The Questions

Here I have the list of questions that I promised you. I am going to ask Mr O'Conor and his wife these at the interview.

1. I understand tht you are from Brazil, may I ask where abouts in realtion to Rio de Jeniro.

2. Have you ever seen the films Bus 174, City of God or Motorcycle Diaries.

3. Do you know if the films were well recieved in Brazil, and Motorcycle Diaries in terms of Latin America?

4 City of God has been critsised for glamourising and selling poverty. Is this a fair critique?

5 Obeveously if you have seen the Bus 174 film then you know of the incident but were you in Brazil at the time and did you see/ hear anything about it on the television or radio.

6. During the incident one woman phoned her work just to say she was going to be late, the equivilent of leaves on the line. Is this sort of thing common in Rio, or Brazil as a whole?

7. (MD CLIP) Do you think that films such as these display Brazil/Latin America in a good light. It would appear that through the eyes of the directors that Latin America is having its national identity striped away?

8. Lastly are there any films that show Brazil in another way than the films I have allready mentioned display the country/continent, if so were they well recieved in the west in the same way to the other thre films.
