How the film I’m still forcing Brazil here to face her legacy dictatorships News for art and culture

But the film found a resonance at the present, as well as the past, such as Brazil grapes with the outburst of a modern shock attempt.

Only last month, President Lula marked the second anniversary of the riot in Plazilia’s Plaza, where the protesters hoped to follow another military enthusiasm.

Thousands of supporters of the former President Jairo Bolsono landed on the plow 8. January 2023, only a week after Lula took office for the third, non-cranny term.

The rebellions rebeled the Supreme Court, the National Congress Building and the Presidential Palace in Brasilia, clashed with safety officers. Police says that violence is part of a multi-border attempt to expel Lula and return bolsonaro to power.

Lucas Figueiredo, journalist and author of several books on dictatorship, believes that the lack of awareness of the past has enabled many of the Brazils to romanticize the military rule.

“To date, the military sees as if he has the right to try the state attack in the 21st century. This is enough proof that no memory was built in these events,” Figueiredo said.

Former Captain of the Army, Bolsononaro publicly defended his military dictatorship and expressed nostalgia during that period.

During his presidency, since 2019. until 2022. year, he also broke out the Commission for Amnesty and the Special Commission on Political Deaths and Disappearances – two panels designed for the document and responding to human rights abuses.

When asked about the film, I’m still here, Bolsonaro told Bloomberg reporter, “I won’t even waste my time.”

Figueiredo believes that the fact that no officials punished for their role in military dictatorship helped the twist of today’s restlessness.

“This created the dynamics of impunity that favors attitudes like those we saw 8. January,” Figueiredo said.

But Marcia Carneiro, who teaches history on Fluminense Federal University, noticed that the feeling of impunity could be faded, given the Push to hold Bolsonarono and his allies responsible.

18. February, Gornet Gonet, Paulo Gonet, filed the charges against Bolsonaro and 33 others, accusing them of drawing to overthrow the government. Bolsonaro could face decades in prison if he is convicted.

“There is a new conscious that those who act against the rule of law may be punished. This is interesting and new in Brazil,” Carneiro said.

If Bolsoono was in power, Carneiro believes that the film I still greeted the protests and even on attacks.

She pointed out that under Bolsoono in 2019. The demonstrators launched Molotovske cocktails at the COMEDY GROUP PORTA DOS Fundosa, in the shirt of the short Christmas film on Netflix presented Jesus as Gay.

But even the policy of the film may have turned off some of the right-wing criticism. I’m still here focusing on the focus of the family, sketching an idyllic domestic life disrupted by violence.

Experts say that his emphasis on the family dynamics over politics has made an attractive wider audience.

“Everyone has a family – mother, father – and was hit when they see suffering. The viewers recognize the possibility of something like this event in their home,” Carneiro explained.
