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
Bingo - The King of the Mornings is an extraordinary drama, deeply emotional, depicting the life of a beloved Brazilian artist. With excellent production, direction, script, sets, costumes, and cast, the film highlights personal struggles and the competitive world of television. A story of resilience and talent, highly recommended for all Brazilians to experience this heartfelt cinematic achievement.
He looks like a clown you probably know...because of trademark rights, the name of the clown, the TV channel names and many people's names were changed to avoid lawsuits. Having said that, it is inspired and really it got very close of the person behind the clown make-up. It will entertain but also shock and disappoint you, all together. But mostly, it is a great movie, realistic and cruel in the details. It is about real life, so you an expect the good and the bad of it. Above all, I was a kid and this movie is very loyal to the reality. How TV drains energy, trade off for success. I believe American audience would not enjoy it so much. The truth is, "Bingo" was not meant to be politically correct movie. It is a great movie.
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.
