Medida Provisória

"Do we realize when history is happening?" As absurd as it is real, some dialogues hurt the soul, exuding racism in such a natural and hateful way, the irony, Provisional Measure 1.888, the reparation would not be to return the whites to Europe, in exchange for the return of our gold, remembering that there is no pedigree among the so-called whites... There are so many layers, but if you analyze the speeches, however absurd they may be, they are exactly the same as those of the extreme right, politicians, lovers of dictatorship and fascism, comedians, in short, cattle... A courageous, wonderful, controversial, captivating film....

In a dystopian future, an authoritarian Brazilian government orders all black citizens to move to the African continent as a way to make amends for the times of slavery, creating chaos, protests and a resistance movement in almost the entire nation.

The movie "Executive Order" brings the strength of racial prejudice against black people during a visibly ultra-right-wing government in Brazil. The plot deals with a very important and current theme of racial segregation and the danger of a false political ideology about immigration. The major issues with the movie start with a naive and weak script, then go through the amateurish direction and culminate with the poor editing, which has cuts similar to those ones in Latin soap operas. It is sad to realize that the strength of the plot gets lost when mixed with comic scenes and childish dialogues.

The idea is original but was very badly executed. Starting with a lousy screenplay - full of clichés and unnecessary lines - and a dreadful direction. What a waste!

I am a big fan of Lazaro Ramos, the actor. But Lazaro Ramos, the director just let me down. Poor argumentation, bad acting, disposable dialogues and scenes (like the sensual samba dancing while talking about a favorite song to be chosen), annoying characters (come on seu Jorge, have you seen this film before releasing it?). I just can't believe seu Jorge accepted a role like that, he is so badass. Some of the best names of Brazil cinema caught on a trap. Sad to see and give this kind of review because I love these people, storyline was really promising and some absurd situations really happens in Brazil.

"I know what you're thinking ... 'this guy probably hated this film because of his political views". Well Consider this, what I would say in terms of this movie, if you were on a plane, and you had only this film available to watch, you might just enjoy spend your time looking at a empty air sickness bag, than spend one hour and a half watching this piece of ragged thriller.
