DVD Reviews of Globe Trekker - Brazil
DVD Review: Solid performance!
Summary: 4 Stars
Never an easy task to present an entire country in a short flick, but Ian Wright is solid as usual. You can see the locals enjoy his easy going personality, even though they don't understand what he is saying. There are very few consistently fun to watch travel hosts out there, IW is right up there near the top. After seeing this and other material covering Brazil, I want to go! The dvd will give you some idea about the country for sure. Other good sources: movies Manda Bala, and City of God. It is not all roses, but a colorful, unique and exciting country for sure!DVD Review: Sexy Brazilian women
Summary: 4 Stars
I really enjoy travel videos. This one was a good one. It is divided into two sections. The Rio section focuses on Rio De Janeiro, and the Northeast section focuses on smaller towns and rural areas north of Rio.
The host is fine. His method is to visit cheap places to stay, and downtrodden areas. That's fine with me. It shows where the real people live. I'd much rather see that than see five star hotels and tourist traps. You can get tourist traps anywhere. Though they make a great vacation spot, tourist traps aren't as interesting for a video. I'd rather see how the people live.
If I was going to Brazil, I wouldn't go where this video takes us. I'd go to something safer and catering more to Americans who want to have a nice time. But for a video, I'll take this one.
This video is very sexy. The Brazilian women are so scantily dressed and the cameraman had us pointed in the right direction.
One reviewer said that the host must be gay, and that the host was terrible. What a stupid child. First of all, I didn't see any reason to think the host was gay. Second, so what if he was. There's no excuse for bigotry. You are no better than a gay person. People are people. And no, I'm not gay. I am completely out of patience with bigots.
DVD Review: This sucks!
Summary: 1 Stars
This video totally sucks. The host is one of the most obnoxious people I have ever had to tolerate. You learn a couple of things, but its not worth it having to sit thru his blaringly obnoxious personality.
As a side note, he must be gay or something, because not only does he go to the transvestite carnival, but he also goes to some sort of transvestite after party. Still, even if you are gay, this is not the film to learn about brazil. All movies by this globe trekker company suck big time.
DVD Review: Mistakes and Wrong Info...
Summary: 1 Stars
Ian missed the best spots in Rio (Botanical Garden, Imperial Palace, Marina da Gl?ria, Municipal Theather...) and also has a biased view on Brazil. How come someone come to a country and can't speak some of the local language? British attitud about the world? The few words his says in Portuguese are completly wrong. Terrible biased view of Rio and Brazil (Ian Brazil is Brazil not CUBA). The DVD is too old!!!! Was made in the early 90s and Brazil since then changed very much...Very disapointed as a Brazilian!!!!DVD Review: Globe Trekker Brazil is for idiots.
Summary: 1 Stars
The Globe Trekker DVD has the most annoying host ever imaginable. In addition to his 8th grade attitude he pronounces every Brazilian word incorrectly. Having spent several years of my life in Brazil, I found this DVD full of inconsistencies and errors.
Description of Globe Trekker - Brazil
2 Episodes on 1 DVD! Brazil is the fifth largest country in the world and covers half of South America. The world's biggest jungle, The Amazon, fills nearly half of the country. Due to the colonial history, Brazilians speak Portuguese, and with more than 150 million people they form the largest Catholic nation on earth. Traveller Ian Wright visits the historic North East, from Salvador following the coast to the mouth of the mighty Amazon, the world's largest river. He then goes to Rio de Janeiro, a lively melting pot of Portuguese settlers and African slaves, the home of Samba, soccer, and carnival capital of the world. Along the way ? Attend a Candomble ceremony, one of the fastest growing and most popular cults in Brazil, brought over by African slaves ? Go down a mine in the colonial town of Lan?ois where diamond miners are still at work ? Follow a guide into the heart of the rainforest ? Visit Rio de Janeiro, its modern Museum of Contemporary Art, and the world famous temple to soccer, Maracana ? Join Rio Carnival's street parties and the Samba parades for the maddest night of your life!General DVDs
