Vashirdfel Simply A Masterpiece
Livestonth I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible
Marva It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,
Bob This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.
empresario Brazil Corruption Child force Marvelous! One of the most exciting films, with a fast action. Like good books, you will not want it to end. The performance of the children stands out.Few times you can translate the reality and contrasts of a country as achieved in this film.Delicious from start to finish, it will catch you
eddie_baggins Billy Elliot director Stephen Daldry's latest film focused around the younger generation is most certainly not the feel good movie you may have been expecting. After either hearing about Trash or even seeing the films front cover one may be expecting a feel good romp but Trash's greatest success and also in some ways its greatest weakness is the fact that it's not afraid to go dark, real dark making it an uneasy mix between family adventure and dead set violent thriller.A huge step up from Daldry's last big screen adventure (although that's not a grand achievement), Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close, Trash see's the long serving British thespian head to Brazil to direct this effort, a film that in a wide serving way mixes elements of The Goonies, Stand By Me and other children on a mission movies into a quite complicated and often downright bleak story written for the screen by famed writer/director Richard Curtis, creator of Love Actually.Flirting the line between a feel good tale of struggling young Brazilian kids who may just have a chance at a better shot at life than a struggle to make ends meet at the local city garbage dump and a genuine life or death good vs evil tale of political corruption mixed with some torture and murder, Trash isn't afraid to show the darker side to this party locale. From memory I can't recall a film that was so quick to show violence towards children, one particular scene involving an unbuckled backseat passenger in a speeding cop car is easily one of the more uncomfortable scenes you'll witness this year and it sets Trash apart from any of its counterparts for better or worse.At the centre of this sometimes uneasy film in both tone and subject are 3 child performances that really make Trash a film worth tracking down. With no previous before camera acting experience, Rickson Tevez, Eduardo Luis and Gabriel Weinstein excel in their respective roles and create a trio of young lads that we can root for. Surrounded by industry veteran Martin Sheen in the token 'white saviour" role and the always impressive Rooney Mara, these boys are the stars of the show that are only matched by Brazil itself as the films biggest wins.Trash suffers from some form of identity crisis that stops it from ever reaching a great height, clearly backed up the films weak cinematic box office haul and somewhat muted critical reception and if the film had backed itself in as either a pure adventure or a jet black thriller it may've had more chance to really breakout. With some great young performers outshining there experienced co-stars and with Brazil as alive as ever, Trash is still worth your time even though like the dump the boys live in, you'll have to wade through the garbage for your rewards.3 non-cleanly swimming spots out of 5
nurit-horak "Trash" (2014) is a dramatic film that tells of three children in Brazil who collect garbage for a living. One day one of them find a wallet that takes him to an adventure involving corrupt politician, aging prison inmate and an idealistic lawyer. The three, following the male group tradition, become detectives and try to solve the mystery with childlike innocence as they refuse to stop despite the brutality of the policeman that chases them, the damage they cause to their local community and the physical violence that they have to suffer. The three children do not have much to lose, and so they are infused with a sense of saving the world that motivates them until the plot ends. During this adventure two foreigners are helping them: an elderly priest who is busy with fighting with the local authorities (Martin Sheen in a great casting) and his assistance who works as a teacher and gets inside the adventure of the children named Olivia (Rooney Mara from "the girl with the dragon tattoo "). Olivia is the only woman in a major role in the movie and she is surrounded by children, boys and masculinity. Apart from Olivia other women appears on the screen for a few seconds (other women who work in the garbage, the corrupt politician's wife, a cleaner at the politician house or the priest's housekeeper), but these women do not generally have meaningful dialogue. The movie critic the political and police corruption, and shows the hard poverty living but do not forget to be currently relevant and to correspond with the current reality of Brazil's recent demonstrations against the World Cup, but it fails when it comes to female representation on the screen. Although Olivia is a key figure in driving the plot it is not clear why she remains alone in being the only significant female character almost to the end. boyhood films tends to favor boys over girls but to me it seems as if we made some progress from Enid Blyton's books. The criticism of the film is indeed important, but it ignores the fact that women are similarly affected by corruption and poverty and draws a world without women almost completely or portray women who have no voice in the matter. Although it is a good movie with great directing, in a feminist context unfortunately there is not much to say about it.
peter-eldon Straight out of a political corrupt and disastrous World Cup in Brazil this adventurous and mysterious drama portraits society and the way of life in Brazil. With all it's hierarchy, various social-classes and elitism best friends and street-boys Gordo, Rapael & Co turn whistleblowers and fight for what they believe is right. While running through out the night on the roof tops of the favela chased by the police and dirty politicians they stay true to their beliefs and the people who mean the most to them. Keep an eye on the star in the making Rickson Tevez who plays Raphael. The young boys are amazing little actors just like their role models in modern classics such as City of God and City of Men. Martin Sheen, Rooney Mara and the brilliant Brazilian actor Wagner Moura all star in this heart warming adventurous full speed crime drama which has a great ending to it. / Peter A Eldon. 2014-10-24.
