One of my all time favorites.

n my opinion it was a great movie with some interesting elements, even though having some plot holes and the ending probably was just too messy and crammed together, but still fun to watch and not your casual movie that is similar to all other ones.

I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.

The common images of Brazil are soccer/football, Carnaval, the Amazon rainforest, the beaches, and Christ the Redeemer. A less flattering image of Latin America's largest country is the favelas, tightly packed ghettos full of people ignored by society. Stephen Daldry's "Trash" looks at some teenage inhabitants of the favelas who are digging through garbage one day when they find a wallet that could upset local politics. Not surprisingly, they become targets of a merciless police force.This is what one might call the real Brazil. Much like Fernando Meirelles's "City of God", "Trash" shows what life is like for a large portion of Brazil's population. When the boys cross into the downtown, one can see a sharp contrast between this part of town and the slums where the boys live. One of Lula's goals was eliminating hunger, but he and Rousseff weakened their legacies by demolishing favelas to make room for sports stadiums (and it's all but certain that the Olympic stadium will never get used after the games next year).This is a different turn for Daldry after his past few movies. Although "Billy Elliott" also dealt with class issues, "The Hours" focused more on gender issues (I haven't seen "The Reader" or "Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close"). I'd say that Martin Sheen's long-time political activism makes him the right person for the role of the priest servicing the favela. All in all, it's a really good movie. I recommend it.

The movie reminds us of the slums in India which was the background for Slumdog Millionaire. An issue was raised whether the slums really benefited through the box office hit movie. Still have doubts whether this did too but we can applaud the efforts of raising the question of 'how far will you go to ensure justice?'or in the words of the movie 'because its right'. Hope this movie will expose the corruption in the law enforcement agencies around the world and the lone struggle of few people who are standing up for justice in these societies. Are you one of them or are you that person turning a blind eye? its a fact that the poor when received will give out most of it and the rich will always try to hoard.

Greetings from Lithuania."Trash" (2014) is definitely not an Oscar material, contrary to previous movies directed by a great director Stephen Daldry. This is adventure, thriller (with a bit comedy) set in Rio about a group of slum dog kids who one day searching a trash stumbles upon something that can change the path of a whole country. Soon they are on a run from those who want to get thing back while trying to solve a puzzle of what did they found."Trash" is a solid fun, not particularly great, but it will definitely do justice for one evening. The settings are fresh and kinda exciting, three young leads are good here, with some minor support from two Hollywood heavyweights. Overall, this picture isn't anything really special, but it's a fine film. Music, settings, directing and acting are good, while at the running time almost 2 hours this movie drags a bit here and there, but overall experience is positive.

A brilliantly exciting film from start to finish. The three boys are a triumph, and the way the film handles them, and uses their emotional closeness, their friendship, is a credit to Director Stephen Daldry and his crew, as well as to the three boys themselves, recruited from the streets of Brazil. The story jumps from one level of excitement to the next in a series of clever set pieces that, at the same time as they increase the tension to almost unbearable levels, answer the questions raised by the mystery; what exactly is the significance of what the boys find, as they comb through the giant mountains of trash, trying to earn enough to eat from recycling plastic and tin? The chase scenes through the favelas are exhilarating. Literally, you find yourself talking out loud. The film is a celebration of Andy Mulligan's stunning novel of the same name.
