Black Orpheus evaluation action

The biggest feature of "Orfeu Negro" is that it has a rich and colorful Brazilian style, but what it lacks is that the love story told is not sincere and touching
. The story of the film is derived from ancient Greek tragedies and belongs to the theme of Western love. However, it is placed in Brazil at the carnival. It is accompanied by bright colors and restless samba. The protagonist has also changed to black people, and it has become a new bottle of old wine. It's refreshing and easy to digest
. The most important thing about this movie for Brazilians is that it shows the Brazilian music of Bossa Nova to the world
. (Comprehensive evaluation by Sina Entertainment, Beijing Youth Daily and Oriental Morning Post)
Although the black people in "Orfeu Negro" have a Western Europeanization of their daily life, they still have primitive blood flowing on them. The tragedy of their lives is in the same line as the myth. However, the carnival atmosphere of the carnival in the film was colorfully played by Marcel Camus.
