Bolsonaro’s ear burned on the night of the launch of a Globo series, in Rio

Globo begins to return to the “old normal” in the dissemination of its programs and, little by little, the festive meetings of actors with the press return to programming. The most recent of these was in the Rio de Janeiro neighborhood of Leblon, where the cast of the second season of “Cine Holliúdy” met to watch the first chapter of the series, which premieres this Tuesday (23).

Details about the characters, memories of the recordings, new approaches to the plot… all this was a topic there, but the upcoming elections, ah, this was a subject that also animated the conversation circles and the chats in the interviews. That’s when Jair Bolsonaro’s ear (and his allies) burned.

“Brazil needs to get out of this hell it is living in, this carelessness, this despair, this disrespect for people, for the poor”, said Luisa Arraes, one of the protagonists. Daughter of film and TV director Guel Arraes and actress Virginia Cavendish, she has politics in her DNA: she is the granddaughter of Miguel Arraes (1916-2005), cousin of the Pernambuco governor Marília Arraes and the mayor of Recife, João Campos. . “This country deserves much more”, summarizes the actress.

Actor who plays the former mayor of the fictional city of Ceará where the story of Cine Holliúdy takes place, Matheus Nachtergaele even formulated a theory about the current lack of self-esteem and the ability to react in Brazilians. He believes that this inertia is the result of a “policy of giving up”.

“It’s the policy of handing in the stitches. White is white, the poor are really poor, the boss commands and the slaves obey, the Indian doesn’t have to have land and sell chloroquine before the vaccine, beauty”, he explains, adding that this would be the moment “to go back on the suicide vote that elected the current government.”

Nanda Costa follows the same reasoning. He advocates that the next president respect the principles of democracy and prioritize Brazil’s social, environmental and cultural issues. “It’s certainly not this government or the people who share his ideas”, points out the actress, who in the series plays a girl who transforms into Konga, the gorilla woman.

Veteran of politics and historically aligned to the left, the actor, former councilor and former federal deputy for Rio Stepan Nercessian summed up all his indignation in one sentence. “Where did we end up!”

Cine Holliúdy is a tribute to cinema and explores events, symbols and references from the Northeastern, Brazilian and world pop culture of the 70’s. “It’s a popular series, whose flag is the representation of the Northeast. social issues, but the central motto is to shed light on the northeast and the space that our region deserves on Brazilian television”, said the protagonist Edmilson Filho.
