Saudade is a vague and constant desire for something that does not and probably cannot exist, for something other than the present. – Aubrey Bell

FERNANDA MONTENEGRO as ISADORA 'DORA' TEIXEIRA and VINÍCIUS DE OLIVEIRA as JOSUÉ FONTENELE DE PAIVA CENTRAL DO BRASIL // CENTRAL STATION (1998) dir. Walter Salles

[theangelcatalogue]

I'M STILL HERE WON BEST INTERNATIONAL MOVIE!! THIS IS A NOT A DRILL!! I'M STILL HERE WON

[brazillian-news]

I'M STILL HERE WON AS BEST INTERNATIONAL MOVIE!!!

I'm so, so happy for this victory, Eunice Paiva (RIP) deserves it so much, her family deserves it so much. I'm just sad that Fernanda didn't won as best actress and I'm Still Here didn't won as best movie, but it's okay, at least the awards went to Mikey Madson (Anora) and Anora, and not... a certain film that takes place in Mexico, but it was competing as a French film because of the director.

[artificialharmony]

26 years ago Fernanda Montenegro was nominated for a Golden Globe for her performance in CENTRAL STATION. Today, her daughter, Fernanda Torres won the Golden Globe for Best Actress for I’M STILL HERE. Both movies directed by Walter Salles. What an incredible full circle moment for my country.

SOU BRASIL COM MUITO ORGULHO!

well anyway. i love movies and i’m still here ainda estou aqui is a historic win for brasil not only because it’s our first oscar win; but also because it tells one of the thousands of stories of kidnapped/tortured/murdered citizens during the u.s. backed military dictatorship we went through from 1964 to 1985. even if we hadn’t won tonight the fact this movie got made is an achievement in itself. eunice paiva and the paiva family is one of the many families that got torn apart and haven’t got justice to this day. many families only got the death certificates of their loved ones last month. we still don’t know the exact number of victims. the united states of america is complicit in all this, and it keeps interfering with our politics to this day. i hope one day i never have to hear about this country again.

[idkneverthoughtofit]

Yesterday, we watched an "Anora" sweep at the Oscars. Although I recognize the greatness of this movie, I believe other nominees were fit for some of the awards it won, especially "I'm Still Here".

Even though "Anora" is a compelling story that humanizes sex work and gets it pretty accurately, "Ainda Estou Aqui" has a much more relevant message for current times. As much as it is a very real piece of Brazilian history, it is also a cautionary tale in response to the far-right rise to power worldwide in recent years, particularly under Bolsonaro . It shows audiences a glimpse of our military dictatorship and what it felt like to be subjugated to it.

I cannot emphasize enough the Unites States's role in this totalitarian regime, as it is proven they endorsed and financed not only my country's misery but also that of many others in Latin America. Here, we all lived through gruesome tyranny, built on exile, torture, and merciless killings—regardless of race, gender, or class. And do you know what happened to the people inflicting this great evil onto the population? They received full pardon for their heinous crimes, and all the evidence has been kept in secrecy ever since. Some of them were even honored with monuments and street names to this day.

This is what they’re trying to bring back. Despite popular belief, this fascism was first and foremost favored by the upper middle class and the Catholic Church, followed by the great masses and low rank military—and you best believe they regretted it bitterly. It just goes to show that while its rise may be "democratic", its endurance is anything but.

So it's quite interesting that the Oscars didn’t award this movie Best Picture or Best Leading Role—for reasons I can very clearly figure out. The world is going through a great crisis, but perhaps most evident is president Trump's politics. However, don’t let fear take over you. If you’re from a country that is going through the baby steps of this type of regime, remember: Brasil’s dictatorship only ended because the people fought day and night for its demise, and so should you.

Finally, I urge you all to look into this dictatorship’s history and learn from it. Because WE ARE STILL HERE.

We're going to have 2 Haikyuu movies and Brasil won an Oscar... thank you god 🙏

Why I'm Still Here's Oscar win means so much

Ok, now that I'm no longer drunk off rose sparkling wine and am firmly sat directly in front of a fan because it's 42°C outside, let's talk about this movie.

If you're not from latam, you're probably wondering why so many Brazilians on the internet are so happy and so pissed right now (I will address the first only). If you haven't seen the movie (which I highly, highly recommend you do, specially if you're USamerican) you might be wondering what the big deal is. So Brasil won its first Oscar ever, so what? It's over, go back to your carnival parades.

I'm Still Here is, however, probably the most important movie out of that top 10 list given the current political climate. It is important to Brazilian history and culture in ways that make me tear up just thinking about. And it has resonated with USamerican people who got to watch it on theaters, and I am certain it will resonate with anyone from the US who gets to watch it. This will be long, so I'm putting it under a cut. Take my hand, let's go down history road.

