Tony Ramos questions primacy of foreign films: ‘Desigual’

Four years passed between the completion of the text of “45 do Segundo Tempo” and the film, which was finally able to hit Brazilian cinemas with Tony Ramos in the role of the protagonist Pedro Baresi.

However, the time in which the film, which hit theaters on Thursday (18th), will hit theaters in Brazil depends on box office earnings, which is basically four days.

In an interview with Tony, he criticized national films syringescontinues to face the charge of giving audiences the first weekend, from Thursday’s premiere through Sunday, under penalty of walking off the poster and not having a second week on the air.

“The exhibitors do that with the national cinema. If the first week is not good, there is no second. Foreign films can have low box offices for one, two, three weeks and still have cinemas. It is unequal,” says the actor.

In 45 do Segundo Tempo, a film directed by Luiz Villaça, Tony Ramos plays Pedro Baresi, a Paulistano of Italian descent struggling with the sadness of the Baresi canteen’s financial difficulties and a lonely life.

The solution is to reunite with childhood friends, the lawyer Ivan, played by Cassio Gabus Mendes, and the priest Mariano, played by Ary França. The aim is to recreate a photo taken together by the three forty years earlier at the inauguration of the São Paulo Metro.

It’s a film about friendship and the conflict between aspiration and reality. In the background, issues of current life, such as economic difficulties and sexual diversity Ivan (Gabus Mendes) has a big dilemma, the difficulty of dealing with the sexual orientation of his only child, who is gay.

For Tony Ramos, one of the challenges in constructing the role is separating his persona from the character’s point of view, even if there are similarities. Concerned about the country’s economic path, particularly the cultural sector, Tony Ramos has strong personal friendships with his peers in the scene.

“When you create a character, you have to separate them. Actor Tony Ramos knows the painful situation of Brazilian culture, the negligence of governments, but I can’t do it,” he says. “The friendship that you have in real life can never be transported to screen. Every friendship is unique,” ​​he adds.

One of the emotional promises in cinema is the little dog Calabresa, Pedro Baresi’s faithful squire. “Like Pedro, I have a love of gastronomy and dogs. I’m sure this man’s pain will touch a lot of people,” said Tony Ramos.
