Street Children in Sao Paulo, Brazil - Pixote (part 1 of 13)

[Peace2011yes]

Europe wants Brasil to get some of the Greek Bonuses, wish is buying Monopoly money, poverty is not a big issue in Brasil anyway. The rich asking help to what they just to call the third world, now countries of concern.

[PaulJhonson100]

Warning: both are low continuation of my comments!

read from the bottom up!

Thank you!

[PaulJhonson100]

, but only 20% of the population! the poor are criminals, the rich are much worse! Believe! the good thing about it is that no differences in white and black, and they are mixed in these colors! Mail as well as all, Brazil is a beautiful country!

Hugs for everyone!

[PaulJhonson100]

Brazil is not still not the same thing! He's worse! Mainly Sao Paulo and Rio de Janeiro! Most Brazilians are rogues and Trailer Trash! Criticano I'm not! Just telling you the truth, I know this because I've been there! The country is still trying to hide the truth! know that movie City of God and Carandiru? not show even one-third of reality! My God .. that country has only beautiful women, the more they are the same thugs throughout the rest of Brazil! course dierentes that has people...

[radiovaral]

Ten years ago, there were 600 street children in Sao Paulo, a state with 50 million inhabitants.

ESTA VEZ, POR FIN LA PRISIÓN, TE VA A GUSTAR!!

[pescoboca]

this movie is very old, very thing there has changed ... This was a time of crisis with many difucults

[mpearson82]

Is the rest of this film available on youtube?

[Hljakes]

great movie

[betopernambuco1]

South and southeast Brasil is same A'frica 100%. Brasilian's trash

[Neto19911]

@betopernambuco1 e depois dizem que não tem racismo no Nordeste

[Dani180476]

Poxa vida, assim vc corta o barato da gente de querer ver o filme!!!!! cade os capitulos 2 e 3 cara?!

[Doombot85]

Another good Brazilian movie to check out : City of God !!

[BadBoo22]

@Doombot85 fuckinn AMAZING movie..

[hellbent130]

this info is very old the country has almost 192 million people now . This is some very old 1970 or 1930 information.

[JCambrussi]

120 million? Sao Paulo with 70% of the GDP? It's so weird, I don't recognize that country!

[Cecinovis]

@JCambrussi

This mivie is 30 years old. Nowadays, Brazil has about 190 million people, and the GPD is not so concentrate anymore. Fortunately, life conditons here is getting better and better, but, unfortunately, Brazil still have a lot of social problems. But it is very better than 1981.

[vid1815]

This video is too old!

[NaoSouNando2006Nao]

The Jewish Rat Hector Babenco. Theses rats always make money out of garbage. Hector Babendo, the Brazilian Jerry Springer. The sadistic Jew should be banned from making money out of poverty. Kill the Rat!!!

[Einvestigator96]

@NaoSouNando2006Nao Hey dude you are wrong, he didn´t want to make money out of street children. He wanted to make the audience realize of the situation in Brazil and give the kids a future in movies. And what´s this all about jews and rats, It´s just barbaric.

[martinezmarcio1]

@Einvestigator96 i agreee

[LucioBottos]

O Brasil esta numa guerra civil entre pobres e “ricos”.

Não percebem que moram ao lado de favelas, que seus filhos não podem sair na rua, que pagam pela falta de liberdade, e trabalham em média 5 meses do ano só para pagar impostos que nunca são retornados à sociedade. Acham legal dirigir carros importados, com as janelas fechadas e portas trancadas, em ruas esburacadas e com medo de serem assaltados no farol, pelo mesmo negro que eles ignoraram a vida toda.

A ignorância é a felicidade.

[mikebeozonte]

Nunca ouvi tanta mentira assim, pqp.

BRASIL NAO TE TROCO POR NADAAAAA!!!



[Pepper6464]

FUCK BRAZIL. Brazil deserves to have their children taken away from them. 

[dancesongraves]

Thanks for posting.

[BACHrroco]

Propaganda nao, seria anti-propaganda.

[BACHrroco]

O Brasil é imenso, maravilhoso e tenho pena daqueles que envolvidos nestes cliches nao venham vivenciar in loco a grandiosidade impar deste pais, viajando de norte a sul para perceber o planeta terra em suas raças, cores e costumes resumido num unico pais, cosmopolita pais. Seria o Brasil um pais-mundo? Acho que sim, entao venham conhece-lo e esqueçam falsas propagandandas, ainda mais este video paleozoico!

[BACHrroco]

Se depender de certos miopes que desejam denegrir, vendendo falsos esteriotipos do Brasil no exterior nosso pais continuara sendo visto como uma extensao da Africa ou dos moribundos de Nova Delhi, India. Me poupem de tanta burrice e incompreençao caramba. Basta.

