“This is great things, and that's the shaping of a culture. No country develops without that. So defaults dichotomy of hospitals or films. It's stupid because we need films, we need books, we need to see ourselves. I love what's going on in Brazil right now, the way people are embracing this film, even with the polarization and seeing like this film represents us. This is Brazil. You know, this is a part of Brazil, it's a part of Brazilian history. So, yeah, I think this is indeed very, very important.”

“Every time I think about Christmas, although in Brazil it's summer, I think about snow because of American Christmas films. And that was something that was important for me to read your country, to have empathy for these people, to admire things about this culture, to see things that I didn't like as well and to go like, oh, that's not cool and to form an idea of other countries. But I guess it's even more important for an American, for Americans throughout history, to be able to see themselves, to go like, oh, so this is who we are.”

“I think so. I think so too. And I think that this is so, it's been so important because the far right in Brazil, they were very efficient in transforming artists, of course, into the enemies of the people. There's a big discussion in Brazil about if the government should fund culture or not, of course, the far right says it. No, they shouldn't do that. And they said it, all these artists, they are using Money that we should build a school or a hospital and we're doing a film. Bunch of.”

“The goals are great, but to your question, I hope so. I think I really liked one battle after another. I thought that it was a great film about a revolution in the future. And also, again, like a film that was, they shot it, I don't know when they shot that, but then all these film that starts with lots of Latinos getting in a prison and... Revolutionaries freeing them Yeah, I think filmmakers and artists will keep doing our thing. Despite of economical powers and Hollywood and the crypto. Is just what we do.”

“My friends from the city where I'm from, from Salvador, most of them are, I met my wife in college, studying journalists. Most of my friends are journalists. And I'm very concerned of the state of journalism as a business and as an idea. The Washington Post thing is very, it was a very sad thing to see. I was like, Jeff Bezos has 40 million to put in that documentary and he couldn't, you know, he had to fire all these people from the Washington Post. The Washington Post is a very, very important institution for American democracy. Again, talking about all the presidents, man. So those kind of things really, this concerns me a lot.”

“Being, you know, like in their minds that they've been relegated their entire lives. I could see this when Bolsonaro got elected and all his secretaries and ministers, they were like a bunch of people that no one really never cared about. It was like... There were a lot of people with so much resentment in their hearts. And now it's my moment.”

“Being such a narcissist, you know, for him. But you said very right, like fear is a, I'm convinced that the... All the bad things in the world, they all come out of fear and lack of self-esteem. Going back to the guys killing Alex Brett in Minneapolis, I saw those men, they were in fear of what's what I could see, you know, like very scared man. They were always scared. There's something in their life. And exactly, and the way they recruit the IS people from what I heard, it's very particular. It's like they're gathering people, not only ideologically, but there is something about these men that connect them in their fear, in their lack of self-esteem, in the way that they've”

“I didn't see the whole thing. I saw video afterwards and I thought it was beautiful. I thought he was brave. For me, it's always here talking to you and saying things and I can say here right now, I think Donald Trump is racist. And I keep telling this and doing this all the time. This wouldn't be as important or stronger than, for example, the film that we did, the secret agent. I think that what fascists are afraid of is not, they're not afraid of because they... Any fascist government they attack journalists, they attack artists, they attack universities, but with artists, I don't think that they are afraid of what we say publicly. They are afraid of what we do.”

“But that's the point. For me, it's interesting. I've come to realize more and more that when I play a character, it's way more aversion of myself. Than anything else. It's not like the idea that actors put maskes in front of them.”

“But of course in a way smaller scale, I lived this in Brazil as well. A star system in Brazil as well. It operates sort of in the same way, but in a smaller scale. And it's the same that we spoke in the beginning. I understand, I really understand people that don't want to go out there and say things, although I agree with you, if there's a moment to go out there and say shit, I think it's now.”

“power and wealth. And for me, that is coming from a country where social inequality Is the biggest issue of Brazil. And every time, with the exception of Lula, that's why I respect him so much. But every time a president in Brazil or someone tried to do something about it, this person got ousted, got impeached, or there was a coup d'etat or something every time. Because people make lots of money. The interest rates in Brazil is like, I don't know, I don't even know. It's like the biggest in the world. So the banks makes lots of money in financial. It's a system that they don't want to...”

