a great writer! I worked using one of his texts at school as a teacher once.
Great information! Yes, I appreciated how real and raw it was, especially because another filmmaker may have tried to dramaticize it more

For me Fernanda Torres has the most beautiful, sensible and incredible work of this award season
She is fantastic!

Fernanda Torres best actress
I watched it this week and I was completely touched for the beauty and softness they achieved telling a story that is so difficult and cruel.
