Mais Forte que o Mundo: A História de José Aldo

Beautiful biography, what a difficult beginning, luckily the mother had a firm posture, when she moved away from the abuser, otherwise the future could be quite different ... Botafoguense suffered, pure pleonasm ... The second act is more fun and light, with the presence of Rafinha Bastos and Cleo Pires... Ownt, ahhh soundtrack, everything, packing romances, fights, cries ... And for those who like fights, punches, kicks and a lot of blood, here we have a full plate ... Despite exaggerating the fiction works very well... Excellent biography...

Good acting, nice to focus more on the person "Jose Aldo" than in his fights. But the director tries to make every action meaningful, create a non belivable villain character (with no necessity to do this whatsoever) and loses the tone of the movie. If you like the fighter, worth watching.

Some movies keep their big reveals for the end of the movie. You do have a main character with psychological issues here and they are not hiding it. Fighting demons (not literally, although sometimes it may seem so on screen) is one thing, translating that drama onto screen another. It really is tough, especially when you consider the struggle the main character has to go through.

And the fact the viewer has to stay with him. It's not easy to like him all the time, but you understand where he is coming from. The neighborhood, the friends, the family, all that background gets covered. The movie does a really good job and the fight scenes are gritty and tough enough. It really is a movie that has quality and cares about its very broken protagonist ... do you care too?

This film seems a mix of a soap opera and B cheesy action film with an excess of unnecessary slow motion. The music score combines trailer soundtrack with good well known songs completely out of place. Nothing convinces, nothing impacts, nothing seems real. Dialogues are awful and there are many embarrassing failed attempts to make spectator laugh on bad gags. You can expect seeing all known clichés put together, and certainly not in a clever way.

Stronger than the World: The Story of Jose Aldo is a film that surprising me, Brazilian cinema lately this weak, we have at most three good films a year, and it left me with no expectations for the film that tells the story of one of the major UFC fighters Jose Aldo, the cast is good, José Loreto this well, Cleo Pires, Jackson Antunes, Claudia Ohana, Milhem Cortaz, Rafinha Bastos, Robson Nunes, etc., no actor commits the film, everyone is competent in their role, the direction is Afonso Poyart that made 2 Rabbits is very good, the soundtrack is good, the style that Poyart film is interesting, even the film with moments that I found unnecessary, for example the follies of Aldo, I I thought exaggerated, more Stronger than the World: the Story of Jose Aldo is very good, with great moments and proof that the Poyart has very what grow in the cinema. Note 8.0
