An Unexpected fairy tale of friendship
Nosso Sonho tells the story of this musical duo that hit the charts in Brazil of late 1990s. Grewing up in a favela of São Gonçalo, minor city of Metropolitan area of Rio de Janeiro, we are quickly attached to the acting presenting this beautiful friendship. Of course the poverty, violence and social issues are there as the real landscape they are part of but the director focused on goodwill, unlike the majority of big movie hits in Brazil.
We follow Claudinho & Buchecha through the early days in their childhood until they finally became the biggest stars of the newborn style of "Funk Melody", the local adaptation of Miami Freestyle music of Stevie B, Tony Garcia and Noel. The first music we loudly listen in the story is called "Rap do Amigo"(Friend´s Rap) and it set the tone. At this point of the story it is impossible not to sympathize with the protagonists and even thrill after every successful step to the fame.
Most of Brazilians know the end of the story but the movie is so well delivered with parallel plots that the audience keep waiting for something else and in high spirits until the very last scene.
Superb!
