As much as I love the song "Comida", from the classic Titãs album "Jesus Não Tem Dentes No País Dos Banguelas" and admiring the video concept presented here
I had a hard time accepting how the song was presented in the video. I hated what I heard, in fact. I was expecting to hear the single as it is but somehow the makers
of the video decided to make some weird editing with reverse effects to follow the fast forward and fast rewind effects of the images and the song got destroyed in
such a brutal manner that the most faithful listener of the single and the band will hate such device.
Yet I'm enthusiastic about the video because of its visual representation of Titãs inside a supermarket messing around with everything, either shopping the
products, mostly food for obvious reasons, or shoplifting or dropping the products on the floor. It greatly follows about the human necessity for food but not just
the physical one that keeps healthy and sustained but also the ones that feed the mind, the ones that brings pleasure or everything that kills our will, needs and
desires. The everlasting question for consumption and what everyone needs in order to survive and have some fulfillment in life. The parody of Campbell's Soup - shown
as Campo Belo Soups with the band jumping between the tin cans is a priceless sequence that should be considered as one of the most definitive moments from Brazil rock
clips. Too bad it came from a period where videos were at its infancy so people barely know about this partcicular sequence, and if compared to everything that would be
created in following decades, the quality got better in countless ways - easy example from same group comes from the video of "Isso" with Paulo Miklos walking around with
an elephant, iconic video from the early 2000's.
It'd get a higher note with me if the actual song was included as the real background for the song rather than some weird remix of sorts of it. Even the unplugged
version in the 1990's works better than this version. Other than the song presentation, the video is worthy of view due to its concept and presentation of elements, which
aren't corny as many videos of the period used to be at the time. 7/10.
