Abstract

The purpose of this review is to discuss, from the movies Word and Utopia, by the filmmaker Manoel de Oliveira and Anchieta, José do Brazil, by Paulo Cesar Saraceni, the complex relationships between the colonizers and Brazilian natives. Having the word as the key element of reflection, I thought about two lmovies showing through images the power of words and the ambiguity of the feelings of the colonizers in relation to Brazil and the indigenous. The purpose here is not to approach the texts and movies from the perspective of affection, but the ambiguity contained in the affections and in the discourses of priests José de Anchieta and Antonio Vieira.
