Watch Trash For Free

It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional

At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

As a tale of young teens struggling against corrupt forces within a culture of poverty, 'Trash' is a captivating tale of determination, ingenuity, and moral vision. The production values are particularly high here, which I can't help but consider against the squalid conditions that are portrayed. The story moves along with lots of twists and a complex set of clues to unraveling a mystery, giving the kids credit for their intelligence.There's always facile criticisms to be made of wealthy white movie studios shooting films that exploit "Third World" concerns, so if your politics demand such sanctimony, you should turn to homegrown dramas that you can claim as authentic. If you want a well-made adventure offering hope to children who earn deliverance on their own within realistic circumstances, there are not many better than this.

I'm Portuguese and i speak reasonably well English. So i was able to watch this movie with no subtitles. Thanks God! The subtitling was awful, translating Portuguese to English. How can i resume this movie? Tropa de Elite meets Da Vinci Code? Weird no? No, nothing like that. This is an amazing picture of poverty, hope, friendship and trying to do the right thing, no matter what. It's hard to me to explain why i loved this movie. But i have no trouble to explain the main message: Brazil is a corrupt and dangerous country, not because of the common thieves, of the poor people, but because of the corrupt police and the rich and powerful people. A poor thief could steal a couple of bucks, a rich one could steal millions.

As the film starts, we see a respectable man at the funeral of a young girl before being pursued and caught by corrupt police working for a politician. He throws a wallet onto a passing trash lorry, and it ends up at the dump where it is picked up by Raphael, a young scavenger. From here, Raphael and his two friends Gardo and Rato pursue the clues which the contents of the wallet offer them, even as they are being pursued by the police.You may see this Portuguese language film promoted as a Martin Sheen / Rooney Mara movie: don't be misled. Sheen and Mara are a bit more than blink-and-you'll-miss-'em, but not by much. This film belongs to the youngsters at its heart, and particularly Rickson Tevez as Raphael. The film is set entirely in the slums of Rio de Janeiro, and has an incredible sense of atmosphere. The kids are engaging and very naturalistic. The plot is a bit cookie-cutter, but is still effective and suspenseful.I wasn't terribly convinced by the ending, but I enjoyed it nonetheless.

Straight out of a political corrupt and disastrous World Cup in Brazil this adventurous and mysterious drama portraits society and the way of life in Brazil. With all it's hierarchy, various social-classes and elitism best friends and street-boys Gordo, Rapael & Co turn whistleblowers and fight for what they believe is right. While running through out the night on the roof tops of the favela chased by the police and dirty politicians they stay true to their beliefs and the people who mean the most to them. Keep an eye on the star in the making Rickson Tevez who plays Raphael. The young boys are amazing little actors just like their role models in modern classics such as City of God and City of Men. Martin Sheen, Rooney Mara and the brilliant Brazilian actor Wagner Moura all star in this heart warming adventurous full speed crime drama which has a great ending to it. / Peter A Eldon. 2014-10-24.
