This complaint

All in I’m still here This is a purely political complaint. Portrait of one of the most difficult and gloomy times in Brazil in recent decades of its history. Director Walter Saller Ask with great success in the reconstruction of this hostile context that establishes a constant set of contrasts. Children playing on the beach in strong military control. Happiness for the adoption of a puppy, play football as a family or try clothes, faced with the terrible news that spread throughout the country.

I’m still here It depicts a family who wants to be happy, but sees how the army and radical policy of phagocyte his whole world. A priori may seem to be the same scheme as many films that totalitarian regimes face. But the virtue of this film is that it is not focused on a political context and in an intimate drama.

An interesting thing in the film is that it allows you to sympathize with your main characters, which we accompany in a day a day, regardless of circumstances. I’m still here This is not even confused to unravel the flogging of this explosion of violence and abductions. There are already historians and political scientists for this. The film wants to put pain on the screen. As well as the stability of those who are forced to look forward to at any cost if he wants his family to survive.

In a few years, when someone speaks on the tape, the first thing that comes to the head will be such a serious and obscene face TowerField performance for memory.

Arrival in cinemas I’m still here In short, this is the premiere of one of the most complex and real films of the year. Against that his premise can promise, he is not a political thriller, loaded with actions. This is a human drama, which is prepared in a very slow heat and where tension in the appearance and gestures of its main characters. Especially one Fernanda Torres dazzling.
