A frightening future

Rating: Null/10 (8 October 2004)

I saw this film recently in a film studio in a small Swedish town and noted that the makers have in a way surpassed Tarantino. I am very impressed by the cutting an visualization of the story.
It is a travel back and forth in a shifting timeline, very skillfully realized.
I'm also impressed by the young actors, who obviously are unknown local youngsters.
But it is a frightening vision of Brazil's future. The favelas are ticking bomb as in many countries, as are the settlements in Israel...
The final scene with only the boy's voices: 'Somebody can write?.. Yes, I can do some writing... Good, you write down the names... Yes, let's put the Chinaman on the (killing) list. He's so cocky.'
