What Do You Think? Brazilians always play football and dance? New Yorker Always Busy with coffee and bagel? LET's See! #brazil #usa #indonesia #france #germany #sweden
what I wish people would know about carnival and brazil is that not every carnival is the same and not everyone can simply just go and participate like that. the one in rio the movie is a little unrealistic cause the female character is a regular dentist and suddenly she's front row dancing like a passista, that's not how it works guys lol. it's a competition so everything's gotta be close to perfect as possible and while there are a lot of members of the communities who get to walk for the parade, most of the well known dancers that people associate to samba are ACTUAL dancers. also you gotta have a crazy ass workout routine cause those type of costumes can weigh up to 30kg and its hella expensive and exclusive. regular people just hang out on the street, drink, watch shows and travel to the beach lmao and pretty much only rio and são paulo actively listen to samba
Yeah, we are not always on samba, or on carnival, usually some people have to put in much effort to be accepted to dance in carnivals, 'cause the people must know how to samba pretty well because it's not easy and it's not "anyone" is able to do. And also as I see on movies and videos, even Americans or people from European countries also drink and use drugs a lot, it's not a thing that only Brazil does so I think it is really rude to think that only bad things happens in Brazil... Mostly of the American movies, we can see people drinking in red cups, having sex, having drugs, hookah and etc. And samba is not really played in São Paulo, we are commonly used to Funk and Sertanejo, now Rio I don't know because I'm not from there.
@timetosingchannel992 I mentioned são paulo cause the carnival competition there is still pretty traditional and alive and there are a lot of pagode groups from there, but you're right. as a whole country, ppl don't listen to samba or even bossa nova lmao
@liamloxley1222 i checked it out since you mentioned and yup not the real thing, that was what they call a technical rehearsal. they have those for like 6 weekends straight before carnival actually happens, sorryy
I don't blame some foreigners from abroad thinking this about Brazil, the fact is that the government helps this commercial about carnival to attract more people from outside the country.
I lived in Bali for two years and Vio's description made me miss Bali. My friend describe "the work balance" as "work hard, play harder". He often visited part of Bali from jungle to the deep of the sea every weekend.
Movies are made to entertain. i get how it can be sometimes unrealistic but movies are made for entertainment not real life reporting 💀 this is what's wrong with this generation . this group literally took this presentation and made it so negative . I feel like these guys spend all day just being miserable . No personality at all whatsoever .
Brazil is the 5th largest country in the world. It is larger than the USA in continuous land and has 26 states plus the federal district. It has a population of 220 million people spread across this giant country. And everything that is shown in the media is: Rio de Janeiro with naked women, favelas, shootings, drugs, beaches, football, crimes and these types of things. The USA has more drug addicts and more types of drugs than Brazil, with horrible places where the police don't even enter; but everything shown on TV are clean places with well-dressed people, etc... . The USA makes everyone's minds around the world because they own the world's media.
Wrong. USA is larger than Brazil in any measurement. Yes we have more drug addicts, but when have we ever pretended not too? And if anything, there are more “pristine” places with “well dressed” people in the US than the movies will ever show you. Places that you can’t believe actually exist. Yes there are shootings and bad neighborhoods that the police use as “containment zones” to keep the rest of their respective cities “crime free”, so in other words instead of preventing crime, they simply concentrate it all into a single area. It is immoral, but it works I guess. However if Brazil is a standard of comparison for violence then those “containment zones” are like Heaven compared to a Brazilian Favela.
How are you making assumptions about the United States and what/where the police go here when I can guarantee you’ve never stepped foot in the USA lol. You’re equally as ignorant
I'm from Amazonas in North Brazil and we do have a Carnival parade but it's really small compared to Rio or São Paulo. I think Street Carnival represents how we celebrate more than the parades of Rio and SP.
People do tend to romanticize certain destinations based on what they saw in movies. I think the most obvious example is the Paris syndrome that is experienced by Japanese tourists in France. As an Indonesian, I have to say that Bali is a great destination with beautiful nature and culture, but don’t expect to have _Eat, Pray, Love_ moments when you visit. Just enjoy the island as it is.
