## Description

In 1980, Fernando Ramos Da Silva was chosen by director Hector Babenco to star in his cinematic masterpiece: Pixote, the Law of the Weakest. As the film gained worldwide fame, Fernando began to believe that his fortune had changed for the better and that he could permanently leave his poverty behind and pursue a better life through acting. His real-life handicaps however would not allow him to escape his past: he was poor and illiterate. Soon he realized that playing the role in Pixote was only possible because he was, in real-life, matching the characteristics of the character he was portraying in the film (he was playing himself). This film captures the persisting poverty and injustice that dictate the destiny of many Pixotes and is based on the events of his life as recounted in Pixote, Law of the Strongest by Brazilian journalist Loureiro and Pixote No More by Cida Venancio Da Silva (Fernando's young widow).

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    R.I.P. Pixote
  

*by B***T on Reviewed in the United States on March 16, 2014*

If you have never seen Hector Babenco's Pixote, drop everything, cancel your netflix queue, get your hands on it and watch it.  Twice.  Whatever "hardcore" movies you think you have seen about poverty, urban blight, prisons, police brutality, drugs, prostitution, homelessness, etc., this takes 'em all, because it's Brazil, and Brazil very much in the raw.  This movie will change you.  Now, this dvd is not Pixote, it's a docudrama based on the fate of the little boy (a non-actor) who was discovered by Babenco and starred in Pixote.  Watch this one after you watch Pixote and you will see how little Babenco's film fudges the dire reality of Sao Paolo's slum life.  Not for the faint-hearted!  (Neither is Pixote.)  If both films don't make you weep, then I wouldn't want to be on a life raft with you in shark infested waters.
