Thanks for watching. Portuguese subtitles have been added.

The film is based on a book by Dr Drauzio Varela, one of the most important figures currently in the country with regard to medical education and social causes. The focus on AIDS is more because it was an epidemic that he saw up close and marked him, both in the prisons here and at the time when he was practicing in NY. There is a lot that goes unnoticed without knowing the whole context of the country: The pavalhão that was invaded was one of the least dangerous and the detainees were, in general, those who had little time in the system, and were more innocent so to speak. Police officers from ROTA entering and killing have more to do with the fact that at the time and during most of the 70-90s, killing was her modus operandi. Another important thing, is that the reason many people recommend the film: We Brazilians have a hateful relationship with those in prison, and their murder by ROTA has long been seen as acceptable. The film kind of took that notion out of a lot of people's heads.

Meu falecido pai consertava elevador, na elevadores Otis, e uns dias depois desse acontecimento no Carandiru, me contou que ele foi consertar os elevadores la no Carandiru , ele me contou que o estado sepultou o poço dos elevadores , e que o cheiro de morte era insuportavel, provavelmente pelo conhecimento dele sobre o lugar ele disse que houve mais de mil mortes lá dentro.

Unfortunately that's exactly what happened. Even the characters were real. The Dr from the film, Drauzio Varela, was the prison Doc. He wrote the book in which the movie was based collecting the statements of inmates. Sad chapter of our history.

Funny story: I got into medicine because of this story. Not the film exactly, but the book it is based on. It's about a doctor that does voluntary work in Carandiru, and every chapter he tells us about an inmate or guard life story, a medical case during the 90s HIV pandemic, and even about what how the first Factions of organized crime (something like cartels, but not the same) came to be because of how shitty the life conditions and human rights of the prisioners were, and, in the last chapters, about the massacre. This book changed my life, because I didn't want to go to finish study anymore and just wanted to be a cook and smoke weed (what isn't wrong if you like it! I still love to doing both things), now I'm doing what I love! hahahahahaha the book wasnt officialy translated to english, unfortunately, but if you have the guts, you should definitely try to read it thru google translator hahahaha

Esse filme e baseado em fatos reais, realmente aconteceu esse massacre ... A mídia fala que foram 111 mortos mas os livros de quem sobreviveu alega que foram muito mais, essa cadeia foi demolida e hj é um parque a céu aberto...parabéns pelo canal seus pontos de vista sobre a nossa culta e muito bacana.

This shit was real, that actually happened.

Amanhecei com sol, 2 de Outubro Tudo funcionando, limpeza, jumbo De madrugada eu senti um calafrio Não era do vento, não era do frio.

i remember i was in high school when this took place.. the news papers displayed all the dead side by side on the floor on front page, so many dead .. so many. it was one of those events that changed most of us to the core. rich or poor. it was a huge impact. the doctor that said that last statement is a very respected figure in brazil to this day. i dont remember this movie very well but the event is stuck in our brains for life.

One of the saddest things is that TO THIS DAY there's still people in brazil who think the cops were heroes and did the right thing. People are bad, man. People are just bad.

Brazilian prisons are pretty much as the movie shows, there are very few exceptions. But back then was not controlled by different national gangs such a Comando Vermelho, Primeiro Comando da Capital, Familia do Norte, etc. It became even more violent but mostly because of these factions fighting for control instead of just police killing everyone once every now and then. The state over here cares not about it's innocent citizens, and much less for incarcerated ones.

I worked two years together with a ROTA policeman who was in the massacre of prisoners seen in the film, of course I never asked anything about what happened that day. He was sentenced to 150 years in prison, but since it was an veredict given to all the policemen that are there that day, he probably must have managed to reverse the conviction later in a solo trial. I don't know if he's still in the police force (he was a firefighter when a meet hin, coll guy....but again, knowing about the carandiru, that feel more strange). Probably what happened was what was shown in the film. In order not to harm Colonel Ubiratã and the governor of São Paulo, they held the trial as long as possible. The trial start 20 years later. ROTA, like BOPE, is the elite of the troop of the Military Police of the state of São Paulo. But the difference is that the track record of abuses and extra-judicial killings is well known in the case of ROTA. There is a book about it here, called ROTA 66: The journalist says in it that 70 policemen were responsible for 70% of all the killing done by the battalion - The number could be as high as 2000, the majority in suspicious situation. So, of all the branches of the police that could have entered Carandiru that day, Rota was the worst choice.

