Tropa De Elite

This is THE HOTTEST movie in Brazil right now and there is no doubt that the buzz will catch somehow in the US and Europe. This Brazilian made Portuguese language movie takes place in Rio De Janeiro, Brazil. Tropa De Elite is directed by Jose Padilha and tells a story of a captain and two rookies of an elite police force battling with gangs in the favelas (ghettos) of Rio. I know that right off the bat people will compare this movie to City of God. The film takes place in the favelas and is very violent, but the story is told from an almost opposite perspective. The movie seems to imply often that middle and upper class citizens are the main contributers to the poor quality of life in the favelas. The director does make a valid pont. Another common theme during the film was police corruption. BOPE is a team which tries to clean up the police force and even takes out other police men in one scene. I am excited to see yet another high quality project come from Latin/ Central America.

Tag, Your Suspended!


A Virginia school has outlawed touching. Left Bank Press applauds this brave decision. There is no such thing as a simple, friendly touch.
Touching has consequences.
Our children need to know that contact of any kind can lead to fornication or death. Our colleagues at the Washington Post cover more of this fascinating story here.

Nieves Rebolledo Vila: Bebe

The world knows her as "Bebe". She won best new artist at the 2005 Latin Grammy Awards. The song is "Malo". She now resides on death row.

Watch the video, aqui.

Lyrics por "Malo"

Apareciste una noche fría,
con olor a tabaco sucio y a ginebra
el miedo ya me recorría
mientras cruzaba los deditos tras la puerta.
Tu carita de niño guapo
se la ha ido comiendo el tiempo por tus venas,
y tu inseguridad machista
se refleja cada día en mis lagrimitas.

Una vez más no por favor que estoy cansada y no puedo con el corazón.
Una vez más no mi amor por favor,
no grites que los niños duermen.
Una vez mas no por favor que estoy cansada y no puedo con el corazón.
Una vez más no mi amor por favor,
no grites que los niños duermen.

Voy a volverme como el fuego
voy a quemar tu puño de acero
y del morao de mis mejillas saldrá el valor
para cobrarme las heridas.
Malo, malo, malo eres
no se daña quien se quiere, no
tonto, tonto, tonto eres
no te pienses mejor que las mujeres
Malo, malo, malo eres
no se daña quien se quiere, no
tonto, tonto, tonto eres
no te pienses mejor que las mujeres.

El dia es gris cuando tu estás,
y el sol vuelve a salir cuando te vas
y la penita de mi corazón
yo me la tengo que tragar con el fogón.
mi carita de niña linda
se ha ido envejeciendo en el silencio.
cada vez que me dices puta
se hace tu cerebro más pequeño.

Una vez más no por favor que estoy cansaa y no puedo con el corazón.
Una vez más no mi amor por favor,
no grites que los niños duermen
Una vez más no por favor que estoy cansada y no puedo con el corazón.
Una vez más no mi amor por favor,
no grites que los niños duermen.

Voy a volverme como el fuego
voy a quemar tus puño de acero
y del morao de mis mejillas saldrá el valor
para cobrarme las heridas.
Malo, malo, malo eres
no se daña quien se quiere, no
tonto, tonto, tonto eres
no te pienses mejor que las mujeres
Malo, malo, malo eres
no se daña quien se quiere, no
tonto, tonto, tonto eres
no te pienses mejor que las mujeres.

Voy a volverme como el fuego
voy a quemar tus puño de acero
y del morao de mis mejillas saldrá el valor
para cobrarme las heridas.
Malo, malo, malo eres
no se daña quien se quiere, no
tonto, tonto, tonto eres
no te pienses mejor que las mujeres
Malo, malo, malo eres
no se daña quien se quiere, no
tonto, tonto, tonto eres
no te pienses mejor que las mujeres.

malo, malo eres,
malo eres, porque quieres...
malo, malo eres...
no me chilles, que me duele...

eres débil y eres malo,
y no te pienses mejor que yo ni que nadie...
y ahora yo me fumo un cigarrito
y te echo el humo en el corazoncito...
porque, malo malo eres, tú...
malo, malo eres,sí...
malo, malo eres, siempre...
malo, malo eres...

-Bebe
