Thanks! Brazil 5 times champion! Next World Cup will be here! Last one was in 1950. We lost in the final game to Uruguai (1 x 0 at the very end of the game), a day that will always be infamous in Brazilian soccer history. The mood here is like a vengeance!
By the way: Lalyil, you're a babe! m4: Badass tattoo!

Well, maybe we can work something out
Didn't know you're from Brazil. Damn. That's one of the places I'm most interested in. I've recently watched Elite Squad for example. Noted something after I googled more about BOPE.

Hope you can make it here someday, I'm sure you'll like it. So, you saw both of them? did you like it? I think they're both excellent, and in terms of accuracy, it's a 100%, all that stuff happened a few years ago. The stories about the BOPE... hardcore.

Yeah. Both of them and I loved them. Second more than the first because it really shows the bigger picture. As an outsider I think BOPE are needed down there. When I did some research about what's going on out there I found some really sick stuff. Brazil is literally the land of blood and honey (talking about the failed Jolie film). It's such a beautiful country filled with sad stories.

I always worry about the film's popularity outside Brazil, because once I saw an international trailer for Elite 2 and it was like they were selling a Schwarzenneger-Stallone-Segal-Van Damme shitty action flic. You're right about the BOPE, they're a necessary evil. In this ocean of corruption that is the Brazilian government, they became a legend (but unlike our dark hero, they have no rules), some would even say a facist one, but you gotta consider that their world, literally has no rules. Way up in the hills, deep in the slums, it's war.
