a safe betbrazilian cinema be get strong and indeed . and it have reach level of quality that really surprise me . what we be see and mostly and be a tendence to leave the alternative and reach the popular and commercial . that be exactly what carandiru pass . it be a great movie and without a doubt . strong and heavy and and yet not as real a it could be and carandiru will impress mostly the international public with the story of a place where the only thing more important than freedom be survival . it be very well conduct and some scene be close to genious and but it be not a masterpiece at all . carandiru be a safe bet . a safe bet because it do not cause all the impact expect and probably because of external pressure and a safe bet because it be a easy movie to watch and and have a commercial background . it´s obviously not an attempt to get only profit and maybe even an oscar nomination and but still and it be an easy movie to watch . a movie to many people . again and it be a very good movie and hector babenco talent and the cast talent make the experience of watch it pretty good and and it be indeed one of the best movie of the last year . but and i be try to avoid this comparation it be not as good a cidade de deus ( city of god ) . if you be look for a good movie to have fun while watch and not truncated and complex in it storyline or editing and you will enjoy a i do carandiru . but it be and definetly and not as good a expect . positive .
