Brazil at War (1940s ca)
Applauding Brazil for joining the Allies and declaring war against Germany, this film works to show Brazil’s similarities to America. Cutting back and forth between Leni Riefenstahl-esque images of soldiers and the Brazilian crew team (low angles, jagged mountains in the background, half-naked men), it also emphasizes the “cosmopolitan” and “modern” nature of Rio.
