Favela, polícia e pacificação em cena : uma análise dos policiais dos filmes Morro dos Prazeres e 5X Pacificação

Abstract

This paper has the objective of study the representation of the policemen of the Pacifying Police Units (UPPs) in the movies 5x Pacificação (2012), directed by Wagner Novais, Luciano Vidigal, Rodrigo Felha and Cadu Barcellos; and Morro dos Prazeres (2013), directed by Maria Augusta Ramos. For this, firstly the presence of the policemen in the Brazilian cinema will be researched, since the begining until the current days, using authors like Marco Antônio de Almeida (2007) and Luiza Lusvarghi (2013 e 2014), drafting to parallel with what will be called "out of frame", through the history and social context about subjects like the police and the process of emergence of favelas in Rio de Janeiro, based mainly on the studies of Roberto Kant de Lima (1995) and Orlando Zaccone (2015). After that, the movies that, in someway, talk about the UPPs, will be mentioned, connectgin them with the criation of the project also "out of frame". At the analysis stage, specific sequences of the movies will be selected, and the methodology used will be inspirated on the film analysis (AUMONT et al, 2006; AUMONT, MARIE, 2009). From the analyzes, is possible to see that the policeman of the UPPs is in a formation and adaptation process, but it still has similarities with the policeman present in the Brazilian cinema before the pacification, with violent behavior and weapons in hand. It's still possible to notice how much the movies anticipate the current situation of the UPPs, when the project results don't match the initial expectations.