I don't know if there's more famous movies that show Indonesia that took place in Indonesia and all I can think of is The Raid films at least in The Raid 2 the viewer gets to see more of Jakarta and parts of Indonesia but there is one scene where it's snowing and I don't know why there's snow and obviously Indonesia never snows except for Puncak Jaya since it's the highest elevation in Indonesia but in The Raid 2 it's snowing in Jakarta. And The Last of Us TV show in the beginning of the second episode took place in Jakarta but it was filmed in Canada and I'm pretty sure they use stock footage whenever city shots of Jakarta is shown.
@@22martinez1 First that's not snow, its Pyroclastic debree from volcano, and in Tge Last of Us, it is shoot in vietnam because indonsia have covid restriction
@@simplyyellow6240 ah now I know it wasn't snow used in that one scene but I still don't know why it's there probably to build atmosphere or something. And now I also know that parts of Episode 2 was shot in Vietnam but I was also impressed that Neil Druckmann the creator of the game and co-creator of the show hired Indonesian actors for the episode including Christine Hakim who was also in Eat, Prey, and Love and a little attention to detail that I like in the episode was that it mentioned the 2003 SARS outbreak with small signs at a medical facility since it took place in 2003.
When people hear Indonesia, many people think oh nature. Even though there are many modern cities such as Jakarta, Surabaya, Medan, Bandung and others. If you want a modern feel but give a nostalgic vibe and with delicious food, come to PIK 2, SCBD and Bundaran HI Jakarta. Surabaya is famous for its delicious food and nice places, Bandung and Yogyakarta too. Hmm, actually Indonesian food is delicious in my opinion haha.. Try it.. You can also try to experience the atmosphere of the first fast train in ASEAN from Jakarta to Bandung. Or try the panoramic train with a beautiful atmosphere inside the train and beautiful views outside. Economy trains in Indonesia also have good standards. Try.. If you want a natural feel, you can go to Bali, Pink Beach in Lombok, Gili Trawangan, Kelingking Beach Nusa Penida, or to the Lake Toba area.
And Indonesian musicians are good and quite a lot have international hits. If you know NIKI, Rich Brian, or the songs Lathi by Weird Genius, To The Bone by Pamungkas, Lagi Syantik by Siti, Meraih Bintang by Via, and many more. In ASEAN, Indonesian songs are often hits.
while those are big cities, i wouldnt call them "modern". only jakarta is modern. other cities in indonesia doesnt have good public transportation, etc.
The samba school parade is a competition that began in 1932, each samba school chooses a theme to parade (it could be an honored person, a historical moment, a country, etc.). The judges judge and give scores for categories such as music, band, costumes, floats, enthusiasm, etc. There is a whole security scheme that even includes an armored car to transport the jurors' votes. Samba schools represent and are made up of people from communities, they train all year to parade, so there are people who only work in the carnival industry, but most of the people parading are regular people, but many famous people also parade because they paid a lot of money or because they were invited by samba schools to give visibility to the parade. In Rio de Janeiro, the most successful samba school is Portela, champion 22 times.
The Devil Wears Prada was a book first, written by someone who had this experience working for Anna Wintour. So generally it is a reflection of the NY fashion industry.
The very representation of Carnival in Brazil is a stereotype. Each region celebrates in its own way, there are cities that simply don't have carnival. What appears in films is usually the parade of samba schools that only take place in Rio and São Paulo.😊
@@RenataSantiago7what do you expect? they can't even understand the basic geography so how they will understand the culture from other countries heck they can't even identify their own state 😂 Once American learn geography that means they want to use those geographic knowledge to invade and colonizing other countries
It is crazy how in the Rio part yall showed, it was actually two gringos americans in Brazil and in France part was also about an american view of France, also in the Swedeen, like why is everything in it's always AMERICAN view of other people culture?
Nice video, I actually like when you guys show to them videos of the country, in movies or news. It would be nice if you keep doing videos in this style.
