  • LÉA SEYDOUX

  • ok

  • @thecultbox, Camilo Castelo "Brancho"? Correct is "Branco"... "Camilo" is male for Camile, "Castelo Branco" is literally "white castle" in Portuguese.

  • Já cá faltavam brasileiros a espalhar diarreia...

  • Thank you for the upload thecultbox. I have been a huge Raul Ruiz fan for years and years so it's good to see him getting some mainstream, up-front attention. The man is a genius/brilliant director. Hopefully a cinema scholar who is a better writer than myself will write a critical essay/filmography about "Mysteries of Lisbon" to sort everything out.

  • Oh well, '' je ne se pa le france" and don't like reading subtitles so I pas. Anyways how did I get here?

  • @cordoovab it's portuguese you idiot :)

  • @creativoish, How do you say "up u'rs'' in Portuguese? :) lol just kidding. Merry Christmas and Happy new year.

  • @cordoovab

    basically it's " vai para o caralho!"

  • @creativoish lol!

  • "It"

    The movies made here are worst. Nonetheless, it doesn't mean this movie is good. It really has some semblances of a soap opera.

    Less patriotism please. It's just another alternative movie.

  • @danilo1982sp It's not a question of patriotism. Unlike a Soap Opera, this movie is about a Book (a Political Romance). Its a portrait of a sociaty that still exists in Portugal, and that is the true sense of this movie. This is not a movie for foreigners, it's a movie to Portugal. This is a modern critical view of the portuguese, showing them how they have been stuck to the same mistakes since the 18 century.

    Next time get the point instead of acusing others of "patriotism".

  • ¡Descanse en paz, irreemplazable maestro! Lean nuestro tributo al gran Raoul Ruiz

  • I liked the film but I am a historian of that period so that makes my perspective different.

  • Pesado e chato que nem os patrícios.....

  • @sborges433 Comentário parvo e idiota... como os burros...

  • @sborges433 Chato é fazer filmes de época sempre sobre a corte de D. João VI. Chato é achar-se interessante, sem que no fundo se tenha interesse algum. Chato é fazer figura de preconceituoso mesmo em frente de quem se tem preconceito. Chato é uma infinidade de outras coisas que poderiam ser ditas sobre ti sem sequer fazer algo mais que ler o teu pobre e infeliz comentário.

  • The music... has to go.

  • Another Aristocratic NIGHTMARE. DRAMATIC MOVIES ABOUT DRAMATIC RICH PEOPLE. BORING,... just like rich people. FUCKING BORING.

  • @Sentidocomuncabron Surely you must ask yourself, "WHY? Why would anyone make a film they found boring?" And through that line of questioning make the assumption that "they" mustn't find it boring. And then, finally, come to the conclusion that, "I(you) must be missing something; the appeal of such a period drama. The appeal of a narrative through the subtleties of cinema and performance.

    Anyway, it's not like there aren't plenty of films constructed solely around hyper violence and explosions.

  • @sigmonrunner1 Your reply was boring.....:) j/k. But seriously though, there are plenty of hyper violent movies that will only propagate future psychopaths. This "period" movie however, is like any other,... typical and boring. And considering the present economic climate we're in, it's perhaps not a proper movie for current sensibilities. It isn't that I am missing something here, I'm in the mood for,.... more realism rather than fantasy.

  • @Sentidocomuncabron It is hard to make a movie about 18 and 19 centuries in Lisbon without mentioning or picturing rich people. Lisbon was the capital of one of the richst empieres at the time and therfore wide fortunes arose in that city. Books never tell the story of poor and unknown people.

  • @l23722 Perhaps that is the setback here. The question is not so much the validity of such period movies in contemporary times, rather their relevance. Entitlement is severely flaunted here, and due to my family history of wealth and poverty, I find this obnoxiously familiar and repetitive. The question truly is,... what's the point? So they're rich, hypocritical, entitled and boring. Nothing new here.

  • @Sentidocomuncabron No. They are rich, they hide their past, they are representative of the portuguese "way of doing", and an inevitable part of the society. Far from boring, they still represent the elitist view of the portuguese, and therefore they have a political value that somehow, i can understand that you do not understand. More than ever, this movie makes sense in Portugal.

  • I sounds bad. Good picture , but horrible plot.

  • @danilo1982sp Horrible, is not to understand a "plot" that have a political interveinance, obvious to someone with a little higher degree of portuguese history. Surely, i can't espect that from someone wich the country only produces Soap Operas and think that Camilo Castelo Branco is not worth reading.

  • im portuguese and this is portuguese proud right away