[BACHrroco]

Meus amigos, esse documentario serve de introdução ao estudo de paleontologia pois já tem quase um um terço de seculo...do tempo que o Lula ainda tinha os cinco dedos da mao esquerda. Época triste para o Brasil aquela, moratoria economica, hiperinflação, oh god..

O problema maior de sao paulo hoje chama-se planejamento urbano porque os demais estao ao poucos amenizando-se. O Brasil crescea porque o centro-sul do pais e principalmente Sao Paulo detem a liderança deste processo.

[dicorabelo]

HAUHAUAHUAHAUH ISSO È Só portugay que bota essa merda porque eles não olho para pais deles!!

[traxelable]

@ MsWeber: You are so wrong! Babenco himself said a short time ago, the situation of the thousands and thousands of street children in Braszil today is even worse than in his film PIXOTE from 1980!!

[KaliYugaForKiX]

causei m sure you you weber, know first hand how much better off they truly ARe

[reliquias1980]

esta es un pelicula pedofila con tendencias homosexuales,debe ser desterrada

[MsWeber2009]

This video is totally false for 2010. According to UNICEF, 99% of brazilian children attend to school, and there is only 9.000 street children in a population of 200 million....

[Pepper6464]

@MsWeber2009 Brazilian children may attend schools but how good is their quality of education and quality of life. Are they taught by convicted criminals? Do they have enough educational materials like books, supplies, classrooms, desks, and chairs? Do they have enough food to eat to fuel their brains in the morning?

[MsWeber2009]

That was in 1976...

[300359alann]

Much better? Cidade de deus is old hat compared with the power the drug cartels have now in the favelas, the latest weapons, etc.

[pokazaniev]

quoi?

[muchachinho]

Sei muito bem oque os estrangeiros falam sobre o Brasil, já tive serios atritos aqui com muitos, mas sinto que isso já mudou bastante. Agora uma pergunta, se nós näo tentarmos mostrar uma outra cara do Brasil, você acha que a midia internacional irá se preocupar? Acho sim que os paulistanos tem o direito de impor respeito e mostrar orgulho pela cidade.

[muchachinho]

Eu näo poderia esperar essas palavras de um outro brasileiro, tinha que vir de um carioca "orgulhoso". Pois bem, obrigado pela diga, mas já faco isso aqui na europa há 10 anos.... e mais uma vez lhe digo, vá ler um pouco sobre a cidade de Säo Paulo rapaz, pare de passar vergonha.

[muchachinho]

Never represented???? Ohhh baby you don't really know what you are talking about. Säo Paulo já obteve uma alta no PIB que chegou a 70% do PIB nacional... de uma linda e veje qual foi o estado que levou o Brasil a frente com a esportacäo do café. Näo vou descutir, somente guarde essa informacäo. Ahhh e näo esqueca, Säo Paulo é a maior e mais rica cidade do Brasil!!!!!!!

[lamplola]

EXCLUIDODIGITAL is the brazilian video from 2010 rsrs ehehe!

[ikelaw]

This video was made in 70´s... We are in 2010

[zhivago295]

There is a huge difference between Brazil now and then. Though we cannot neglect the problem, Brazil is a whole different place now.

[coluxos]

my brother, let me talk to you in Sao Paulo God is a mark of one hundred

I am speaking, here is another reality, you can leave the slums, the slum but you never will! go

[jessicalpita]

Gosto do filme. Todos os paises tem problemas com a pobreza- todos. Estou aprendendo portugues porque gostro da cultura brasilera- todos os paises sou um poco da merda vale. Beijo Brasil

[jodaco22]

Cidade horrorosa, pais de merda com politicos ladroes, corrupcao e tantos aos. Que vergonha do descaso no Brasil

[patacatu]

São Paulo doesnt have 70% of the contrie's national product, but 30 %

And this video isn't from nowadays, but from 1981!

Please, be reasanable. These things in Brazil had changed.

[muchachinho]

What!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! But of course Sao Paulo had 70% of the contrie´s national product. You baby don´t know what you are talking about.. You should learn better about Brazil.... Tenho que aturar até isso, meu Deus do céu.....

[patacatu]

guy, research it before talking about. go to IBGE website. probably you are from são Paulo for saying this madness.

[huricaneherb]

brazil a country of glaring contrasts makes africa look like... a joke...

[jrbrandon]

Makes Africa look like a joke? What does that even mean?

[omfgyahh]

actually africa is in 10X worse shape. You need to get your facts straight. Im from Brazil. Not to diss or say anything bad about Africa because its a beautiful continent.