@@xxklesx1 to be fair. To some stereotypes there's a kernel of truth but it gets real exaggerated. I for example as a swede can't function without coffee but I'm also not blonde
@@afjo972 of course. Germans are really funny. I remember going to Berlin and there was a sign at a McDonalds door that said "Here starts the American zone". That gave me a real good laugh. I appreciate dry sarcastic jokes. Btw if stereotypes were true I would be tall and blonde which I'm not. I curse my height everytime I reach for the coffee
I don't think people in Brazil are open minded, I feel like it's the opposite. But of course, It is a large country with different kind of people and customs.
@@afjo972Of course that every Brazilian are not happy 100% of the time but it's very obvious that Brazilians are much more open to other cultures and curious and friendly than people in many countries. I have seen some of your comments you seem to have something against Brazilians so your opinion doesn't really count.
I think that compared to the rest of the world, Brazil is the most open-minded country. The only thing we're closed off about is drugs and abortion, and I think it happens more in older generations.
@@julianasilva6946 "Open mind" is not about being empathetic towards other cultures, it's about being less sexually restrained. And no, the average Brazilian is not "open-minded"
A cara do alemão e da sueca quando falam do beijaço me da vida kkk obrigada pelo entretenimento de qualidade These girls are so nice and I am particularly fond of the Swedish girl
Seeing the German guy truly surprised. I have an online friend from there, and his fashion style is just so similar. I thought it was him when I started playing this video. 😅 Also, I think it's not too fair using all American movies to represent the countries. If the goal is to see other country's stereotype, then Devil Wears Prada should've been changed with a foreign movie that depicts New York. 🤔
When 🇫🇮 I think of how 🇧🇷 Brazil is represented in the movies, the only Brazilian film that comes up to my mind and I have ever watch is "The Secret Diary of an Exchange Student" which is located mostly in the state of New York 🇺🇸 though. I truly liked it (one of my all-time favourites). 🤗
@@lisandrasilva3084 Thanks! May I ask how Brazil is pronounced in Portuguese? Is it correct if I say "Brasiu"? 😃 In Finnish, we call your country Brasilia (I know that the capital has a tilde above the first i).
@@rizkyadiyanto7922 No, North America, Central America and South America are a geopolitical division, like Latin America. But the continent is only one, America
@@rizkyadiyanto7922 geographically it is just one continent! There is only this geopolitical division in two to divide the "poor and non-white countries from the rich and white countries", this is clear in the mind of the United States, which even places Mexico in South America.
It’s quite popular in Sweden as a “pick and mix” candy option and comes in several flavors/sourness and tastes much better than the American version. But it’s not sold as a separate candy bags in Sweden like in America.
The German guy is very intelligent and charming. He's undeniably hot and sexy. Oh, his voice... His voice alone takes me places. And his baby blue eyes, uhhh. I'm dyiiiing. Please find him for me 😢
Am I the only one that the first thing coming to my mind when I hear Indonesia is natural disasters? Specifically earthquakes and volcanic eruptions? 😅 The german guy is ❤🔥
😅You're wrong about Indonesia, try visiting, don't just watch TV, Indonesia doesn't just have volcanic eruptions, other countries also have earthquakes just as frequently.
@@diditsuhendra238yes we have more to offer than just that stereotype, but how could it be wrong when our country Indonesia is the one with most active volcanoes in the world? Located in the "ring of fire", and no doubt we do have many earthquakes, volcano eruptions, floods, tsunamis, etc.. but volcano is also one of the reason why our nickname is "emerald of the equator". Volcano eruptions comes with good soil, that's why we have a very good nature.
Indonesia is a big country. A few places are like what you said, especially in Java. But, there is no disaster in a few places. I never saw tsunami, storms, earth quakes nor volcanic eruptions since my childhood, except in TV.
Aren’t these all American movies though? I think it would’ve been interesting to see them react to each other’s films and how they represent their country.
Bali is the birthplace of ancient kings thousands of years ago,Meanwhile, Indonesia is where presidents from other countries were born and raised, such as "Barack Obama" and Justin Truedu.
