Elite Squad 1 was a huge sucess in 2008. A brazilian Golden Bear in Berlin! A lot of brazilian fans! Lines from the movie got in daily life. I loved this film. Loved... in past. Now, we have Elite Squad 2, today at the theater!

After my own most personal violent experience, a kidnapping at 31st of December of 2009. I change myself and my view about violence and about Elite Squad.I'll watch this movie for sure... My concern is the simplicist view that violence can be understood, as it happened with Elite Squad1. Violence was treated with more violence and there is a happy end...!
In real life, an old policial officer chief with a cerebral hematoma told me in his hospital bed, the secrets to reduce violence in Brazil would be: Education, Health and Safety... just safety by killing "the bad guys", it is a videogame illusion. More bad guys will appear if you don´t fix the other parts of the chain... and they will take your girlfriend or they will shout you in your face.
Violence is an important subject seen for most of people just in the which way is the best for protect themselves... if this way of protection is not well worked, the fear will grow and we will be prisioners.
Dedicated to Cassio...for making me shut up in the police station when I was screamming: "Now, who will give me my sense of freedom back again?"