The year is 1964. The day is April 1st, but since it is April's fools, the military will pretend it was March 31st. Recently elected president João Goulart (aka Jango) is deposed by a coup carried out by an alliance of military and politicians. Politicians who weren't even far-righ: they were right-wing or simply too afraid of the word communism to leave a guy who wanted to redistribute land as president. This was not the first time in Brazilian history the military planned, succeeded on or attempted a coup, and it would not be the last.

Now, I don't how much USamericans and non-latam people in general know or are taught about the military dictatorships that spread throughout South America or about the role the US played in them. If you don't know what Operation Condor was, I suggest you find out. But the tl;dr of it, as Fernanda Torres herself mentioned in several interviews, is that this was during the cold war. The Brazilian military received direct support of the US to "free the country from the communist threat".

Now, from 1964 to 1968 things were bad. Not bad for everyone, mind you: if you were what they considered an "upstanding citizen" who kept to themselves and went about your life as if nothing was happening, you went about your life as if nothing was happening. For those who opposed the military government, though, things were rough. People were surveiled, persecuted, arrested. People lost their jobs. Think McCarthyism, but tropical, and it was the army doing the persecution.

Obviously, people tried to resist the regime. There were protests on the streets and in whatever little space the media got to oppose the military. In the late 1960s, several groups of armed resistance started popping up to fight against the military, such as MR-8 and ANL. You might have heard of Carlos Marighella, as a film about his life recently got some international traction. In this scenario, in late 1968, the military government of the time (we went through a few military presidents, unlike most other countries who had only one dictator) passed the Institutional Act #5.

AI-5 was the harsher of such institutional acts passed during the regime. The time between its enactment and its revogation (1968-1979) is knows as "the lead years". During that time, thousands of people, with degrees of involvement in the opposition that varried from unfortunate bystander to actual armed fighter involved in kidnapping the American ambassador, thousands of Brazilians were kidnapped, interrogated, tortured and brutally murdered by their so called compatriots. Often, their bodies were thrown into the ocean. These Brazilians were kidnapped and tortured using methods and technology our military learned and received from the US government.

I'm Still Here is about a family ruined by that very same military. Rubens Paiva, who was deposed as senator by the regime, is taken from his home in front of his wife and children for interrogation. He never comes back. A few days later, his wife is taken too (Eunice, played by Fernanda). She suffers weeks of psychological torture. When she's returned home, she struggles with being a mother to five children in a time when women needed their husband's signature to withdraw money from the bank. She carries on. She gets a law degree in her late forties and fights for indigenous rights, participating in many processes of indigenous land recognition. This is a true story.

Back to the historical background, more specifically to why the movie is relevant now. After all, this all happened 60, 50 years ago, right?

Well, the thing is, and this is the most gut wrenching moment, imo, when you watch the movie as someone from a country who suffered a military dictatorship... The things is, the people responsible for the torture, for the murders, for throwing those bodies into the sea...those people were not punished. They walked away from it all unharmed. At the end of the movie, after you witness all the love of the Paiva family, all their pain, and all their strength to carry on, the movie tells you this: the military people who tortured and murdered Rubens Paiva and dozens upon dozens of others were not punished for their crimes. Few times in my life have I felt so much rage as when I read those words on the big screen, even though I already knew that.

Oh, you already knew that? So what's the big deal?

The big deal is that many, many Brazilians don't know that. Because Brazilians are prone to forgetting the past. The amnesty law passed in 1979, which freed the military of any punishment, made sure of that. Ever since 2016, when a former armed fighter and our first and only female president was deposed, people took to asking for the return of the military dictatorship on the streets. And many people agreed, not because they were bad, but because they had forgotten. Because they didn't know. And those people elected Bolsonaro.

In January 8th 2023, with Bolsonaro's knowledge, a group of military people and far-righ politicians attempted a coup in Brazil. This is currently being investigated by the police and the supreme court.

Do you see how important it is to remember?

Many people who went to the movies to watch I'm Still Here were average, non-political Brazilians who wanted to see Fernanda Torres's Oscar nominated acting. People who were very young or not even born during those years. People who might have thought, in 2016, in 2018, in 2022 that handing the country back to the military was a good idea. What I'm Still Here did was take those people (who care very much about family) by the hand and tell them, do you see this happy family here? Do you know what happened to them? Do you who did that to them? Do you know they walked away free from what they did to these people? Doesn't that make you angry? Remember. Remember your history. Remember. Don't forget.

This time around, the military involved in the coup attempt will most likely be punished. That's not a guarantee it won't happen again, but I'm Still Here getting this much attention right when this investigation is also happening is, frankly, amazing. It's thousands of people going to the theaters and learning about what happened, and then going out and being faced with the fact that people tried to do that again. That because we forgot, we almost walked right back into the lead years.

Chile punished their military. Argentina punished their military. We didn't then, but we have the to chance to it now.

