As Boas Maneiras-Homosexuality, imprisonment, unethical love, this werewolf movie is more than that

As Boas Maneiras

Through this, the movie tells us that when facing others, we really should not only see the identity tags of the other person, because regardless of race, gender, orientation or occupation, it is impossible to define a person’s nature of good and evil. We must not reject or even hurt the other party just because it is “different” from ourselves.

Since the first “Wolf Blood” came out in 1925, colleagues in the American film industry have filmed an endless stream of werewolf-themed films, which reached a peak in the 1980s. For example, “American Werewolf in London” in 1981, with superb special effects and makeup techniques, presented the terrifying face of the werewolf to the chill, and became a classic in the minds of a generation. Since the new century, the styles of werewolf movies have become more diverse, no longer limited to horror and thriller. Today, I will share with you a movie of a werewolf with a unique style-“As Boas Maneiras”.

As Boas Maneiras

At the beginning of the film, the heroine Clara came to the house of pregnant woman Anna and applied for a babysitter. Unexpectedly, during the interview, Anna suddenly had labor pains. When Clara saw this, she hurried forward and instructed her to adjust her breathing, and Anna was relieved. After this unexpected situation, Anna felt that Clara was very reliable and could take care of herself at any time, so she hired her on the spot. In this way, Clara officially moved into Anna’s home. As a nanny, she is very attentive to Anna’s care. The doctor said that pregnant women could not eat meat, so she quickly replaced all the meat in the refrigerator with vegetables. It can be said that the two people get along day and night, and their relationship is growing day by day. Not only did they sing, dance, drink, and go shopping together, but they also behaved more and more intimately, and even developed a lily romance.

But soon, during an intimate interaction, Clara found that Anna was a bit “unnormal”. Because Anna’s behavior is not so much intimacy as it is the hungry thirsty of a hungry wolf meeting its prey. Clara was scratched and bitten by her. What is even more strange is that she found that Anna always sleeps disorderly on the night of the full moon, and sleepwalking from time to time. As a result, she began to consciously follow Anna who was sleepwalking. As a result, this tracking directly witnessed a horrifying and bloody scene-sleepwalking Anna killed a cat and ate it raw on the spot. And on the second day, Anna seemed to have amnesia, and she didn’t remember the incident of eating meat. Clara thought this was too weird. Out of concern for Anna, she tentatively asked Anna “has ever killed an animal”. Who knows, she asked an astonishing truth. It turned out that the child in Anna’s belly originated from one-night stand at a time. She and a man fell asleep after the car quake, but fell asleep, but was awakened by a roar. Only then did Anna discover that the one-night stand with her was actually a werewolf. She fired a shot at the werewolf in shock, and the opponent just disappeared.

The film adopts the form of animation to express this animalistic love. Seeing this, everyone understands why Anna hurt Clara, and why she sleepwalked in the middle of the night to eat raw cat meat, right? Her hunger for meat actually originated from the wolf boy in her belly. And not long after that, Anna endured all kinds of pain and exhausted all her strength to give birth to the wolf child. But because the wolf child was born in a simple, rude and bloody way, after giving birth to it, Anna passed away. The panicked Clara saw the birth of the wolf boy and wanted to kill the abnormal baby with a single shot. But in the end, she still couldn’t bear it, and decided to take the wolf boy to leave Anna’s house and raise it quietly. In the blink of an eye, a few years later, the grown-up wolf boy looks as smart and cute as normal children, lively and vigorously. He also goes to school and makes friends like his peers. But only Clara knew that the wolf boy would break out of wolf sex at night, with thick hair growing all over his body. In order to hide the identity of the wolf boy and to prevent him from harming other people, Clara would lock him in the hut whenever night came, and on the next day, carefully cut off his nails and shaved off his whole body. Hair. As for the wolf boy’s daily diet, Clara is also strictly controlled, prohibiting him from eating meat, and lied to friends that he was allergic to meat, and cut off his contact with meat as much as possible.But this “protection measure” is not perfect, and there are always moments of negligence. One day, Clara had something to go out, and entrusted the wolf boy to the care of the neighbors. The neighbor learned that the wolf boy had eaten a piece of bread for breakfast, so he enthusiastically fried a steak for him. The wolf boy was instantly attracted by the smell of the meat, and it was a relish. And the wolf nature in his body was activated unconsciously. In the evening, Clara returned home and found that the originally gentle wolf boy suddenly became irritable. Not only did he yell and refuse to sleep in the cabin, but he also scratched Clara. On the second day, Clara found that the iron chain in the hut was also half broken by the wolf boy.

She had to buy a new one and put it on again, and then went to pick up the wolf boy from school nervously. But she did not expect that the wolf boy had quietly gone to the mall with her little friend. They hid in the dark, waited until closing time, and then began to play in the empty mall. Unfortunately, this day is the night of the full moon, and it is the day when the wolf is in full swing. The wolf boy was playing, and suddenly he felt something strange in his body. Then, under the witness of his little friend, he changed from a normal little boy to a little werewolf with fangs and roaring. What’s more frightening is that after the transformation, he didn’t know his little partner at all, and he directly regarded him as a prey. After chasing in the mall, he killed his little friend alive. While the heroine waited anxiously, the wolf boy came home covered in blood. When he woke up the next day, he had no memory of what happened in the mall last night. Clara realized that the wolf boy had caused a disaster and decided to take him away. But the wolf boy refused to agree at all, and locked her in the hut while she was not paying attention. After that, the wolf boy went to school as usual, and promised the female classmates to go to the open-air dance party at night. The consequences can be imagined, the wolf boy once again transformed into public, broke out of wolf nature, and attacked his classmates. But at this moment, Clara, who finally escaped from the cabin, rushed to the scene. She wounded the wolf boy with a shot, and hurriedly took him home and went into hiding. But at this time, concealment is no longer useful. The classmates told the adults about the wolf boy, and the adults immediately took their weapons and rushed towards Clara’s house, saying that they would put the wolf boy, an alien that harms humans, to death. Faced with such a situation, Clara finally chose to untie the chains for the wolf boy and decided to face the angry crowd with him. What will be waiting for the two of them? The film ended in this open end. In terms of genre, this is a movie that mixes and mixes multiple elements such as homosexuality, horror, children, family, fantasy, etc., but the theme that the director wants to express has always been very clear. This is reflected in the character setting. The heroine’s identity has obvious marginal characteristics, being the same sex, black, and low-level, while the wolf boy is a character that is obviously different from ordinary people. They all face the predicament of being rejected and hostile by mainstream people. From this perspective, at the end of the film, the fearlessness, resoluteness, and courage to fight the whole world conveyed by the two marginal figures hand in hand have made the film burst out with a tragic appeal. From the perspective of the character itself, the director highlights the kindness of human nature through his portrayal of the heroine. In the film, she has faced the choice between life and death many times, but every time she chooses to live. When the wolf boy was born, she didn’t shoot, and when the wolf boy attacked the female classmate, she didn’t hit the wolf boy. Until later, when the wolf boy was blocked by the crowd, she still chose to evoke the human side of the wolf boy. The wolf boy in the film, under the care of the heroine, cannot be simply defined as a fierce beast, but a combination of reason and intuition, humanity and animality. Through this, the film tells us that when facing others, we really should not only see the identity tags of the other person, because regardless of race, gender, orientation or occupation, it is impossible to define a person’s nature of good and evil. We must not reject or even hurt the other party just because it is “different” from ourselves.

When you raise your weapon, you must be greeted by hostility; only by reaching out and trying to understand, can you get reciprocal acceptance and kindness.
