Just because it's an Aquarius - this Aquarius is not that Aquarius

Before I watched the film, I always thought it was a movie about constellations. At first I thought it was a story about an Aquarius, but then the whole plot developed a little bit insinuating.

Clara is a Brazilian female writer. At the beginning, her family was holding a birthday party, and her grandchildren enthusiastically recited poems to bless her. Everyone is very happy. Then the camera cuts to, Clara gets up the next morning and goes to the beach for a swim. After swimming, there was a large-scale bathing shot, which also showed her breasts that were cut off. A real estate agent came to chat with her and said that he wanted to buy her house, because the whole house was not finished by hers. It was said that the house was to be converted into a shopping mall called Aquarius, but it was brought out at this time. It turned out that the house was called Aquarius. Co-authored, this film is a story about the battle of wits and courage between Nail Households and developers. Clara naturally did not agree, and then went out to hold various parties with friends, and also met a handsome old man, and later did what she loved to do. At this time, a group of people entered their house upstairs to have a party, and it was a large-scale party. Clara thought it was to drive her away. When she was returning home, a few people came and told her to go to a room on the 10th floor. Clara didn't know it, but after she went in, she found that in order to drive her away, she had put termites in the room. Clara led her family and threw the termites into the developer's office. The whole story is complete.

Looking back on it after watching it, it's still very interesting. Especially on the issue of forced demolition, I feel that Brazil has done very well, compared to some countries. The heroine's performance is very good, and the state of the tasteful woman is well interpreted. Not bad.

    Resistance and sexuality support women's eternal youth.

    [Brazil] The memories carried between the buildings include past history, music, personnel and sex; the moth-eaten wood and mottled brick walls piece together all the things Clara once lived. "Aquarius" is her territory and kingdom. Even if she is in a sinister trap and conspiracy, she must resist to the death; in the face of the complicated world, she must maintain her voice. Although it is full of perspective and the themes involved are very serious, it is also a story of a middle-aged woman that is gentle and full of possibilities; the portrayal of her perspective and the relationship with her surroundings is also very lifelike.

Aquarius quotes

  • Clara: So when you like it, it's vintage; when you don't like it, it's old. Is that right? You guys don't know what it's like to feel crazy without being crazy and that the madness is out there, don't you? Another thing that's really crazy around here is that we're talking about money.

  • Clara: I survived cancer. More than 30 years ago, you know? And these days I've been thinking about something. I'd rather give you cancer than having it myself.