As for why I think this movie can touch USamericans: you are walking into a dictatorship. You're walking into one because Trump was not punished. As someone who's been studying latam dictatorships for a while, I am telling you that's the direction you're going. And I hope you resist. Maybe I'm Still Here can inspire you to. I'm not telling to pick up a gun and do urban guerrilla, I'm telling you to not give up. I'm telling you to keep fighting for your rights. To believe that one day justice will be done and the people involved will be punished. To remember.

[noshowjericho]

On one hand GANHAMO PORRA BRASIL CAMPEÃO DO MUNDO on the other, I don't think it was on accident that it only won best international movie. Like I understand it probably wasn't something thought out or masterminded but man, only usamericans will win best movie or best actress or best anything because it's a cruel reaffirmation of "yeah you're good but it doesn't matter, we own this stuff"

THE THREE BRAZILIAN HEROES OF THE SECOND WAR

Why does Brazil hide its heroes?

Brazilian bandits have seen movies, won countless strings, books and master's theses, all in exaltation to the career of bandits who killed and robbed innocent people left and right. See the winning plot of the last carnival: Lampião. A bandit who, with his gang, went from city to city, terrorizing the residents. Few know the history of the only city that defeated Lampião. The prefect summoned the men and their weapons and surrounded the city, waiting for the coward, who, knowing that armed men were waiting for them, passed well away.

This topic in the history of Brazil's history proves that armed citizens will never be enslaved. Obviously, you will never hear this story in classrooms.

A great example of this is the disdain that historians make of Brazil's participation in the second war. I myself believed that Brazil sent its army to embarrass itself. It wasn't like that. To this day, Italian cities honor our brave soldiers, who freed them from fascist and Nazi occupation. To this day, renowned war channels authenticate the “legend” of the three Brazilian soldiers who fought until the end against the German army, and sacrificed themselves for their own. Even with the tributes in Italy, the historical record… Everything to stifle our participation, which was fundamental in the country. Our mongrel complex is not ingrained, it is programmed, spread by Brazil's educational and political elite.

The only army where whites and blacks fought side by side. The army that, without technology, always surprised its enemy.

I imagine how the squares (name given to the soldiers of the second war) would see the current army. A bunch of soft asses, who even under the clamor of a population, in the face of a clear blow in the elections, and in the face of a dictatorship that now dominates Brazil with all its might, lowers its head to a government that humiliates them every day . As happens in other dictatorships, our generals don't care about defending the nation, but money in the account. Screw that the country sinks, that its citizens become slaves of dictators. The current Brazilian army is the greatest traitor of the country, and with great pride, as the generals rage.

OS TRÊS HERÓIS BRASILEIROS DA SEGUNDA GUERRA

Por que o Brasil Oculta Seus Heróis ?

Arrival of 2,760 men from the Brazilian Expeditionary Force by the ship James Parker, in 1945 Photo: National Archive Collection

Bandidos brasileiros viram filmes, ganham inúmeros cordéis, livros e teses de mestrados, todos em exaltação à carreira de bandidos que matavam e roubavam a torto e a direito de pessoas inocentes. Vide o enredo campeão do último carnaval: Lampião. Um bandido que com seu bando, ia de cidade em cidade metendo o terror nos moradores. Poucos sabem a história da única cidade que venceu Lampião. O prefeito convocou os homens e suas armas e cercou a cidade à espera do covarde, que sabendo que homens armados os esperavam, passou bem longe.

Esse tópico da história da história do Brasil, comprova que cidadãos armados, jamais serão escravizados. Obviamente, nunca ouvirá essa história nas salas de aula.

Um grande exemplo disso é o desdém que historiadores fazem da participação do Brasil na segunda guerra. Eu mesmo acreditava que o Brasil enviou seu exército pra passar vergonha. Não foi bem assim. Até hoje, cidades italianas homenageiam nossos bravos soldados, que os libertaram da ocupação fascista e nazista. Até hoje, renomados canais de guerra, autenticam a “lenda” dos três soldados brasileiros que lutaram até o fim contra o exército alemão, e se sacrificaram pelos seus. Mesmo com as homenagens na Itália, o registro histórico… Tudo pra abafar a nossa participação que foi fundamental no país. O nosso complexo de vira-lata não é arraigado, é programado, difundido pela elite educacional e política do Brasil.

O único exército onde brancos e negors lutavam lado a lado. O exército que, sem tecnologia, sempre surpreendia o seu inimigo.

Eu imagino como os pracinhas (nome dado aos soldados da segunda guerra) veriam o exército atual. Um bando de bunda moles, que mesmo sob o clamor de uma população, diante de um golpe claro nas eleições, e diante de uma ditadura que agora domina o Brasil com todas as sua forças, abaixa a cabeça para um governo que os humilham cada dia. Como acontece nas outras ditaduras, nossos generais não querem saber de defender a nação, e sim de dinheiro na conta. Que se dane que o país afunde, que seus cidadãos virem escravos de ditadores. O exército brasileiro atual, é o maior traidor da pátria, e com muito orgulho, como esbravejam os generais.

The only allied army where blacks and whites fought side by side
