>"Missão dada é missão cumprida."
This is a masterpiece in Brazilian cinema. As someone who is from Brazil and came from poor areas near the slums in my city, I could relate to a good chunk of this movie. It highlights so much of what happens on both sides and Capitão Nascimento is one of my favorite characters of all time.
