The New Pope (2020)
It's just terrible
It's a terrible show. The first season is somewhat incredible, but this season is the worst: almost no story at all, but just sexualised scenes. Everything is just with the intent of scandalising you. It seems the first season was too catholic, at least for nowadays' standard, and they needed to do a second season that wasn't catholic at all. It's not worth your time, it will actually be bad for you to watch this; it's going to pollute your mind only; go watch Transformers 2 because it has more story. If you want to watch it anyway, be aware that you were advised before.
You can read the summary of the episodes on Wikipedia or somewhere else and see that the story is not worth it. I guess because it doesn't have the same writers the first season had, they couldn't write a good one this time.
A Primeira Arte (2021)
Something to make us remember what Music is
The documentary shows how the first art became an industrialised product. The record companies just want as many products as possible to sell them. For this, they will do whatever they need; sexualising music, reducing it to only rhythm, etc. The first art, as it was understood and used for many centuries, suffered a radical change in the last century, and we don't realise it. This documentary is key to understanding what Music should be and what the impacts are on our life and society. Apart from that, it's also a class about the concepts of Music, it made me understand several things about Music theory.
Pátria Educadora (2020)
Extraordinary panorama of education throughout the history
I've learned more about education as a whole than education in Brazil. That doesn't mean it doesn't explain what has happened with education in Brazil, but the documentary is much more than that. As it's the norm with Brasil Paralelo documentaries, they don't give you a brief summary or a superficial critique of the situation. Still, they expound it as deep as they can within four hours of episodes.
The documentary shows how education is getting far and far from its ideal, going from making a man able to understand his own life and deep mysteries of life to making a man an instrument for a political plan or ideology.
Entre Lobos (2022)
The documentary we needed to understand Brazil's situation is not acceptable
Instead of looking at the issue of national safety in Brazil with the ideology glasses, it looks at the raw reality of what is happening in Brazil and not only describes it but shows its deep causes and impacts.
And it doesn't explain the causes via an ideology or an abstract agent, but it shows which people made it and what idea they had in mind. It also contrasts the situation with what happened in other countries.
Nowadays, we see the situation worsening in other countries concerning crime. If these countries don't take action to prevent it, they will get more similar to Brazil, where the criminal is seen as a victim of the system by the judges.
It's very insightful. Anyone who watches it will definitely learn a lot.
