Very Moving Film
A wonderful film, that works on several layers. This is a film about a cynical woman who becomes a “mother” to a young boy who has just lost his mother. Through the course of this film, this woman, Dora, learns to love. The young boy, Josue, learns to live again. Each is so clearly delineated and so clearly defined that the film is a pleasure from beginning to end.Central Station actually beat “Life is Beautiful” at some of the world’s top awards ceremonies for that year, and you can see why. Its acting is superb, and Walter Salles’ direction is with a masterly touch. The cinematography, evoking that desaturated, golden world of Brazil is beautiful – it’s a lesson in itself on how to make an apparently ‘gritty’ world very beautiful. Watch this film.
Powerful and Emotional
This film is uncommonly powerful, with very dark tones but bursting with hope and love. The main character, a jaded and bitter letter writer working in Brazil’s largest train station (Fernanda Montenegro), is suddenly burdened with a kid who eventually wins her over. But unlike the common feel-good comedies with the same setup, Central do Brasil takes the viewer on a sometimes hopeless, openly vulnerable, and powerfully emotional journey. You can really feel the connection between the boy and his new caretaker – you can feel all of her emotions, really, because her acting is just that spectacular. The acting, the camera work, the soundtrack, and the beautifully written story all come together to produce just an amazing movie, well worth watching, that may just jerk a tear from your eye.
