Most touching scene - **** Possible spoilers ****




I saw this film recently and I find it very suttle, in spite of all the violence. For instance, I was really touched by one scene in particular (among others). That is the scene when the Captain receives the phone call from his wife, telling him that she was going to give birth that night. When he shares the news with his squad mates, they all start to cheer almost like if Brasil scored in a football game. It was'n the fulfilling of the mission that made them happy (they've just pinned down a bunch of bad guys without losing their lives), it was the fact that one of them was going to be a father and a child was going to be born that really had them excited, in the middle of all that chaos of violence and corruption. I actually found that pretty impressive.

It is, really. Family in Brasil is THE most important institution of all.

I'd choose that scene as my favorite too. Nascimento's happiness is so genuine, Wagner Moura gave a brilliant performance.

This world is a comedy to those that think, a tragedy to those that feel.