- ULTIMA PARADA 174 - CENTRAL DO BRASIL - O AUTO DA COMPADECIDA - MEU NOME NÃO É JOHNNY - O PALHAÇO

I met one of those "cops" once. He told me how it went down, that it was exactly like the movie, even the "river" of blood. And the way he told me... ...men... ...he was a psico, a killer, It was like he enjoined all that shit, a true sadist!

Man, there is based to real life stories.

Esse filme é baseado em fatos reais e foi uma denúncia que chocou o mundo. Isso mudou a realidade e a violência nos presídios é mil vezes menor pelo menos da parte dos presos. Ainda estamos longe de ter um sistema carcerário levemente humanista e de inclusão mas era infinitamente pior nessa época.

Mano, esse foi sem dúvidas, o filme mais pesado que já assisti. Uma das cenas que mais marcou para mim, foi quando o personagem de Vagner Moura joga água fervendo no personagem de Caio Blat enquanto dorme. Filme muito pesado mesmo.

Os que entregaram as armas eram os que não queriam a rebelião e estavam encurralados nas celas. Eles sabiam que a polícia iria entrar em algum momento, então largaram as armas para os policiais saberem que eles não queriam morrer

Esse personagem do Lázaro Ramos ficou muito foda! Interessante como ele fala dele mesmo na terceira pessoa.

the actor how plays "lady di" (rodrigo santoro) is on westworld as hector.

The "Carandiru" movie was inspired in a serie of chronicles of a real brazilian event. The movie was converted in a Brazilian Serie, with the stories explained separated, like the original book.

Quando tiver legenda eu volto. Adoro você 🥲 Edit: assistia esse filme milhares de vezes há anos atrás e hoje em dia não consigo mais, tenho 0 estômago p ver inteiro. É tudo muito chocante, os atores são ótimos, os enredos, as realidades, a precariedade do sistema, a lei da cadeia, enfim, e tinha esquecido dessa cena que o Wagner moura joga água quente no Caio blat. É muito bizarro!!! Meu Deus! Não sei se vou conseguir me expressar direito, mas é minha interpretação da obra, totalmente pessoal. Ele diz q tudo passa muito rápido, não é cronológico, do nada o cara tava sozinho 30 dias e logo depois já foi solto. No começo tá contando as histórias, vem o futebol, a comemoração e “do nada” o massacre, tudo muito rápido, talvez desconexo. Mas acho q é isso quando se conta ou se vive um massacre, vc ou as pessoas estão ali vivendo suas vidas, seus dilemas, alegrias, ali dentro eles vivem suas próprias leis, resolvem na mão, lidam com coisas q nem imagino mas não estão esperando um massacre. A tragédia nas nossas vidas vem “do nada”, ngm planeja, se prepara ou calcula. Um filme de 2h não consegue contar um livro todo, imagina uma história de dias, anos e lados. Então acho q além do curto tempo tbm é sobre como coisas terríveis, na maioria delas injustiças, acontecem quando não se espera.

Amei o vídeo! Faz react do filme "Estômago". É meu filme brasileiro preferido. Acredito que você vá gostar também 😍

They did an spin off series like this called Carandiru Outras Estórias (Carandiru: another story) and indeed each episode was based on one of the characters we've seen in the movie. Each episode either gives more background into what they did to get into prison or it shows what became of their lives after they survived the massacre. It is a lot like Oz, except they´re based on real accounts that Drauzio Varella heard from real inmates. Drauzio Varela is a famous doctor in Brazil, he wrote the book that based the movie script, Estação Carandiru (Carandiru Station, is a subway station in front of the former penitentiary). Drauzio really worked as a volunteer in carandiru, because he made his career in an upper class hospital in São Paulo, but he also thinks is important to work closer to the poorer populations, so that is why he volunteered in Carandiru in the late 80s, early 90s, during the worst of the AIDS pandemic, because he thought it would be a focus of dissemination of the disease and no one would bother to talk about prevention to inmates. He claims, although he changed the innmates names for the book, cause they admit to some serious crimes, all the stories were real, or at least, he wrote them exactly as he heard them. The commanding officer who is said to have ordered the massacre, Colonel Ubiratan Guimarães, was initially sentenced to 632 years in prison but he was never arrested. He was elected to congress 10 years after the massacre, by voters who considered him a hero for commanding the bloodbath. He was found dead in his apartment in 2006 in an apparent result of a failed robbery, but nothing was stolen. Meanwhile, one of Brazil's biggest criminal organizations toda, the PCC (Primeiro comando da capital or First Command of the Capital) is said to have formed in 1993 as a response to the event, as the surviving prisioners joined forces with other gang members to provide protection against the police.

