The movie tells the true story of Brazil in the 60's without any political bias.
Just perfect, concrete and sober.
Everyone should watch to understand those days.
1964: O Brasil Entre Armas e Livros can't be called as a Documentary. This is the result of cherry picked facts: there is no storytelling and it also doesn't represent the history. It's a cliche of relativism and denial of the corrupt system maintained by the director's politics idols. There is a sense that there was no wrongdoing in a dictatorship.
For anyone that doesn't live in Brazil, watching this would give you a very incorrect understanding the politics and history.

Until recently, this type of work would have been unthinkable in Brazil. Brasil Paralelo is helping to enlighten Brazilians so that they know the truth of various moments in our history that have been completely altered by the national left in recent decades.
The period before the Counter-Revolution of 1964 is detailed by the Brasil Paralelo team to show that the tentacles of communism were present in much of the world, including Brazil. And that the military response, with the support of most politicians, the press and especially the population, as can be seen in the newspapers of the time, was necessary to prevent a revolutionary dictatorship in Brazil, and as the history of the 20th century showed, it would have devastating consequences in the largest country in Latin America.

Imagine a documentary that praises a dictatorship and tries to sell to the audience an idea that a coup d'etat was benefectful. Looks like a Nazi German piece of propaganda? Surprise, surprise: is a Brazilian film recently released on YouTube. Shameless historical revisionism.
No wonder this documentary never saw a theatrical run. It was posted on YouTube for lack of audiences interests.
