Taking BOPE's Captain Nacimondo under pressure and needing to find a successor as a clue, the film shows us the sin, blood, and pale salvation in the city. Nacimondo has always introduced the background and development of events in the form of narration, but he is not the real protagonist of the film. His search for and cultivation of successors is only a perspective of the film. In my opinion, the protagonist is Mathiers, and the film is actually about his upbringing: at first, as an upright college student and fledgling police officer with ideals of legal justice, he believes that most police officers are good , and was willing and worked hard for it, and because of this, he had a heated debate with the students; after a series of things such as the shattering of love and the death of a friend, he finally transformed into a ruthless BOPE middleman, who became exactly what the students hated. the kind of police. This process is still worth thinking about. This is the result of the "system" mentioned in the film, and it is also the result of the many contradictions in this society intertwined and becoming more and more acute.
Regarding the collusion and confrontation between the drug dealers and the police, the unbearable conditions of the slums controlled by the drug dealers, and the students' distrust of the police and the infiltration of drugs, the film does not go into too much depth, but just shows them. The documentary-like style employed has a rough realism and punch. However, the structure of the film is not good enough. At the beginning, it shows a gun battle that took place in the favela of Rio de Janeiro, and then spends an hour to introduce the cause of the gun battle, and then this gun battle leads to the following BOPE special training. With this as a boundary, the film is divided into two parts, with a sense of separation.
