Received with Euphoria, Applause and a final cheerleader of the World Cup in Recife for the premiere of his film The secret agentLast Wednesday (10/09), actor Wagner Moura claims to have come across a very distinct climate when the work has gone to the festivals in the United States.

“We are seeing the institutions that work today [no Brasil]Seeing a crime against democracy processed by the Federal Supreme Court, while in the US festivals the film crossed, we heard a certain sadness of the Americans, almost envy, “he says in an interview with the BBC News Brazil.

Moura referred to the trial in which the former president Jair Bolsonaro and seven other members of his government, including members of the military summit, were sentenced for a coup this week.

The events that led to the condemnation of the group are often compared to the episodes in the United States after the defeat of Donald Trump against Joe Biden in the 2020 elections

There, Trump was also accused of guiding a rebellion against the electoral result, but was not acquitted but re -elected the president in 2024. Trump denies having committed any illegality.

Living in Los Angeles, in the United States, for seven years with his wife and three children, Moura criticizes another aspect of the Trump administration: her position with immigrants without documents.

“He is a horror, I know many illegal immigrants. I live in Los Angeles, he is a city where many Latin, many Mexican, especially and people are afraid,” he says.

“Because they attack the person on the street for a visual and racial identification. If the boy does not have the document, the boy never returns home again,” says Moura.

“What is happening in the United States today is serious. It is a country that is no longer a democracy and has started to be a country with obvious authoritarian tendencies,” he says.

Moura’s complaint for the position of the migratory agency is taken up by many US immigrant defense groups, who accuse the agency of using racial criteria to approach people on the streets and expel them if they are not legally in the country.

In a recent decision, however, the United States Supreme Court has decided that migratory bodies can adopt racial criteria in their approaches. Trump was elected by promising to expel millions of illegal immigrants during his government.

Bahian-Cernambucano

The debut of The secret agent In Recife he managed from a period to the 50th Toronto Film Festival in early September.

Shortly after winning the best director and the best actor prizes at the Cannes Film Festival in May, the film had an intense international tour, subjected to festivals in Poland, Australia, Portugal and New Zealand.

In the screening of the film, in the theaters of the São Luiz Park Theater, Moura said that “being very happy and comfortable” to Recife.

“I am Bahia, but I was born in slices, right on the border with pernambuco, and I have this state in my blood,” he said.

The report of the BBC News Brazil accompanied the actor as he risked Frevo’s steps full from the popular orchestra of the Recife and by the Paço Guerreiros group, directed on the stage of the Cine São Luiz, a historic building, which has just celebrated 73 years.

There, he joined the director, Kleber Mendonça, the producer Emily Lesclaux and the rest of the cast of The secret agent.

Remembering the beginning of his career, the actor mentioned two special passages through Recife. In 2000, with the piece The carby João Falcão, with whom he played alongside his compatriot Lázaro Ramos, in Warehouse 14.

The partnership would have been repeated two years later with the film and the series O paí ó.

In The secret agentThe actor is the protagonist Marcelo, a character around which the entire plot of the thriller takes place and who marks the return of Wagner Moura to the Brazilian cinema after 11 years involved in international productions.

His last performance was Praia do futureFrom Karim Aïnouz. “There was no better time to film again in Portuguese,” he says.

For Wagner, “The film is always the mix between what a director and the screenwriter meant over time that this film is appreciated by the public”.

Set in the second half of the 70s, The secret agent He deals with issues such as the abuse of power and threats to democracy.

Moura says that the film was generated “in a difficult moment in which Brazilian artists, universities and press went between 2018 and 2022”, during the Bolsonaro government.

The former president has seen sectors of press, arts and universities as ideological enemies and has promoted cuts to federal funds in these areas.

The debut of The secret agent The artistic meeting between Wagner Moura and Kleber Mendonça Filo, who “approached political reasons for the first time,” says actor Bahiano, citing Bolsonaro years.

Today, however, he says that the political moment is different.

“One thing I’m sure is that both Kleber and I are very proud of the moment in Brazil, Brazilian institutions, democracy in Brazil,” he says.

“One of the things that hurt the most for Brazil was the law of amnesty [1979]who forgiven torturers, killers, people who have committed terrible crimes against other human beings and democracy, “he says.

“It is so nice to see that today, finally, Brazil is with its memory,” he says.