I remember when i first watched this movie, i was so shocked. I could not believe something like this could happen. But then again i was really young. I know some people who have visited the site where the massacre happened (now it's a museum), and they say there's this really off energy. Idk if it's just projection because they know what happened, but i think it must be unsettling being in a place where so many people died. Also I don't know if you noticed but the actor who played Lady is Rodrigo Santoro. He also plays Hector in Westworld.

Foi pior q isso,mataram mais de 111 ,esse número foi mascarado pelo que me contaram parentes de detentos que eu conhecia na época.Foi muito triste 😢

GG, i don't think you will read this, but I can tell you, the massacre was that way. The father of one of my most close friend was there in the Riot side. It was something of his second week in the riot force who controled rebellions in 1992. Unfortunely, he bragged himself about the numbers and the "points". He also spoke that, in this time, It was a rebellion MUTCH BIGGER and MUTCH MORE BLOODY in Mato Grosso do Sul, but the news didn't show it because of the bad repercution on the Carandiru Massacre. In 2002 I was cursing middle school close to the prision when the government demolished this horrendous building and It was close to a purg in the mind of the city. Know that this monument of incapability from the government was down was awsome. I realy like your reacts because: 1-Its important for Us people of Brazil that this kind of not beatyfull side of our society be shown to the world (MUTCH more today, with this BASTARD PRESIDENT of ours), 2- Its beatyfull notice how the "gringos" react when they see the reality of our contry. Here the media and publicity for the world shows peace and integration, but hide the truth of exploration and encarceration of black/poor people. nearly 40% of our "jail population" (don't know the right term) is in provisional arrest and not sentenced. The MAJORITY of them was caught whit nearly nothing of drugs (I'm lawyer and had a case in whith one guy was caught holding 1 joint) and they are convicted whith drug trafficking. Anyway, I loose myself in the comment. auhauhuahuah Love your channel, keep reacting :) Also, if you want a recomendation, look for PCC's curfew in May 2006, I think you will like it (I was in my highschool senior year in this time and it was SHOCKING, simply SHOCKING) - link below: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ed2qd8SanrDWaKc.html&ab_channel=Estad%C3%A3o

So cool that you went deep on Brazilian cinema, saw your other videos with City of God and Elite Squad ... Amazing style in the commenting ... keep up the good work!

Please central do Brasil or o auto da compadecida

The film is based on reports from inmates, but more than that, on the book written by the prison doctor, Dr. Drauzio Varella. A very famous doctor here in Brazil. Dráuzio Varella spent his life dedicated to serving the prison population. Carandiru was his first job

Every time I read Carandiru's book or watch the movie it moves me to tears.

20:10 Yes it totally makes sense. The way they show the deeds in this picture are rushed and confusing, but it fits perfectly the way inmates tell their stories.

I love your reactions to Brazilian films, excellent understanding, good views.

The dancer who appears on 7:40 is called Rita Cadillac and she did this job in real in Carandiru, entertaining the prisioners. She was a very famous dancer of a tv show and a sexy symbol. She's still on media today, in reality shows and social media.

the official count released was 111 dead. but a police reporter who was there after the incident said he saw a pile of bodies that stretched a great distance. he said he did a quick calculation of the height and distance of this pile of bodies. according to him, it had much more than 111 dead.

Só faltou a legenda ..mesmo assim assisti ate o final.... Brasileiro adora esse tipo de video ...coloca a legenda q vai bombar seus videos

The movie is based on the book "Carandiru" by Dráusio Varella who was the doctor at Carandiru at that time. Aids was a real problem at thar time. The massacre really happened.

If you want to keep watching some Brazillian classics, I suggest Lisbela and the Prisoner and A Dog's Will. They lean more towards comedy, and show more a view of the lives of the people in the Northeastern countryside, where there are a LOT of poor and struggling people, since they rely on crops to live, and it can be really arid there.

Só de ver vc reagindo ao filme já deu vontade de ver de novo esse filme e muito bom eu adoro

Muitos desses atores já tiveram participação importante com atores americanos conhecidos

The film is based on the book by the doctor drauzio varela who worked at the carandiru prison. It is the same prison of "diário de um detento". In fact, the person who wrote the song was a prisoner of that prison.

