he film tells the story of a real person, who lived in Bahia, a
Brazilian state. The facts that the film shows happened in 1924. Manoel
Henrique Pereira was born in 1895. Capoeira fighters change their names
upon graduation; the ceremony is called christening. Therefore, Manoel
became Besouro de Mangangá (Aílton Carmo), which means Mangangá Beetle.
The film starts with the murder of Master Alípio (Macalé), Besouro's
coach. Master Alípio was killed by bodyguards of Colonel Venâncio
(Flávio Rocha), an officer of the extinct Brazilian National Guard.
Since Besouro was in charge of protecting Master Alípio, capoeira
fighters and other members of the black community deemed him responsible
for the death of the old coach. Therefore, he was not allowed to take
part of the coach's funerals.
After the death of Alípio,
bodyguards of Colonel Venâncio intensified oppression against the black
community. At some point of the story, Besouro starts a kind of
guerrilla warfare, setting fire to plantations, and destroying
machineries. Venâncio's bodyguards retaliated with punitive actions
against the black community. Quero-quero (Ânderson Santos), a friend of
Besouro's, concludes that the best policy was to side with Colonel
Venâncio against Besouro. Dinorá (Jéssica Barbosa), a capoeira fighter
and Quero-quero's lover, takes the side of Besouro, and leaves
Quero-quero.
Many Brazilian negroes (they prefer this
denomination) believe in the existence of Orixás, gods of Nature. Even
today, people believe that Exu, a god, protected Bersouro against atacks
of his enemies. Upset by the loss of his wife, Quero-quero reveals to
Colonel Venâncio that the best way of neutralizing Exu's protection was
to attack Besouro with a knife made of a certain wood. Venâncio's
bodyguards prepare the knife, and kill Besouro.
At the time of
Besouro's death, Dinorá was pregnant of his son. The film ends with one
of Besouro's friends teaching capoeira to the son of Besouro and Dinorá.
Capoeira
is an acrobatic art of self-defense, that one can see in films like
Harry-Potter and the Goblet of Fire, Meet the Fockers, etc. It requires
skills that are similar to Artistic Gymnastics. All actors are extremely
skilfull. In many theaters, Brazilians gave a standing ovation to
Jéssica Barbosa's scene, when her personage avoids being raped by
Colonel Venâncio by dropping her knive, and leading him to believe that
she was helpless. Jéssica moves rapidly stepping on the wall of her
house, and attacks the enemy with powerful kicks. It is worthwhile to
see this scene.
Nobody knows for sure how Besouro was killed. The
film shows one of the many reconstructions of his death. In 1973, I
interviewed one of his students in São Jose dos Campos and, as far as I
remember, his reconstruction of the story was very similar to the
version presented in the film.