Yeah it's a horror version of a really cute tradition. It celebrates summer and fertility. Also if you collect seven different types of specific flowers and put them under your pillow. You will dream about your future love. The only horror about Midsommar is the surströmming
Its simply the reality is not always same from what you can expect, either what you seen from movies, drama, or ETC Don't get too far to digging this, just look at Japan or South Korea for easy example, when you see those two countries you will think about Anime, K Pop, Romanticization of the People, ETC, but when you going into those two countries and live there by yourself then you realize that everything you expect what Anime or Kpop shows to you will be different and flushed away
as a swede i am never gonna watch the midsummer movie. Midsummer is probably my fav holiday and that makes it look like a bad holiday. I really don't like how they take our holiday and makes it look creepy
As a brazilian, I don't like Carnival, soccer, and samba. The way "Rio" decipts Brazil makes me sick although the story behind it is beautiful. We're so much more than all that!
I wish they'd talk more about Brazil. It felt like Brazil is the city of Rio de Janeiro. Even inside the State of Rio, there's underrepresentation. Everything said is true nevertheless
My stereotype for brazilian is they love football. All men can play well. They work as a football player. They want to be famous as a football player. You can find a brazilian in a football league all around the world. 😊
Those digital nomads today are blaming the people in Bali because these nomads are begging the standard like in their home country to apply in Bali and that's just not make sense and will not fit. But in the otherwise, Balinese trying to pushed themselves within their limit to make those people feels satisfied as long as they stay in Bali. I just don't like the way these digital nomads treat and says about the local after watch their blog.
Brazilians are not at all "open-minded", in fact it is a very conservative country with a Christian majority. Germans are much more "open-minded" than Brazilians in everyday life, it turns out that kissing in Brazil is not linked to sex, so it's easier to kiss here.
i think personally, there are better movies than eat, pray, love that can depict indonesia. Movies like 5 cm, Marlina the murderer in four acts, Trinity Traveler, Laskar Pelangi, Bumi Manusia, and Habibie Ainun, etc.
Movies are made to entertain 💀 this group literally took this presentation and made it so negative . I feel like these guys spend all day just being miserable . No personality at all whatsoever .
Where there could have been a chance to shed light on indian stereotypes which are always portrayed in a negative tone in movies as well as by bbc /western media … the video creators - lets keep india out of this video …
Unfortunately, it's very sad to know that people have Rio as a reference for Brazil. Rio is a beautiful city, but it is not even close to a reference for Brazil. If you want to visit Brazil, don't go to Rio, you can look for places in the South, Northeast or even the North, it will be much better and safer.
Meio que falta sal nesse mano né... o br fica super apagado quando ele quem está... quando é uma das meninas meio que elas represetam bem a vibe br comentam bastante, defendem as coisas brs... não sei, talvez seja a vibe dele mas o br some no meio dos outros países quando ele quem está nos representando.
Bali is more of a Hindu and Buddhist culture while most of Indonesia is Muslim (= more intolerant. You have even regions like Aceh were due to Sharia law females/people get beaten in public if they 'violated some of the typical irrelevant/backward Sharia laws' - but fortunately most of Indonesia is not like that). Side note: while usually people in Bali are quite relaxed, many taxi drivers were in recent years very aggressive towards Uber drivers. Also interesting about Bali and the other Islands around is that it is part of a region with the most diverse maritime life which makes it a real interesting spot for every diver or people who like to experience a bit diving with amazing underwater views. Keep also in mind that Indonesia is a country which has about 17000 Islands (the biggest 'Island' country) which creates a lot of different regions/cultures in itself. While it is not true that Bali has a lot of jungle you have that in other parts of Indonesia - even still with a lot of isolated living indigenous people. Btw., a bit surprising for most might be that the country with most Islands is Sweden - over 260000 Islands!
8:13 They didn't show ratatouille for France. Day ruined 🥲🥲🥲 And also , i thought thry would show the raid for Indonesian but , when they show another movie , I'm kinda confused but later on when they revealing bali , then I'm understand it and 100% agree 😂😂
