controversy

the original cover, in Portuguese

Yesterday, exaclty two years ago, Moacyr Scliar died. Independently of any discussion, unfortunately, without see his story being nominated for 11 Oscars, winning 4 of them.

Many may ask, for which movie? Well, the answer is easy, and true: Life of Pi, by (the 2013 'best director') Ang Lee.

The homonym novel by Yann Martel was clearly (and admittedly) inspired by Max and the Cats, of the Brazilian jew authour.

Some say it was a plagiarism; others, that it was not - between them, even Scliar, who, in fact, shortly, finished just not to aprove Martel behaviour while saying he used "a good idea that had been spoiled by a Brazilian writer". I understand. Martel was, at least, hostil. After all, I really don't know if he would be capable to write something similar with such talent under the same circumstances, case in point: a dictatorial censorship. 

The fact is that... this same thing he said he didn't read the original, just an unfavorable review, even so, he decided to copy it. Judge other's work without know exactly what is and use it later sounds me strange. Isn't it?! Well, lucky him I'm not a Scliar...

Apart of all this scene, on the question of the quality of both opus, I strongly believe that is worth read these two books and watch the film. That's what I'll do.

Ckeck this video out, where Moacyr Scliar comment the fuss.

Moi...! (saiu no Gente Boa, d'O Globo de ontem. Só fui ver à noite, quando finalmente li um email, ou mensagem, do jornalista, avisando que tinha publicado. Não tenho nem o impresso ainda...!)

Hoje, já vieram os comentários, as brincadeiras (de praxe)... Confesso que preferia que me creditassem como 'jornalista especializada em conteúdo adulto para TV' - o que sou realmente, mas ok. Valeu a intenção.

Entre fodas e gozadas, o que importa mesmo é que o mercado de filmes pornô no Brasil acabou. O que ainda resta, está com os dias contados - só aguardando as (últimas e) clássicas gravações de carnaval, produto exportação de sucesso, para, enfim, fechar as portas.

   

Não pela crise, mas também estou mudando meu foco... Boa sorte aos profissionais envolvidos na busca por novos rumos. E obrigada por todo o carinho e atenção quando trabalhamos juntos. Só consegui produzir para os programas um material rico, bonito, bacana sempre, porque fomos muito bem recebidos. Até a próxima! Nos vemos em outros trabalhos futuros.
