Abstract

After military Brazilian dictatorship in 1964, army force was the law and opposite discourse was silenced. However, in spite of such violent situation, artists reacted and tried, through the cinema, narrate the real Brazilian History. The narrative was constructed based on real stories: people were transposed from their real lives to movies. Drama was perpetuated through movies produced during and after military coup d´état. After 40 years, movies show meanings against the Brazilian official discourse and give to audience a binary association, as a fight between good and evil. Therefore, in order to understand this discussion in Brazilian films, we will make a brief analysis of the production in that period.
