say something off topic

I read the short reviews and found that there are many yin and yang comments about our country's system. They are all commenting on the issue of democracy but do not know what democracy is. Are countries such as the United States and Japan a good society? The governments of the United States and Japan are controlled by political families and billionaires. If you look at every election in the two countries, you will understand that there are several people who represent the interests of the...

Living on the "edge of democracy"

Politics is always confusing, no matter what era you are in, it can make people confused about the truth.

The documentary "The Edge of Democracy" tells about the political events that Brazil experienced from dictatorship to democracy, and then into a democratic crisis.

This is a very personal work by director Petra Costa.

Petra was born in a period...

The fringe of democracy

Brazilian director Petra Costa documentary "The Edge of Democracy" (2019). The changes in Brazil over the years are the epitome of the shift towards populism and right-wing fascism in democratic elections throughout the world. I also think of our current situation, which will be detailed later.

The most impressive were former presidents Lula and Dilma Rousseff.

Lula was a steel worker and a union leader. His turn to politics was due to an accidental visit to the parliament: more...

Dependent Brazil, the fringe of democracy

"The Edge of Democracy" is a very valuable documentary. Although it does not deviate from the director's left-leaning ideological prejudice, the rebirth, development and crisis of Brazilian democracy are still worthy of current reflection, and it also has the value of further academic research. This film review aims to provide some modern political background and related research theories in Brazil, combining political changes with the development of dependency theory, and...

Miscellaneous-the tragedy and limits of the left in the system

1. Fundamentally speaking, it is the predicament of the left in the system. The democratic election of the bourgeoisie itself is a golden yuan politics. The left-wing party cannot get rid of the support and cooperation of capitalists and bankers, but because its own ideology must stand on the other side, there is often great tension. South Korea’s previous left-wing presidents have had similar predicaments and therefore have similar destinies; right-wing parties have little pressure in this...

It is not uncommon for oligarchs to change the flag of the king at the city head. In such a film, we feel the same heat and cold in the world, and we may feel that every family has a book that is difficult to read, but others can interview the president, make films in the presidential palace, film demonstrations, and film the different voices of the people. We are sighing. While the stability of the country is really good, shouldn't we also realize that we don't even have the opportunity to ask...

The film perfectly proves the reasons for the failure of Brazil's epidemic prevention and control today. The society is so fragmented, and contradictions are accumulating day by day; People think they are mature enough to go to the streets to party, but they are actually being treated like monkeys again and again by those who do party. Politicians can really have a right face when they say that they are both positive and negative. The old president's speeches in the spring and roses before he...

The aunt lived very clearly that democracy does not exist. If you try to understand "democracy" from the perspective of big capitalists, it is actually a set of selling methods that make sure no losses. No matter who you go to, you can guarantee your own return on investment; the last laugh can only be capital, not capitalist politics. home and the so-called people. My attitude is against democracy, against autocracy, against politics, against anarchism, against everything. Moreover, I think...