[hotladhere]

Got a vhs copy

[saanzacs]

Strong, power movie!!!!

[Loisl66]

Como sempre brasileiro mesmo divulga a pior imagem do seu pais pelo mundo!

Não falo deste filme antigo falo dos comentarios aqui. Parabens compatriotas!

[brazilpower9]

Video antigo e com informações erradas, SP não tem 70% do pib do Brasil

[ALBERTO2212]

sim, São Paulo tem um terço do PIB do país

[ladislauns]

esse é o começo do filme "Pixote - A lei do Mais Fraco"... De 1981 se não me engano...

[EdiotTom]

it's a old video at the time SP did have 70% pib do Brasil.

[CubistCafe]

your politicans in the north are corrupt and steal the money for socal projects.

Then the uneducated poor have more kids and use crimes like kidnapping to stay alive.

Then these same poor people vote the corrupt politican back into office.

Just like in the United States.

[Greenstain420Brazil]

every country in the world have their corrupt ones.

[seetherage]

in the north? so in the jungles?

[flatsignedbooks]

look at StreetWise documentary, Seattle's runaways

[barbarapeter100]

um monte de gringo tá dizendo aí que o brasil é todo assim e que é o país mais miserável do mundo, mas nada a ver, temos muita miséria mesmo, mas no brasil não existem só favelas e gente passando fome não. e tem muitos outros países bem piores

[seetherage]

Eles gostam de apontar as coisas ruims. Mas se parar para pensar, fazemos o mesmo com eles sem ter a minima nocao de como a vida e(h) la para eles.

ps:esse filme e(h) velho.

[AlfredoNader]

Hector Babenco é argentino, ele não é brasileiro.

Hector Babenco is from Argentina, some people think he's brazillian.

[magritte74]

Pixote was released in 1981.

[Glidescube]

what year is this movie?

[jstarang1]

is the elton john song street kids inspired by this???

[Wildcock23]

Wow, I've waited over 10 years to see this movie....... it's nearly impossible to find it in America (and I won't spend $90 dollars for the DVD)....... THANK YOU for posting (I see this was added over a year ago too! :)

[YusukeEvil]

eles favavam desse jeito mesmo?

muito diferente de hoje

[Jaws5510]

Gross! Why??

[lucianoliveiraguedes]

A verdade é cruel, a situação piorou, o brasil e principalmente sÃO paulo ainda trata os mendigos e os menores como lixo, pixote foi um exemplo e um grito de alerta que não foi ouvido por aqueles que estão no poder. Passem no pátio do colégio de madrugada e vejam a quantidade de pessoas que vivem nas ruas... É a verdade crua!

[vinceandwinlove]

This documentary really show the problem of our society for all the street cchildren in the world.I am a filipino and i think we can come up a filipino version of this film here in the philippines and show this to our government who is actually responsible for our children especially those living below the poverty line.I appreciate the directors way of creating this wonderful short film.Accept the fact that this is one of the worst problem of our society today.Gracias - Vicente from Philippines

[caiobasilio]

Muito velho, mas é muito velho mesmo! Ainda bem que esse quadro melhorou bastante! Mas o nordeste ainda precisa de ajuda.

[kahlschlag17]

Hi,

I would like to adopt some of those children and help them to a better life. Does anyboddy know if that is possible and how?

[costaarno]

Hector Babenco ganhou muito com Pixote, graças a ele, tornou-se um cineasta conhecido mundialmente. Ele poderia muito bem ajudar o garoto sair da vida que vivia.

[wanmj55]

Sobrevivendo no Inferno.

Refrigere minha alma e

guia-me no caminho da Justiça.

[notlqueen]

MTO OBRIGADA POR ISSO FILME!! Trabalho mto no Brasil c/ os meninos de rua.

[ladykhalia]

This is the saddest film I have watched so far

[donal56]

this is the main reason why i and millions of others around the world rate brasil as the most brutal most hellish society on earth

[latewatcher1]

look brazil isn't all like this only about 5 % percent or t less is like this

brazil has one of the highest literacy rates in southamerican (2nd) and the highest life expectancy in south america btw there are also areas in the u.s.a especially in the midwest

[ezangiacomi]

Brazil has a great economy. THere aren't starving children running around every facet of the country. And everyone is literate. According to news reports, there are only millions of homes being foreclosed in the US. There are US citizens in the ghettos like Detroit, New Orleans who are struggling to make ends meet and live off of food stamps. And as far as a hellish country, NO ONE outside the United States wants anything to do with the US. The US has the worst reputation and image worldwide.

