Alphaville 2007 d.C.

A fun dark comedy that pays tribute to Godard's classic sci-fi film "Alphaville" but this time showing a possible reality rather than a fiction.

In São Paulo there's an actual district named Alphaville where rich people live and work and in this movie a place most likely to be invaded by a poor and lonely cowboy who attacks the rich, those clueless minds that don't pay much attention to the sensationalism crimes that takes place in São Paulo everyday. They are about to know that progress can cross a bridge and the poor people will invade homes to show that 100% of security can't make you safe against threats and violence.

Here, Godard's film is shown in some parts to talk about how things are accomplished in a futuristic society. Tv host Datena appears on a cameo talking about the crimes that happen in Alphaville while the lonely cowboy goes on a crusade against rich people and making a social/political commentary during his invention on the home of the secretary of public security home (a quite funny moment though).

"Alphaville 2007 d. C." shows the decadence of a society build as a prison in order to mantain the danger on the outside. It's a controversial political statement the movie makes with its poignant and truthful message against the bourgeoise and the distance they have with the poor and they try to keep away. As reality shows, it's very difficult for one to feel safe against threats and kidnappings. But in Alphaville they try with no success. The humor elements of this crazed story makes it all more interesting. 10/10.
