The Age of the Earth
The Age of the Earth (1980) is a Drama and Fantasy film from Brazil in the GoMovies catalog, running 2h 32m. Directed by Glauber Rocha, it features Maurício do Valle and Jece Valadão. Viewers rate it 6/10 from 32 votes. Drawing inspiration from a poem penned by Castro Alves, this film vividly captures the political, cultural, and intellectual climate of Brazil during the late 1970s. At its core, the story revolves around four distinctive embodiments of Christ's image: a black man, a soldier, an Indian, and a guerrilla fighter. These courageous individuals, hailed as the harbingers of doom in the tupiniquim lands, valiantly combat the insatiable avarice and oppressive "civilizing" brutality propagated by the formidable John Brahms—a foreign exploiter devoid of morals.
