Of course this is not one of the greatest 100 movies of all time, but telling this is a sorry film is missing the whole point. More, I believe the ending is the best part. It gives a meaning to the whole thing. I would give more money to see this movie again, that I would do to watch Lord of the Rings. Cinema is the place where we can build bridges between the world of fantasy and illusion (which is what a movie really is), and the real world in which we live in, and that means giving you a message. The message that I can read from this movie is simple: "We could make the world a better place, but, we're just not ready...yet." It's something that makes me think and I believe that's what a movie should do. If you watch movies just for the fun of it than probably this is not the best movie. Even so, it is quite entertaining.

The Suspect
(2000)
Proud of it
13 February 2001
"A Suspeita" is one of those movies that make me proud of two things. First, proud of the moment in which I first took contact with animated films for the first time, then, proud of being Portuguese and having such talented animators in my country.
This short is one of the best animation movies ever made in Portugal and has certainly, enough quality to be considered one of the best in 2000. It is really worth seeing, specially if you're Portuguese because of the accents, culture and all), and it's also worth buying. The director (José Miguel Ribeiro) proves once again to be one of the greatest animators in Portugal. Great Work!
