Impressive and well produced, it shows a point of view that is usually supressed by mainstream media companies. Worth watching.
To understand what happened in 1964 in Brazil, you must brush up a little your History. Try to interpret the world and global life as a class struggle in which the strongest and the powerful exploit the weakest, as per social Darwinism. Marx and Engels concluded that the exploited class, which produced the goods, was the one that should reign supreme, rather than that of its exploiters. The relevant ideological, political, social and military movement of 1964 was termed by some as a Revolution, by others as a Coup d'État, according to their convictions, interpretations, and concerned interests. In my opinion, the movement was neither a Revolution nor a Coup, but rather a Backlash. Or Countercoup. Against
¨Brasil Paralelo, 1964 - Brazil between arms and books" there is an ongoing campaign of defamation which started with an article in the newspaper "O Globo" arguing that the film in question defends right wing dictatorial regimes. As interviewee William Waack points out, "Not a single Communist country chose to become Communist by herself." This is also my advocated point, which I hereby relay to all those who really want to know the truth of the facts, regardless of your beliefs and convictions.
For the record, dictatorships and wars are neither just nor holy. They're dirty and inhumane. 1964 prevented Brazil from being transformed into a communist dictatorship. This documentary shows the errors and the hits that occurred in the last 61 years. It also reveals how the process of rigging occupation took place in universities and the media and how, through Gramscism, the left wing has since won the "cultural war". My recommendation: watch it.

No wonder this documentary never saw a theatrical run. It was posted on YouTube for lack of audiences interests.
Imagine a documentary that praises a dictatorship and tries to sell to the audience an idea that a coup d'etat was benefectful. Looks like a Nazi German piece of propaganda? Surprise, surprise: is a Brazilian film recently released on YouTube. Shameless historical revisionism.
1964: O Brasil Entre Armas e Livros can't be called as a Documentary. This is the result of cherry picked facts: there is no storytelling and it also doesn't represent the history. It's a cliche of relativism and denial of the corrupt system maintained by the director's politics idols. There is a sense that there was no wrongdoing in a dictatorship.
For anyone that doesn't live in Brazil, watching this would give you a very incorrect understanding the politics and history.

- GoofsAfter talking about Georg Lukács, it is said that Antonio Gramsci (described as the founder of Italian Communist Party, without telling his name) wrote the Prison Notebooks at the the same moment, in the 60's. However, the Italian Marxist philosopher died in 1937.
