The impressive history of Brazil, told in detail, we can with this film know where our political dynamic comes from. A film that clearly shows the forces behind power, freemasonry and the fights of groups against and in favor of having the command of public management. A film to understand an important part of our history, a film that we feel seeks to be didactic in the step by step of its presentation of the real facts, is beautiful to see and know all this, applause!

The filmmaker Sergio Rezende is a great accountant of the national cinema stories. He made two films in this sense that besides this commented here, one is about the militia with O Homem da Capa Preta of 1980 and later did the exquisite Zuzu Angel on the an arbitrary arrest of a young man and his mother's fight for justice in the Zuzu Angel plot of 2006. As protagonists we have Paulo Betti (Cafundó 2005) and Malu Mader (Feliz Ano Velho 1987).

MAUA, the Brazilian film about the 19th century national hero of the same name is a masterpiece of its genre. Master director Sergio Rezende has been producing a series of historical epics these past few years, and his latest is his best. It is also the best Brazilian film of the 1999/2000 November to April film season, according to many. I agree wholeheartedly. The period details, the superb acting, beautiful sets and historical relevance to today's Brazil, compared to the country's state 110 to 150 years ago all contribute to make this, a film not to be missed. The film maker contrasts the country's economy in two different centuries, in this, the 500th anniversary of "Brazil" as a Western-style country, to great effect. In MAUA, open markets, free trade and other liberal economic policies currently pursued by the Brazilian government get the greatest promotion that issues like these can ever get. They are dramatized, and persuasively pitched to the public through MAUA's life story. He has always been considered the pioneer of Brazil-oriented (as opposed to Portuguese Empire-oriented) business development and distribution of wealth, as well as a champion for the abolition of slavery. This film will cement his image as a semi-god in Brazil's history. The film will also be remembered for a long time, for the fine historical epic and drama that it is.
