I'm a Brazilian born French and I learned some things about Brazil seeing this movie. It's interesting but also beautiful and well casted. At first, I thought of a remake of Gloria by John Cassavetes because the main characters are alike in both films. But Walter Salles emphasises on the road and the country, he's full of hopes about his own nation... and Brazil just needs hope. The characters find hope in Jesus: the one we all know and also, Jesus is the name of the orphan kid's father they are looking for.
