The book is amazing, and it gives hardworkin responsability for Monjardim. What are your opinions?

Well, I didn't reaad the booh yet, but I expected more from the movie. There wwas too much glamour to so little consistence.

The book.The movie is good,but very "soap-operish"and dramtic.And the book(that I read in school)has many wasted good scenes(such as Prestes discovering Olga´s death).

The book, certainly. The political part of the film is disconnected from the rest, and Caco Ciocler's work as Prestes is very weak: he doesn't show the character of a political leader. Besides, the movie doesn't tell that Prestes, years after Olga's death, supported Vargas's government.
