Reality can hurt you so badly…
As a Brazilian that lives in Sao Paulo, the city that serves as the background to 7 Prisoners, I can testify for many cruel aspects that the director Alexandre Moratto depicts in his latest movie available on Netflix.Labor slavering has been a serious issue in Brazil since the distant colonial times to the current days. This country of continental dimensions has a bruising absense of the State, from its distant, remote parts to its huge metropolises, crowded with people from small countryside cities, and immigrants from all over the third world looking for a ceiling, a job, and food.
These evil ingredients result in a very favorable scenario to what we see in 7 Prisoners. Moratto’s vision of this problem is raw and realistic, sculpting a very tridimensional take on both antagonist and protagonist characters.
The moral dilemma lived by Mateus, a victim of this corrupted system, is shocking and heartbreaking, keeping the audience uncomfortable and distressed.
7 Prisoners is not escapist entertainment, and neither the movie will make an effort to be that. There won’t be a hero coming and saving the day, nor a growing journey blessing the protagonist with a common sense of justice and good sense in the end.
This is not a thriller or an action film, this is a depicting of reality as cruel as it is, so if you are not into a realistic take on life facts, this movie is not for you. For the others, breathe deeply and be prepared for 90 minutes of uncomfortable truth. You won’t regret it.
Felt Like Homework
I picked this movie at random only after bailing on “The Harder They Fall” after about five minutes, when I realized that that movie was going to be nothing but glamorized gun violence for two hours. It was the day after the Kyle Rittenhouse verdict, and I really wasn’t in the mood for yet another gun fetish movie.The point is, I came to “7 Prisoners” after I’d already tried and failed to be entertained by something else, and I was in a grumpy mood. So I might not have been in the best frame of mind to watch this grim, harrowing story about forced slave labor in Brazil. I can say that this movie is objectively a good movie, but it felt like homework, like every movie being made right now that isn’t a Marvel or James Bond sequel. Where are those middle ground movies, the ones that are serious enough to be enjoyed by adults but also remember that their primary purpose is to be entertaining? I’m a very socially conscious person, sometimes too much so for my mental health, and I don’t need a constant parade of movies reminding me of how crappy humanity can be. I also want to have fun, but fun, at least intelligent fun, is in short supply in movies right now. Have Covid and Republicans killed all the joy in the world?
