Bingo: O Rei das Manhãs

From the beginning to almost the end it's a great movie! I really enjoyed it, had some good laughs. Well, I relate a lot to Bozo, I was a fan as child, although I've never called him.

But, the end of the movie is so anti climatic. The end is awful. When I realized it ended in that way I was really disappointed. I don't know what the producers/directors/writers wanted with this ending. "Drugs are bad"? "Jesus is good"? I don't know. It's just awful.

Good movie. Awful ending.

This is the best movie of the year so far. I'm from Brazil and this movie makes me hopeful about Brazilian cinema. This is the first movie of Daniel Rezende and he does an incredibly work here, he perfectly combines humor and drama, it is a very sentimental movie and only because of the perfect performance of Vladimir Brichta, he is a very complex character which has a very powerful fight against his own demons. All The supporting characters are great as well

the national cinema returning to fill the movie theaters to see a quality movie, and this return could not be in a better way, portraying the story of the rise and fall of one of the greatest icons of Brazilian television of the 80s, Bozo, or rather, Bingo, since the feature did not get the copyrights, is a great movie, with great performances and a top-level, escrachado direction. critical, surreal, dramatic and entertaining, "Bingo- the kings of mantras" is a quality nostalgia, as well as a biography of Brazilian television from the 80's. With a linear and biobibliographic script, the great sin of the script is to develop many The film could have more than 20 minutes, at times it seems that there is a lack of rhythm and in the end it seems that there is no story, and that is the great sin of the movie, we tire but it has the full sensation that it has seen the summary of the history of Bingo. Technically the film is splendid. Daniel Rezende, walks with his camera, faztraveling, makes closed plans, blurring, closes and beautiful aerial plans, and even subjective camera he uses, he more than just films a story, he gives points of view of his work that composes a whole , a clear photograph, a great use of lighting, that can make the screen shine in the big moments of Bingo and darken in its low moments, all aligned to a good soundtrack, with a lot of national rock and a competent assembly, but that does not enchant, since the assembly is the most observable aspect of the film, seeing the history of its director. Vladimir Brichta gives a show of performance, not only transgressive of Bingo, but in his calm moments, of reflection, of depression, of pure fall, despair and anguish, his performasse is remarkable and does not fall the level. Daniel Rezende, was editor of great films like; City of God, Elite Troop, Tree of Life .... and also worked with great directors and great actors, and finally makes his debut in the direction, is a good name, and it is good to keep an eye on him, the national cinema of quality on the big screen.

Brazilian cinema has always had enough quality and could easily have won the Oscar for best foreign film for the excellent City of God, but this year the film was not nominated, but at least it got 4 nominations, including in the best director category and it was a great made, but never managed to win the Oscar, but Bingo: The King of the Morning was a big bet to finally get this prize, but will not get again because it was not among the pre-competitors, but still a lot of people consider Bingo: The King of the Morning The best Brazilian film since City of God, I disagree, is a good movie, but in that time frame had better movies, it is a movie that has a narrative style a bit like Birdman won from Oscar best film in 2014, and the plot is based on the real story of Arlindo Barreto who was the Bozo clown in Brazil, the film he is good, has great moments, and good performances, Vladimir Britcha is excellent the movie has a problem in the dramatic scenes, it stretches a lot and sometimes it's a little forced, it could be shorter the scenes, some characters are very caricature and there are others that no relevance in the film and could be easily cut from the film, the direction of Daniel Rezende is very competent but I think he could have taken better advantage of some actors, I did not like the son of the protagonist that is interpreted by Cauã Martins, I think he's not so important in the movie, Bingo: The King of the Morning is a good movie, but it could have been better. Note 7.5

I heard about this movie 2 days before by a friends review.I didn't even knew there was such a movie before.Watched this expecting a time pass and I got a great movie filled with excitement,emotions and great acting.
