I went to see this amazing movie on sat. I has no oscars nominations, no fancy special effects, no celebrities, etc.
It's one of the most icredible stories I have seen lately.
If you have the chance, check it out!

too right, saw it a while ago and was amazed and inspired by it. tragic to think that quite a few of the actors are now dead.

saw a few months back and thought that was one of the best films i'd seen in ages... went with my capoeira group and there was a running commentry through the whole thing, like surround sound... I didn't know people had died ? :(

what I heard, is that lots of the actors in the movie they were originally from the "favelas" in rio so when you said they are dead now, Im assumming is because they got killed later on in there..

I'm so jealous! I've still never been, and been playing for aaaages now...
My teacher would have been one of those kids, he was sleeping on top of a bus shelter until Mestre Nô found him and took him into his group. Since then he has performed all over the world and now lives in London, all cos of capoeira and good character.

I've been kinda suffering because this movie was released quite some time ago here in Brasil (obviously in portuguese). I wasn't brave enough to go see it with my crappy portuguese skills, so, I've been waiting for the DVD with subtitles. Everyone I know here said it was fantastic, brilliant, etc. Meanwhile, the film is traveling all over the world with great success and I will be the last person to see it ... and I live in Rio. Damn.

Probably the best movie of the year. It should have been nominated for best movie (and many other categories) at the Oscars (I just can't understand why the Hell it didn't get nominated even for best foreign language film). Saw it a couple months ago and I'll go see it again this week. Great action, great acting, great script, great directing, great soundtrack, great cinematography, great editing... What else could you ask for? :) Brilliant piece of ART for sure.
LOL @ BEEMO's comment :D

The story isn't a masterpiece or anything me thinks.
It is great movie though. Nice cinematography, awesome soundtrack. Good pace and energy. Plenty of violence.
