Great movie, but, there are so many good brazilian movies like city of god, city of men, tropa de elite, etc etc, that i think it's truly sad the actors are not speaking portuguese. It keeps you away of the essence of the movie. It's supose to feel the brazilian "ginga" and with the english language you lose that. Beside that, it's perfect! 7 years 7 months ago -

How to be Brazilian through Pele's movie?
One of the wonderful movie that are classified in the biographical category. When you watch Pele: Birth of a Legend, you feel a sense of belonging to Brazil because of everyone's love for the legendary star Pele. The director and screenwriter made us feel that we belong to this story that is told through the film.
The story revolves around a person named Pele, and the difficult experiences he went through in his life, including hardship and poverty for him and his miserable family, until he reached the Pele we know now. What impressed me more about the film than Pele's directing is that the director was able to produce impressive sports clips. The performance of the actors was good, especially the little Pele, who was skilled in his acting performance.
A great person like Pele Many people don't know that Pele went through harsh experiences until he reached Pele who we know now. He grew up in a poor family, and the film showed us the extent of the suffering that Pele was in until he arrived from Santos to the national team. I liked the Brazilian samba music, which gave the viewer stimulation and made him feel that he was Brazilian.
I felt the passion watching one shot after another. I was hooked from the first shot.

The movie is good, but don't take it as the truth. Many facts are fictional such as the story with José Altafini (he was poor as well, not that arrogant rich kid as in the movie) and he met Pelé only when he was 19. 7 years 3 months ago
