I think Pele Eterno is way to deeper than this one exploring the player with more than just this.

Looking by one side I liked the paralel between Brazil politics and the time he played for the national team but knowing his history didn't achieved his worldwide importance.

It goes way to superficial there's so much to tell in here.

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.

Of the King of football. unfortunately it only brushed over the darkest period in Brazilian modern history with the ultra right military regime and the torture and death camps it engendered. A similar period of darkness that the country, is experiencing now, but this time without the saving grace to the regime with a pedestrian Selecao