“And that's one thing that I love in films is to see characters. I love to see characters that want to live, that like to be alive despite of the situations, because that's how human beings are. So we're not monolithic. Of course, it's hardcore, to be under a dictatorship. But one of my favorite scenes in the secret agents when he realizes that they are hitman looking for him in a movie. And he goes downstairs, and Carnival is going on, and he goes, okay, this gives himself to the carnival and goes. And that's, for me, that's very humane. But you were right about this thing, that detectorships, not detectorships, but authoritarian regimes. Nowadays, it's interesting, man. I mean, when I think about the detectors, the dictators from South America and back in the 70s and 60s and 60s”

“You know, when I did an Arcos and I was living in Colombia, Bogota back in the 80s was the most dangerous city in the world because of the bombs Pablo Escobar was putting on the streets and everything.

We were going to bars and living our lives, and then boom, a bomb would explode.”

“No, because it would be worse for me to go Yeah, but this is how I am. Again, this is me. This shouldn't be the thing for everybody. For me, I wouldn't be able to sleep at night if I knew something, if I had something that I knew I would say and people would listen to me and I would do it, I wouldn't do it because I was afraid of something or because someone is paying me, you know, or because I have an economical interest that would destroy again, talking about values. How can I tell my kids to be honest and to be, you know, to be themselves and to stick with the values that they have if I don't do that?”

“And for me, I'm almost 50. This is crazy It's the idea that, like I said, they can say it's just that the resistance, just that kind of thing doesn't allow them to go that far with the lies against Renegood, Alex Peter, because there are people here to say like, this is not true. But it's becoming more and more common to that these kind of things are going to be taken as the truth.”

And we're talking about the alignment of the tech oligarchs with the power, is that and the decadence of journalism and the Washington Post just firing people This is the thing that concerns me.

“Yeah, there are things that cannot Forgotten, things that cannot be forgiven. And I saw the other day Donald Trump saying, like, we have to go over, we have to move on. And I go, like, that is dangerous. There are things that you cannot absolutely forget. When I said that I've been learning a lot about the film that I did, talking to people, it's like recently in one of those Q&As. I was answering a question about what happened to my character and How it ended up for him. And I realized one thing that I hadn't thought about the film that this is also a film about infamy.”

“Exactly. And that's exactly the perfect example. I think that this is what has to be done just sometimes, just record something or blue a whizzle, or like it's something that shows to a wannabe authoritarian or an authoritarian government that they will face some sort of resistance. Otherwise, they just roll over and it's real fast. That's the only thing that I can say. Yeah, for the experience of living in a country with that kind of thing happened many, many times. And we almost had that, we kind of had it with Bolsonaro. But if he had this. That's when they go because it's basically the population saying we saw what you did. We liked it, go for it. So this is a very important moment, I think, for that kind of resistance.”

“Listen, authoritarianism is, I'm not an expert in that field, but I lived in a country that had not only won dictatorship, but some. Our history is full of coup d'etats and authoritarianism and violence and other beautiful things too. But this is a reality in Brazil. Bolsonaro is a manifestation of these forces that are part of what our country really is. And what I understood or what I understand about this, especially when we were under the government of a fascist president, is that, and also to going back to the books and reading about authoritarian regimes, is that there must be resistance, civilian resistance. And I'm not talking about guerrilla fighters or armed resistance or anything like that, but civil disobedience. And basically what people in Minneapolis were doing. And look what happened.”

“And I didn't know that because back then, I guess like 10 years ago, technology and social medias, these things were kind of like a world to be explored even for progressive ideas, right? How can we connect? How can we share ideas? How can the world be connect? And I think that this idea just disappeared in my mind. It's very clear to me right now that this is the disalignment is what it is, you know.”

“Yeah, how are we exactly? And I think it comes to how are we educating our kids and how the society, how the crisis of information that we are going through in society, the alignment of the tech oligarchs with the power, that's the thing that scares me a lot in the US. Because I only kind of started to realize that recently, I'm not an internet guy, I'm not on social medias, I'm not, but I only understood the alignment of Facebook or whatever these guys with the far right, with the right and with the republics and with the power in the way that they are now. And they all have a project themselves.”

“Again, going back to the first things that when we were talking about the timer of film is released, it's also interesting that this film is being released in Brazil in a moment where finally Brazil is sort of getting even with its memory when we sent Bolsonaro to jail, we sent military people that attempted against democracy in Brazil to jail. And I think that just to try to put it all together, I think it has to do, and I said when I won the Golden Globes, that if trauma can be passed along generations, values can too.”
