Rio, Movie Trailer
I have already talked about a Carlos Saldanha's film trailer before.
Above, you can watch a new one.
It seems it is going to be released in mid April. Looks cute and funny !
However, I hope it doesn't present all those esterotypes from Rio and Brazil, we Brazilians are so "used to" when living abroad (Grrrr !).
New posters for “Rio”. The movie features the voices of Jesse Eisenberg, Anne Hathaway , Neil Patrick Harris, George Lopez, Jemaine Clement, Tracy Morgan, Leslie Mann, will.i.am, and Jamie Foxx.
Algum brasileiro por ai com alguma estorinha de ter vivido uma experiencia ruim por causa dos estereotipos a nosso respeito ?

For an interesting article above the Olympics on the Economist go here. But I have to disagree that the international airport in Rio is "operating above capacity": most of the times I have been there the flux of passengers was pretty okay, compared to other overcrowded airports in the world. I disagree with some other points from the article as well.
(Source: well, how do I know all that ? I follow The Adventures of a Gringa in Rio... on the Facebook. Go there ! I have also supplied Rachel twice with links to documentaries... )
The video above is pretty, although I think the institutional video from 2009 is far more energetic and charming:
And recent 360o degrees photos of Rio and Brazil you can enjoy clicking on this link.
And ten facts about Brazil that will blow your mind here, on a short article.
