Brazilian Movie: Divã

Recently I saw a Brazilian movie called "Divã", it was great. This story is about a woman in her 40's in crisis in her marriage. She is bored with the same thing day by day, the same routine with her husband and sons.

On day she decided to see a psychologist and do analysis for self-knowledge. During the film she met a guy who gave her some hope to feel attractive and sexy. She didn't feel like that with her husband.

She tried other relationship during and after her marriage. She had a lot of fun, she felt beautiful and powerful with other men, and she suffered too. She discovered a lot about herself and about her choices.

More and more, I get impressed with Brazilian movies, about their qualities and great stories. I'm very proud to be Brazilian and see this evolution in the cinema.

Movie: Slumdog Millionaire

The 2008 Best Picture Oscar winner was an Indian production and it is very impressive! When I saw this film I felt very annoyed, because it is a strong movie with a lot of scenes of violence and injustice.

It seemed like a Brazilian movie called "Cidade de Deus". It shows how life is in the real world with no make up.

"Who wants to be a millionaire" is a story about an Indian man who goes on to a gameshow to win a million dollars. He needs to answer questions correctly the questions about culture, politics, popstars and knowledge in general.

The movie starts when he has already won one million of rupees and he is accused of fraud because he is a poor guy who has lived al his life in a slum. Now he is the "tea guy" who works in a call center. In the show producers program's mind it is impossible for this guy to answer all the questions correctly.

Due to this fact he was sent to jail and suffered torture. The producer and the police assumed he was cheating, but he wasn't! The most interesting part of the filme is that he knows the answers, because he has experienced situations that remind him the answers. For example: when he was asked who was the composer of sophisticated music, he remembered when he was arrested the bad guy ordered him and other children to sing a song from this composer. So, he knew the answer!

Slumdog is also a story about love, conflict, treachery and hope. So, it is a grat movie!
