Good movie!
This is a brilliant movie and brilliant documentary. Loved every single of it . Pele is the king of football all the time and one of the best player ever in the history and in the world forever. There will never be a player like him and a legend like him and for his achievement. GOAT .
What is this documentary about??? Terrible editing we get totally lost so many times watching this
Good movie but not of the magnitude of what pelé meant for football or to the Brazilian people. Pelé was our idol, he made us love the game, turning us into the country of football. He brought the "jogo bonito"(which I think the documentary did wrong on not giving it the deserved importance) the style the brazilian national team played in the sixties that charmed the world and influences our style of play untill today. The choice to bring the dictatorship period in brazil was very good to bring the context of what the people here were going through. Although it could've come out more connected with the storyline and to how Brazilians saw pelé as a hero who could bring joy during those rough times and how he could even unite the people for celebration of football.
They left out a lot of things in the life of the Brazilian star. Maradona was bigger than Pelé. Not to mention Messi.
Unfortunately for film-makers Ben Nicholas and David Tryhorn, there are few layers to their subject, Pelé, who despite being the greatest footballer of all time might also be one of the blandest. Unlike Asif Kapadia's vision of Maradona the fallen angel, whose career on the pitch interplayed with tumultuous politics, war, and corruption, Pele does little to provoke his audience (with the exception of a few affairs, and his indifference towards military dictatorships). Pelé is straightforward documentary filmmaking.
Just by checking that Juca Kfouri, Gilberto Gil, Benedita da Silva (!) and Fernando Henrique Cardoso are interviewed on this film, I was sure this was a left-wing propaganda using Pelé as an excuse. After 15 minutes I realized I was right! Poor film, poor script, poor production, zero care with the locations. The only good thing in the movie is the historical footages of the 1958, 1962, 1966 and 1970 World Cup. Pelé Eterno is a better and deeper documentary!