I think Babenco tried to make a compilation of famous stories that make Carandiru's stories on the imaginary of the people, so for that, he didn't need to be faithful to a timeline. Anyway, the massacre really happened, and the best of this movie for me is the build of the characters and their arcs. Next movie >>> ***Movie list updated.***

NIce videos bro keep it up.. The governor who authorized the entrance of the police into Carandiru was actually sentensed 625 years but as expected he didnt even spend a single day in jail.

Finalmente vídeo com legenda

Ur a goat for being the only channel to do this movie.

Rita Cadillac: "é bom para o moral, é bom bom" GG: "interessante esse filme"

That history is so real that you can find pictures of what happened on the internet

Tô amando esse canal

Oh yeah! One of my favorites movies 🇧🇷

Yes, this happened. It was, literally, a massacre.

Man, you really should listen to "Diário de um Detento" (Inmate Diary) from Racionais Mc's

I miss this movie on Netflix Long time a go, and i see you because of you xD A good movie,

Que conteúdo sensacional desse cara.

Tem uma mini serie do carandiru contando mais historias

pra você saber como realmente era o Carandiru você precisa assistir o documentário “o prisioneiro das grades de ferro”

Artist Rita Cadilac's show actually took place in prison and she was a recognized artist throughout Brazil.

There a tv series basead on this movie called Carandiru - Outras Histórias (Carandiru - Other stories).

Great work once again!!!

Esse filme é tenebroso em todos os sentidos, eu tive pesadelos por semanas quando assisti a primeira vez.

Meu filme favorito 💛 muito dhr ver tua reação à tragédia que foi esse massacre

Hey, Dude, almost all Brazilian movies you wacthed are based on real stories, Carandiry was a maximum security jail located on São Paulo suburbs. It really happens that masacre at October-1992, and them. after few years, this building was demolished and become a park and a library. Dude. if you could, you should visit us. It´s an amazing country.

Eu tô amando seus vídeos 👏👏👏

any Brazilian can guarantee, the film was based on real events, of course it has the cinema script part but it´s very close to the tragedy that happened at the time

Agora que assistiu carandiru precisa ouvir a música “Aonde o filho chora e a mãe não vê” do Facção Central, da uma atenção na letra. Parabéns pelos vídeos mano!

It is really nice to see a gringo getting to know about our country.

All the stories in the movie were taken from the book "estação carandiru" which was written by the prison's doctor, many things that happened on the movie are actually toned down because otherwise they would not made the cut to the big screen.

You talking about tv show reminded me of a show called Carcereiro, it focuses on a lot of what happens in the film that you said would be better as a show, if I'm not mistaken there are 3 seasons and 1 film, I don't remember if it's already finished or not. About the film, I think they didn’t focus on political issues because the focus was really on the inmates, and in reality what they spend there is not much importance for them outside politics, the thing was to survive and follow their own rules, they knew that they could not count on government aid. another great review of yours!

the coin thing: when you going to spend a lot of time in solitarity, it may be that you get lost in your on thoughts and forget that there's a life outside of the cell. The coin is a reminder that there still life, hope, that he has loved ones waiting for him and a reminder of all the thing that made the old man, the old man

The doctor in the film represents the author of the book on which the film was based. Dr. Dráuzio Varela was a volunteer doctor at the Carandiru prison and author of the book Carandiru.

claro...objetivo...críticas do mais alto nível...compartilhe.

The doctor is Drauzio Varella, the film was based on when he was a doctor at the Carandirú prison!

There is a book (Carandiru), the movie are based in this book. Nowadays the prison is a school, i studied there and you can see the fundation of Carandiru. Before the school, the governor open the prison to visit, and the movie ware recorded in the real prison before explosion. (Sorry for my bad english)

All of this is real. Piles of bodies. That doctor in the movie is Dráuzio Varella, he has a youtube channel and is very famous here in Brazil.

The beads around some of the people's necks are called "guia" (wich means "guide"). It's a necklace used by practioners of umbanda and/or candomblé, both religions with roots on Africa. Umbanda is originally brazilian, but with almost the same belief system as candomblé . Some of the rituals and the "terreiro" (the place where the cults take place) are different. Both are very common in Brazil, even with all the prejudice by some agressive christian-cults (like the well-known televangelists). Remember that Brazil was the main destination of all enslaved people in Africa. In that way, our society still holds lots of prejudice against black-originated culture. Even in the movie you will see that: the evangelical cult was full of people, and that was a guy alone at the umbanda/candomblé altar.

