Review of Black Orpheus (1959) by Julie O — 17 Nov 2015
Orfeu Negro portrays the essence of Brazilian cultures, especially that of Rio de Janeiro and the excitement that surrounds yearly Carnaval! The warmth and excitement of the Brazilian culture exudes throughout the movie (except the scary and sad parts).
The people that live in the Favelas in the hills and mountains of Rio have life a lot harder financially and so Carnaval is a day to forget all of that and just live in joy, have the most fun ever - it's a beautiful thing.
It's my very favorite movie ever! The original black and white one. (I do not like the newer one "Orfeu." Much too violent and the acting isn't so great and it just doesn't have the magic that the classic original does and will always have.
HIGHLY RECOMMEND THE ORIGINAL B&W ORFEU NEGRO!! A+++++++++++++++++ DEMAIS!!!
