Debora Silva This is a true story about two brothers - Zeze di Camargo and Luciano. In this movie, you will see the struggles their family went through with not even having any money for food. Their father's biggest dream was to have his kids become country starts. By selling all his crop to purchase an accordion, he gave that to his son as a gift and told him to learn it on his own! The kids start playing in the bus station for money (to buy food)...This movie has been beautifully been put together. It has great acting, including from the children, who sing their hearts out throughout the entire movie! This is truly and inspirational story of how your dreams can come true if you really fight for them!
Dppkjz This is one of the best Brazilian's movies I've ever seen.It's touching,well done and has great performances!There were lots of actors who were on their first movie and they did an awesome job!It's a very beautiful and emotional story that shows the life of a very poor family and a father that saw success on his two son's.I can say that lots of people would cry on this movie.This production shows how Brazilian's cinema has improved through the years and has gotten better and better!The box office proves what I've said before.It has been the most watched movie in Brazil for weeks and it still brings lots of people on the theater!Breno Silveira deserves more than an award for "2 Filhos de Francisco".
Francisco França The film shows the beautiful and touching story of the famous Brazillian country music duo Zezé di Camargo and Luciano. However, it won't be interesting to non-Brazillian, since it is the same old cliché: poor boys who managed to climb over the misfortunes of life and got successful. In fact, even for Brazillians it can be rather boring: the editing is terrible. The rhythm is so slow I almost fell asleep while watching. The photography is acceptable, the best feature in this movie.Zezé di Camargo and Luciano are quite pretentious when they believe this film about their story will be nominated for an Academy Award. During the Formula 1 GP 2005 they even said that "other films have been nominated and couldn't manage to win, maybe this is Brazil's chance to win an Oscar". If "O Quatrilho", "Central Station" and "City of God" didn't make it, is it really their film who will bring us an award? If it does, I will really start to believe that the Oscar is a fraud.
wel2005 It's about a father that wants two of his children to became country singers. He never gives up, always believes in his dream even if he doesn't have money to feed his family and everybody thought he is crazy. They are poor and live in the countryside of Brazil, Goiás (a state in central Brazil). It's similar to Walter Salles Central Station, with its simplicity and sophistication. Beautiful cinematography. If you want to know how is the real Brazilian soul, watch this movie. There is prejudice against country music, like in the USA. Parts of upper class e high middle class here think that country music is tacky. See the movie made me understand what this kind of music means to people that makes it and listen to it. It's only a different taste. There are lots of classic regional song from Brazil that other countries don't know, different from samba or Bossa Nova. I hope its deserve attention in other countries too. The film is getting the first place in box office for 10 weeks (about 5 million saw it. "The Incredibles" is the second), became the most viewed this year and it's our foreign-language Oscar contender. Its also a huge success with critics. Zeze Di Camargo & Luciano have sold more than 22 million CDs in Brazil.
