The Loaded Political Legacy of ‘Elite Squad’: How a Brazilian Blockbuster Became a Symbol of the Right-Wing Attitudes it Aimed to Critique

José Padilha's "Elite Squad" is one of the most iconic Brazilian films of the 21st century, but the badass police epic was far too cool for its own good.

On the surface, George Lucas’ “Star Wars” has little to do with José Padilha’s “Elite Squad.” One is a fantastical space opera about princesses and droids, the other is a ‘90s-set thriller about police brutality and institutional corruption. And yet — in Brazil — the two films are bound together by an almost identical cultural footprint. “Elite Squad��� is as close to a bonafide Brazilian blockbuster as it gets. Not only is Wagner Moura’s Capitão Nascimento perhaps the country’s most well-known fictional character, but his lines are still quoted to this day, often by people who don’t even know their origin.

The launch of “Elite Squad” in 2007 was an event unto itself. Before the movie could be released in theaters, it was leaked through bootleg DVDs that cost — at today’s exchange rate — approximately $1 USD. Ironically, the leak helped to expand the film’s reach, with people who had seen it multiple times eventually flocking to theaters when it finally opened, thereby cementing the success of Padilha’s epic.

But where something like “Star Wars” filters its political themes through a fantastical lens, “Elite Squad” is nothing if not nakedly political. From the filmmaker’s premise to the audiences’ response, Padilha’s film is built entirely around the social, economical and criminal realities of a country whose consumer population has little patience for provocative art, and is frequently antagonistic to it. Mainstream Brazilians, let me tell you, do not often like to see our country’s worst qualities reflected on the biggest possible canvas. Brazilian directors are often criticized by non-cinephiles, and particularly those on the right, as activists who are too focused on social issues. Long, hard looks in the mirror, especially as local theaters become more and more dominated by Hollywood blockbusters, are quickly discarded as “woke.”

And yet, here is a commercial mega-hit that does just that in no uncertain terms. Revisiting the film from the perspective of today’s fractured landscape, such a thing feels almost unfathomable — and worthy of recognition, even if the success of “Elite Squad” can be owed as much to its flaws as it is to its strengths.

so to this day I have watched the Last Wish twice in theaters in French dub and once online in its original dub. Both versions are equally good (even Puss' voice actor did a great job at imitating Banderas' iconic accent without sounding caricatural) but there are a few things about the dub in particular that just Got It Right

- when Puss buries his clothes and cries during his fake eunology, he doesn't sing "who is your favorite fearless hero? you were...you were" but instead "who is the most fearless hero ? not you...not you." which is a very little variation but like...OUCH???

- Goldi and the Three Bears as a whole. They sounded amazing. They really went from the cute british criminals to the loud French family from the country and it just works so well

- when Kitty Patte de Velours (yeah her name is Kitty Velvet Paws and it's very badass) hands Potté the gatito blade (his name should have been Botté but at the time Shrek 2 was made they couldn't change his signature P into a B, so Puss in Boots kind of became Cat in Poots. so his name is Poots. it means nothing. it's hilarious.), he says "it's cute?" instead of "thank you" and he sounded so awkward for some reason, funny as hell. Bro was whipped.

- the Wolf. good god. the Wolf. Wagner Moura did amazing in the original version but...THE WOLF SOUNDS SO MUCH SCARIER. HE CAN GET SCARIER PEOPLE. THE ACTOR HAS THIS DEEP MENACING, WEIRDLY SEXY VOICE THAT JUST MAKES YOUR SOUL TREMBLE. and for the whole time my friends and I were wondering where we had heard that voice before, because it sounded so recognizable. And well. It's the same guy who dubbed Moto Moto in Madagascar 2. It's the exact same voice and tone. Except Moto Moto is a serial killer now. I'll never get over this I think.
