A Good Way to Understand

December 8, 2009

Format: DVDVerified Purchase

Rare that you're allowed to decide for yourself after something so powerful.
This is a true story, and a well done documentary.
Watch it if you truly want to discover why Brazilians seem so open and friendly, and talkative. They have their issues, but nothing is not so bad (as would be covered by other western media) that can't be discussed and possibly solved amongst themselves with honesty.
I have many friends in Brazil who remember this incident and some (just like the sorer parts of our history) do not like to remember. The good thing about this film, however, is it does not show a bias from either point of view while detailing how the tragic events of that day came to unravel.
If you live in a western nation these days it's very hard not to try and listen openly to both sides (whether you agree our not) without having political rhetoric shoved down your throat. Even if the issue discussed isn't political in nature. So the Brazilians sharing this info let the audience make up their minds what should be done about issues of poverty, media, crime, corruption, and social inequality yet they still were able to let those involved and deeply effected share their opinions as well. Truly effective.

Touching, compelling, beautiful

This film often does pull its viewer in different directions. At times you feel so angry at Sandro, but his background makes you consider the many facets of the society that breeds such street people. The massacre of the street kids was especially horrendous, and I think they give the event fair representation in this documentary. I think that the filmmakers tried very hard to remain unbiased while criticizing a government that does not always work. As a few people have mentioned, this is a very long documentary, but I personally think that it needs to be this long to do the story justice. Overall, it is very poignant and heart wrenching, but in the end it will make you reconsider the way that society isolates specific groups of people, and it may cause you to question the way you yourself profile people.

This terrifying real-life nightmare is like watching a car accident in slow motion. The unending cycle of poverty in Rio creates the conditions for such an atrocious crime. Yet it's also understood this could happen most anywhere similar social dynamics exist. More than anything else, the film posits, Sandro feels forgotten and invisible- he wants to be recognized, wants others to feel and acknowledge his anger at being discarded and neglected for so long. Leading up to its shattering conclusion, the film makes us watch what otherwise we'd too readily avoid, and in the end, Sandro gets his wish.

Social and economic rights

April 6, 2007

I first heard about Bus 174 in a law seminar on human rights and culture. For a high school class I am teaching on human rights, I was looking for films to show. Bus 174 is an excellent film in its own right (well directed and edited, etc). But it will certainly prove educational in my class. The film asks the viewer to consider to what extent the state is responsible for lawlessness when lawlessness is a result of the desperation that springs from poverty and social marginalization. Given insufficiently trained police and their resultant tendency toward brutality, and a criminal detention system in which prisoners live under inhumane conditions, how can anything but anger and violence amongst prisoners and ex-convicts result? Hard questions confronted by the robbery/hostage incident aboard Brazil's Bus 174; an incident depicted exquisitely by this film.

One of the greatest documentaries and one of the best films to come out of Brazil. It touches on so many aspects of current Brazilian culture.

If you like the film "Dog Day Afternoon" then you'll love this. Powerful docu-drama about the events that transpired on June 12 of 2000 in Brazil, where a homeless person under the influence of drugs, decided to hijack a bus and detain 11 passengers as hostages on a 4 and a half hour ordeal which was telecast live on Brazilian tv. The result is much better than an action film.
