Marighella (2019)
10/10
Great movie, rating affected by far right Brazilian raters
12 May 2021
This is a great movie, an eye opening bio-pic detailing the story of this controversial figure in recent Brazilian history.

It's full of historían approved data, biographically irrefutable events, a story that makes sense from beginning to end and an amazing cast delivering great interpretations and emotions.

Now, how come the low score? Well, that's because of the political situation in Brazil, the divisiveness between left and right, with a far right ex-military president who actually defends the dictatorship against which Marighella fought and was a victim of. His supporters come here, without even having watched the movie, since way before the movie was officially released, and trash it in the reviews.

I'm giving it a 10/10 to help raise its score, but truthfully it might actually deserve something like an 8/10, because it does suffer from some overly emotional or dramatic parts that most Brazilian movies do.

Still, a great movie worthy watching.

Think about it: If it raised such an enormous response, that far right supporters had to come and trash it on the reviews, like little keyboard activists, there's something there...
