As a working class movement that started under the violent grip of Brazilian dictatorship, this is do-it-yourself at its most creative, and a celebratory means of resistance.

June 15, 2013 watched Para o #TerCinema cujo tema é "filmes adaptados de livros que foram melhores que os livros originais", trago "Drive" (2011). Adaptação do livro homônimo de James Sallis, de 2005. Lembro bem pouco dele, mas fora uma referência a Mad Max e esse trecho engraçadinho a seguir, não me empolgou muito à época (alguns dizem que foi mal traduzido):

"a criança que se aproximava deles, cambaleando, sonolenta, vinda do quarto. – Sua? – ele perguntou.

– Elas costumam vir com o apartamento. O lugar está infestado de baratas e crianças. Acho melhor você checar o seu armário e olhar debaixo da pia da cozinha."

Não lembro se esta parte foi inserida no filme. Mas o longa tem uma atmosfera envolvente, com sua trilha sonora e ar soturno.
