      prison in prison

      "Blood in Prison" is based on the memoir "Carandilu" by doctor and AIDS expert Drozio Varela. The memoir recounts his work in prison from 1989 to 1992 during the Karandiru massacre, which killed 111 inmates but none of the police. Calandiru is the largest prison in Latin America, with a capacity of more than 4,000 prisoners, but in reality it accommodates more than 7,000 prisoners. Brazil's penal system is huge by any measure. Brazil has a higher incarceration rate than any...

      A final homework, handed it over

      Because I can't remember some details, I want to watch the film again on the Internet today and write this review, but I can't find the source of the film everywhere, and I found two "Blood in Prison" and "Karan Dilu". Names are more commonly used. I think the name "Blood in Prison" is the most appropriate name. As soon as I see these words, I can recall the blood gurgling on the ground at the end of the film, and because of the abuse of the word "runaway" over the years, I always think of it....

      The happy life of scumbags

      One by one, the dark humor starts from the doctor getting to know them one by one: the bearded man is locked in without any excuse that he has killed someone; most people are willing to gang up with people for a cookie and a candy; some people enjoy it for a little bit Some people were killed by their accomplices because they were too fat to block the escape hole; some people had two wives who were jealous and made everyone laugh; some people mingled with AIDS patients to avoid debt collection,...

      Watch Carandiru in the dark

      The original text was written in December 2006

      after watching "Carandiru" in the dark, and I took a deep breath. The moment the classroom lights were turned on, the dazzling light made me dizzy. At the same time, I was so fortunate that I was still in this bright world.

      Before watching the movie, I didn't know anything about this movie, and I didn't even know that carandiru is the largest and most notorious prison in South America (forgive my ignorance), when I saw the...

      Inspiration from "Carandiru": The world is a prison (2007-05-03 )

      Anyone with a bit of culture knows how troublesome language can be, so I must first declare that this metaphor has no negative and anti-social tendencies. If there's anything emotional about it, I think I wish more people understood how incredibly disappointing the world is, and more people would wake up, maybe because of our limited ability, and be in pain after waking up, but Only understanding and learning can make our world have hope, and only by piercing the hypocritical surface happiness...

    Movie plot

    The Paul Detention Center, the largest prison in Latin America, is known as "Carandiru". A doctor came here with great ambition to start a medical program for AIDS prevention. However, the reality he faced was much trickier than he could have imagined: in this prison with more than 7,000 inmates, crowded cells, backward equipment, and harsh environment provided the breeding ground for various diseases. In a hotbed, prisoners simply...

    • Lady Di: I've come to take the test.

      Médico - Physician: Please, take a seat. First, I'd like to ask you a few questions, Lady Di.

      Lady Di: I've seen this movie before, doctor. I've never needed a blood transfusion and I never pierce my veins. The only drug I use is a joint now and then... when I watch TV or for a little romance.

      Médico - Physician: And partners, how many?

      Lady Di: Oh, about 2000.
