Doutor Gama

The movie focus on the story of one the very few Brazilians that became a self taught lawyer in Brazil per republican days.

Going through his entire life cycle, the movie decided to focus on why Luis Gama became so important to the Brazilian history, highlighting most of the scenes around hallmark ideas that he explored and delivered o his trials instead of any personal issue or suffering he went through.

The capability to deliver the arguments that are based on the Brazilian constitution and not just a self victimism (which would have been entirely justified given that Brazil was still a slave state) is a very strong example of why Luis became an example for many other generations.

The film is short (around 80 minutes) and could have been longer. The actors perform well, but we don't have enough time to understand more of their characters. The whole movie delivers a strong professional role, which is the appropriate tone for a movie like this.

A must watch for everyone.
