Es algo que siempre me molesta. ¿Es necesario mover tanto la cámara? No digo que no se pueda hacer cámara en mano, ¿pero tan exageradamente rápido? Es como una carrera por meter más planos y más veloces cada vez. No se consigue así el ritmo, pero parece que está de moda y hasta que no se pase, habrá que aguantarloLa película en general la ves y vale, te la crees, pues sí. Pero, no sé, no da para más. No es que me interese mucho.Hay ratos que me sobran, lo cual la hacen larga. Tiene demasiada voz en off. No consigo entrar cuando me cuenta una voz en off en vez de la película.Los actores, no sé si serán todos profesionales, pero si te los crees, aunque no creo que los malos, no sean más malos en la realidad.La iluminación no es mala, pero tendría que ser mejor. Meterte más de lleno.El director, a mí no me gusta. Hay veces que no veo lo que pasa, por su cámara. No por moverla más rápido se da más ritmo. No consigue atraparme y me sobra película.A ver como es la segunda parte, pero me temo que será peor. It's something that always bothers me. Is it necessary to move the camera so much? I'm not saying that you can not make camera in hand, but so overly fast? It's like a race to get more planes and faster each time. The rhythm is not achieved in this way, but it seems that it is fashionable and until it is over, it will have to be enduredThe film in general you see it and it's okay, you believe it, so yes. But, I do not know, it does not give for more. It's not that I'm very interested.There are moments that I have left over, which make it long.It has too much voice in off. I can not get in when he tells me a voiceover instead of the movie.The actors, I do not know if they will all be professionals, but if you believe them, although I do not believe that the bad guys are not worse in reality.Lighting is not bad, but it should be better. Get in more fully.The director, I do not like it. Sometimes I do not see what happens, because of his camera. Not by moving it faster is given more rhythm. He can not catch me and I have a movie left over.Let's see how the second part is, but I'm afraid it will be worse.

I skipped through the movie because it was in Portugese and not dubbed in English. Now this would not be a problem, if the whole movie was in Portugese or the whole movie in English, but the narration is in English and the People talk Brazilian, like it's some kind of documentation, but then again, even in documentation Portugese people get dubbed and get an English voice. If the whole movie was in Portugese I would just watch with English subtitles and would understand that they haven't even tried to dub the movie because Brazilian people talk so fast and it's not made for the English language. But it is not the case and I don't want to listen to br br br and hue hue and let someone explain me what is going on in English. The plot might be good but I will pass on this one.This is my first review please upvote.

Captain Nascimento is a BOPE agent, a special team who uses any mean for fighting the favelas organized crime. He is the observer and the narrator of the movie, this is something that must be bared in mind. Who is watching the movie has to be aware the truth has many faces. The point of view presented here could be seen as a fascist simplification of a BOPE agent, the whole favelas social context is indeed very complex however there is truth also in this. It is true that the drug market is partially founded also from the intellectual mid-class who buy the drug, it is true also that is not always good to employ everyone and sometimes a small group of well-trained men is more effective of a thousand untrained.

Life and death are separated by just a moment. We choose to live in a certain way, to achieve specific goals. When all is said and done, though, will we be happy with all we've accomplished?Working as a police officer surrounded with gangs and crime is a daunting task. Knowing tomorrow could very well be your last day is a fact that will haunt your personal life and remain with you while on duty. Then realizing your own fellow officers and superiors are supporting corruption is an even harder pill to swallow. Frequently we risk our lives fighting for the good cause; attempting to preserve peace in a land filled with turmoil. Sometimes it's hard to discern which side is doing that. BOPE is an extreme special forces unit of the military police designed to handle conflicts with lethal measures. Every day these officers, who are parents, spouses and siblings to others, risk their lives and the lives of others in the name of justice. After extensive fighting and anguish, it comes to a point where you question the efficacy of your work. All the lives you have permanently altered, loved ones you have taken away and the effect this has had on your own family. Whether BOPE or a more rudimentary strategy to decrease crime rates is better is subject to debate for another discussion, but the impact BOPE has on the lives of innocent civilians, both positively and negatively, is remarkable. At the end of the day, after all is finished, will you have fought the good fight? Was there a better, more effective, approach? Tropa de Elite is an enlightening film, not for the violent tactics used or exposure of urban warfare in favelas, but because it reveals the lives of those involved and how they significantly influence each other.
