Driblando a Guerra (2014) Nome em
inglês “Shooting For Socrates” Gênero: Filme/Drama
November 1985 was one of the most intense periods of violence in Belfast,
Northern Ireland. Amid tension between Protestants, unionists, and the Catholic
minority, nationalists, a group of soccer players tries to circumvent conflicts
and violence in order to prepare for the biggest game of their lives, against
Brazil at the 1986 World Cup in Mexico.
The
violence in Ireland is depicted in the sound of bombs exploding between the
dialogues of the characters. Everyone is uncomfortable with religious violence.
But we soon realized the joy when the call from Ireland comes out.
The scene of the draw of the key teams that will play in Mexico in the
first round, makes clear the admiration they have for the Brazilian national
team. Socrates is addressed by them,
besides being considered beautiful. The children buy figurines with Socrates'
face. Socrates' name is related as a revolutionary who overthrew the cowardly
military dictatorship that turned 21 that year in 1985.
The actor who plays Socrates is more handsome than real Socrates, but that
doesn't matter. The film tells us of the drama of the Irish people, much like
the Palestinian and Kurdish people. And the attempt of the team formed by
Protestants and Catholics to unite, if they understand, and so the country can
compete and even win the cup. Everyone has hopes, but disbelief is evident in
all the characters. In an effort of those who want to win, the Ireland team
draws with Algeria, then loses to Spain and ultimately lose to Brazil 3-0.
So in this scene we Brazilians see ourselves in them Irish 28 years later
in the midst of a political crisis in which brazil divides pro - PT and against
PT. In favor of Dilma and against Dilma, and amid revealed corruptions that
scare everyone. Involving the PT at
first all other parties, Brazil that hosts the 2014 World Cup loses 7-0 to
Germany.
The Irish cried when they lost to Brazil. It's heartbreaking to see the
scene. The same as we cried for losing to Germany at home.
The Irish, over time came together and the
violence in their country decreases. In Brazil we are still settling the
accounts with the biggest corruption scandal of all time. We found that all
parties were involved in corruption. We already knew, right. But the evidence brought the clear that even the
opposition candidate of Dilma. Aécio Neves is as involved in corruption as his
party and the president who succeeded Dilma. Michel Temer. And now President
Jair Bolsonaro who is involved together with his children with criminal power,
where accusations and investigations of prosecutors accuse them and investigate
all the corruption they practiced.
At the end of the film the sign says that Ireland never participated in a
cup.
But she's trying to...
The same as us Brazilians, that we never get rid of the corrupt, but we're trying to.