Ótima análise. 🙏

Reaja a série "o mecanismo" da Netflix, do mesmo diretor de "tropa de elite" que teve que fugir do Brasil antes de terminar o terceiro filme pois foi ameaçado de morte. A série conta muito sobre como tudo funciona aqui no Brasil

The religions similar to Santeria here are Umbanda and Candomblé. Carandiru was originally a TV miniseries based on the book that did kinda like Oz did. Each story shown in the movie was an episode on the show. The movie kinda edited and put everything together, that's why it felt a bit rushed and a bit all over the place. All the events are described in more detail in the book Drauzio wrote about his time working as a physician there

fun fact, the dude at 3:06 is played by Rodrigo Santoro and he's as famous worldwide as he is here in Brazil. One of his most iconic characters, was Xerxes, the antagonist of Zack Snyder's 300

Esse filme é da hora, mano.

Hey man... great video. I'm from Brazil and your fan, and you take the point about the history of the movie. This is really a OK movie, not a 5 star movie. Many inmates at that time say they contracted AIDS through the bites of dogs, who bit people who had the virus and then bite with their mouths full of blood others who did not. I wanna see you react one move called "Bicho de Sete Cabeças" (its a brazilian term for something very difficult to understand, do or solve, the literal translation would be seven-headed animal). It's about a guy, who his father finds a marijuana cigarette in his backpack, and interns him in a psychiatric clinic, like he has some kind of mental problem. It's based on real facts.

If I'm not mistaken, this event was the inspiration for the scene in Elite Squad 2 where the politician Fraga ges into the jail to negotiate with the criminals, but Matias take the chance to shoot them. Elite Squad happens in Rio de Janeiro, Carandiru is in São Paulo (neighboring states but completely different realities), but this event shocked the country to the point that it warped the views of many people about the police all around the country, even in states that are actually safe

I was waittin' for it man! Nice reaction; that was really a brutal event from our history and the worst is that it was recently. Don't forget to check the song "Diário de um Detento" by Racionais MCs

Marathon your videos, I had indicated a few videos ago I am happy that you have watched this work of art. Now missing "Ó pai ó" e "Auto da Compadecida" it is very cultural.

The things happened very close to the film. The movie was based on a book written by the doctor who appears in the film. many former police officers who participated in the operation confirmed the events of the film in a new investigation that took place many years later.

Brazil again ❤️🇧🇷

Love from Brazil 🇧🇷

Remember Racionais' An Inmate's Diary? That song is about this incident.

Great reaction! this movie is based on a true history that relly happened.

Besides the movie, there was also a tv show that expanded the characters and stories told, but I don't know where it's available to watch on demand

now that you watched you can hear Racionais Mc's song "Diário de um detento"

Assista "Salve Geral". Os eventos dele também tem ligação com os eventos desse filme.

This film portrays the 90s. Nowadays the prisons here are much more strict. If it is a federal penitentiary it is even stricter. In federal prisons here today, prisoners are locked in individual cells 22 hours a day.

As for visits to prisons, it has always been and continues to be so. Detainees are given the right to an intimate visit (taking the wife or husband to the cell), but there are many rules for this. Most visits are made in large groups, as if they were "parties". This helps keep the prison population "calm".

Someone probably said it, but "Diários de um detento", an album from Racionais Mc's, it's based on a book written by a Carandiru massacre survivor

You could watch The Assailant (Besouro), and Redeemer (Redentor). They're my favorites, but kinda unknown.

the film is based on the book written by doctor Drasio Varela, doctor portrayed in the film

Interesting fact: The actor in 09:14 is the Xerxes in "300" (Spartans) movie"

The Carandiru massacre also inspired 'Diario de um detento' by Racionais (which you already reacted to) you can see bits of the story on the music video and lyrics, the inmate who's writing the letter/diary/telling the story says at the end 'Fleury (São Paulo's former governor) and his gang will swim in a pool of blood, but whos gonna believe my testimony? Octuber 3, inmate diary.' which is the day after the massacre. Fleury actually died in 2022 and faced no consequences for giving that call, still makes me sick to my stomach.

Esse filme é uma pérola e um episódio doloroso da nossa história.

Yes, we know, it sounds contradictory and disjointed, but that's what happened: a trouble on a football game, a "routine fight" in someother place and boom: something got out of hand and the police did the rest (at the behest of the government of course).The tragedy. Bizarre, but real.😞
