Macunaíma (1969)
...what the hell??!
Really, i am a Brazilian man and i'm proud of my country and i'm used to believe the potential of Brazil to strike on the movies ( city of god is proof of this ) But honestly i just thought that macunaima was enough to make me sick. Even if it's based on a surrealist book rited by Mario De andrade, the surrealism is not impressive, funny, or gorgeous, in other words it sounds more like a madhouse. Even with the talented cast and a good acting of Grande Otelo, the direction, the photography, the production and camera settings are terrible. I really thought for a moment that someone in the set was drugged with some weird chemical, and i have no doubts that could be director of this movie.
Akira (1988)
a sci-fi thrilling animation which you'll ever forget it.
In 1988 the animation audience were used to watch the same fairy tail since 1937 that Disney provided with 'snow white' where "happy and ever" ruled and there was no violence or anything to create a REAL climax between the characters with a good mix of blood and explosions. But that was until 1988. After Katsuhiro Otomo released his controversial "Akira" the world of animation realized that there was no limits for story or action to make a good movie. With a unusual and powerful story, combined with explosive actions sequences and outstanding visuals, Akira turns out to be one of the greatest animations ever made, and open the doors of this entire anime universe we have today.
