“When I saw that scene [in ocean from the Aquarius] for the first time, it blew me away. It caused me to reflect on my age, my history and all that I've been through in Brazil. Having been away from Brazil for so long, while not speaking in my own tongue, when I saw that image, I felt like I was taking my first deep breath after nearly suffocating to death. It was like the plastic had been removed from my head. Even if this breath turned out to be my last, at least I got to have this one moment of release.

They're talking about the beauty of the self and how it can become demolished.” HeartSelfStoriesRememberFilmMemoriesTalkingAudienceSceneConsequenceHearingResistanceThemeDiscussingAquariusHistory And Memory Author:Sonia Braga
