Michiko e Hatchin random squeeing again
OKAY PEOPLE. Remember that some ages ago I said that I was re-watching Michiko e Hatchin with my sister (she was watching it for the first time though)? Well, it took some time due to losing my HD thanks to a virus and my internet being lousy, but WE FINALLY FINISHED IT. And she LOVED it, she cried her eyes out, said it was great and made me so happy because I'm always trying to convert her like into fiction I love.
A one on a million series. Truly, it has problems, I'm pretty sure it was created after Cidade de Deus (what with gangs, crime and corruption dominating everything, and... stuff), but you know what? We agreed that it feels like home. Damn good job in capturing these places, yeah, it has samba and everything with a "Brazilian feeling," but it's real and here, and that's something to praise. Bet Hollywood wouldn't do it like that. Never.
The story? Unique. It's just about women, women of color, and women outside the system. I have said it before, but the white man who is the main plot device is one... piece of shit. And the story acknowledges it like hell.
It's fantastically written and paced, without melodrama, breaking clichés and sometimes even meta about telenovelas and fiction. It works when it's flashy and over the top. It just knows what it does.
I will always recommend it to everyone. It's amazing.
