      Desperate people are not afraid of disappointment

      The film is good or bad, the story is wonderful or not, but life cannot be evaluated.
            Life itself does not need sensational and sublimation. No need for someone to star. But storytellers always have a personal touch. Therefore, the rating is very vague. Even if storytelling and telling are commented separately, you still need to refer to the proportions of the two.
             
      The idealism that the story
             
             can really not be defeated by reality must be the...

      the silent majority

      "The only reason for the triumph of the evil is for good man to do nothing."
      This is what I remembered after watching Elite Force.
          The film itself is based on real events in Rio de Janeiro, and I think a few key words are enough to sum up the whole film - "politics", "slums", "corruption", "police". Most young people with ideals will be high-spirited and even a bit pretentious when they are just starting out. During the process of slowly getting in touch with society, their hearts...

      BOPE, which is darker than the gang...

      The last time I read a magazine, the picture showed that BOPE did not wear a helmet or face mask when fighting. Because the members of BOPE firmly believe that the role of helmets in street fighting is not very big, because helmets can only withstand the shooting of pistols, not the shooting of rifles, and it is easy to cause ricochets and accidentally injure teammates, so ordinary special forces do not wear helmets, in addition BOPE members don't wear masks. You must know that in order to keep...

      Some people like to snatch, we welcome scramble

      In the first episode of the Brazilian film "Elite Force 1", the young people who embraced the eradication of corruption and saved the country in a straight line, joined the elite force, swept away the drug cartels with iron fists, and fought the black and evil heartily, which is very pleasing to the heart. In addition to admiring the courage and courage of the elite troops, I am also thinking, will the elite troops be a short-lived simply by suppressing violence? Will there be corruption within...

      reality

      The scene is bloody real, but not artificial. When I read the news before, Brazil was attacking the black, and tanks could be used. It feels a bit exaggerated. After watching this movie, I realized that it is so messy there. But there are also doubts, since the film's description of the current situation in Brazil is so thorough and clear. It will also make most people aware of this situation. Since it can be made into a movie, it means that speech is also free. Why can't it be stopped. Is it...

    Movie plot

    In 1997, before the Pope visited Rio de Janeiro, the captain of the Special Police Military Operations Force Nassimon ( Wagner Moura ) was asked to remove drug dealers in a slum that the Pope was going to visit. Nassimon was very embarrassed by this order, because his wife was about to give birth, so he wanted to find someone else to replace him to complete this mission, withdraw from the military operations force, and become an...

    Behind the scenes gags

    During the filming of the film, a truck loaded with 90 weapons in Rio de Janeiro was robbed. The local police conducted a carpet search in the surrounding area to try to retrieve the lost guns, but the action was not very effective.
    Before the official release of the film, the pirated discs, which the director called the "third version," flooded the main streets of the Brazilian capital, and the average price was five US dollars. Police...

    Evaluation action

    The film shows Brazil’s constant pains in democratic reforms since the enactment of the eighth constitution in Brazil’s history in 1988, facing the dark side of the inevitable laws and crimes in the democratic process, just as the director himself said: “The film wants It shows that when the game is played under the current rules, no one can be the real winner.” The audience can see in the film that even the police with a deep sense of...

    • Capitão Nascimento: Mr. 02, you'll never make it through this course, you know why? It's not because you are fucking weak and have no fiber. It's because you're a crooked cop, Mr. 02, and to wear this badge

      [taps the skull badge]

      Capitão Nascimento: you gotta have character. You don't belong here, Mr. 02, you belong with the hookers and the pimps, Mr. 02. You belong with the abortion clinics. Crooked cops don't join BOPE, Mr. 02.
