Two Rabbits

Two Rabbits

Its always a pleasure to watch a Brazilian movie whit the guts to do it differently, to show that the seventh art in the country of the football still has a great future ahead.
Afonso Poyart surprises us whit a history of robbery  corruption and back stabbing counted in a very Brazilian way, whit great strength and by the peaces that the main character Edgar (Fernando Alves Pinto) want us to know. The direction of the film make it quick and easy to watch despite the overflowing of characters and the complex scheme that Edgar plans.
The direction of art takes the best in São Paulo to feature the history and the always present contrast of the wealth and the poverty present in the movie.
But the velocity and plot twists of the film do not contribute to the understanding of the characters and their goals.
Afonso give us an main character that show no remorse after murder a mother and her child and have a life of plenty and yet seek for more money. Julia who in the beginning of the film appears as a fragile woman who its getting to much involvement in the hard life of crime, becomes an famme fatale who plays her husband and ends like the motivation of Edgar plans and his lover who do anything for the love shared by them. Walter its a blur figure hidden behind the bear of Caco Ciocler who Afonso leverages of the common though that he hated Edgar, to make him one of the lasts peaces of the puzzle.
After all, you can see that the development of characters that Afonso does, do not make theirs mind clear to the viewer, the director knowing that, he use it to make more plot twists.
All this things show how this movie has an great argument that was not entirely passed to the script.
Regardless of that mistakes  we see a lot of courage in Afonso's movie and it make me thought of the  people saying, in the time of the release of "The secret in their eyes", that the Brazilian movie makers do not had that courage, but now i know that they have, and they are showing it.