[ERIELACKU34CH]

ive travelled to 18 countries in the world and ive never heard any anti-US sentiment. It's just a media creation. I'm always treated like a celebrity and I'm just a regular guy.

[lisauben]

Come to British Columbia and start talking about how much you love your president. You'll get a different reception. American's that don't show disrespect for other people's culture and beliefs are generally treated OK, but loud boorish people are treated in kind. There is anti-US sentiment in Canada over the pressure your government puts on us to change our drug laws to mirror yours. There are a lot of other issues (our borders, gay marriage, etc.) that we dispute with your government as well.

[ERIELACKU34CH]

if you live close to new york city. go to kims underground video. they have this and alot of other foreign and independent movies there.

[sakara18235]

tho, kims were in the news months ago for, allegedly, bootlegging (not that there's anything wrong with that). pauline kael liked this movie, for all it's worth (tho she hated dirty harry, and kubrick's 2001).

[thenewrapstyle]

fantastic post! thanks so much!!! been searching for this movie.

[4crows]

The young boy is played by Fernando da Silva he was 11 when the film was made & like all the actors in the film grew up on the streets. He hawked lottery tickets with his mother & siblings & was one of ten kids. After the film was made he got in trouble with the military police, Supposedly being harrased. In 1987 when he was 19 The MP raided his home, he was playing cards at the time & hid under a bed. He was shot seven times. I learned this from a book by Peter Robb

[mbatang]

Thanks for the information.

[4crows]

Your welcome..20 years later..."city of god" a movie based on the book by Paulo Lins also uses residents of that infamous Rio favela as actors. The boy who rises up to run the drugs in that film never received any royalties. Shortly after the film toured the world he was arrested in a police chase on the beachfront of Rio.

[digobrasilia]

Yeah but the approach of city of god is completly different. Pixote uses some residents of favela and very good actors of Brazil in a great movie not only a realistic movie as city of god. This last one is based upon people from the favela to show realit and the screen is very poor but the Pixote's one is great. i'm braziliam so I know that the translation of this videos are terrible and make the movie looses its great poetical lines.

[sjofarthotellet]

whew! hadn't seen it in awhile. still bums me out hard!

so if thats fernando ramos da silva in the intro, then when was this film shot, i wonder? also another heavy film of merit is rodrigo d. Apparently all of the main actors(who were not actors) were murdered shortly after the films release. i think i read that somewhere...

[tmrbras]

Pixote is PUNK!

Pixote, a Lei do mais Fraco

[footballdemocracy]

This film is good. You're so awesome to be sharing it with all of us.

[DanielTheWalrus]

this is a masterpiece!!

Where's the second part??

[cosmos34]

This is one of my top five favorite movies of all time -- love it. It's also the saddest film I've ever seen.

[ManoWill]

By the way I bet this movie is better than "Salaam Bombay" or whatever it's called

[mbatang]

As I said, both are great films. I've posted the entire Pixote since it is not readily available commercially. Films that are available such as Salaam Bombay I've only posted clips from to encourage viewers to buy them. A portion of the proceeds from Salaam Bombay, for instance, continues to support the Salaam Balaak Trust, which operates extensive street children projects in India.

[centrodeencontro]

I ordered Pixote last year on Amazon

[tostayosko]

Thank you so much for posting this, I have been looking EVERYWHERE for it and no luck.

[ManoWill]

My parents are originally from Sao Paulo but I was raised in the States...They both came from poor families (granted not as poor as the families depicted here). I've always wanted to watch this film but have had a hard time locating it. I appreciate the fact that you uploaded the entire movie. Did you have to get any special authorization to do so?

[ManoWill]

First off, I was born and raised in the United States...So IT IS my country...Second of all, who the hell are you to judge me? You don't even know me...I've been to Brazil on several occasions and have helped poor people there on a number of occasions, which is probably way more than you ever have or will...You just want to get a rise out of people huh? Boy, you must be a miserable person...If anything you're the one living the high life..You're ignorant... I should lend you $ to buy some class

[lisauben]

That donal56 might have been a troll.

[heithmann]

Don't worry with him! He's probably some brazilian teenager with low self-respect! Or just plain stupid!

[ezangiacomi]

"why dont you go back to brazil your country and try to help the street kids instead of living the high life in the states NOT your country"

That video is obviously way old. And to be exact, there are 13.7 million people in the US who live BELOW poverty lines. Apparently Americans aren't all wealthy. Word of advice, do some research before you start to speak. It will make you sound a little more convincing...

[centrodeencontro]

The best film about children in my opinion is Salaam Bombay. It inspired me to begin with the Centro de Encontro project in Mozambique.

[mbatang]

It's a toss-up - they're both great films.
