Abstract

The main objective of this article is to examine the different perspectives on Brazilian masculinities brought by Tropa de Elite / Tropa de Elite 2 and Praia do Futuro by the investigation of the main characters in both movies, both played by Wagner Moura: Roberto Nascimento and Donato. We argue that the masculinites in both movies are reflections of phenomena which are produced at the institutional life of Brazilian state.
