FILM 1283: ELITE SQUAD: THE ENEMY
WITHIN
TRIVIA: When Nascimento enters the
restaurant to confront Guaracy, the man wearing the blue and white striped
shirt who stands to congratulate him is Rodrigo Pimentel, the
real-life former BOPE officer who co-wrote the screenplay of 'Tropa de Elite',
and whom the character of Nascimento is based upon.
The character of Diogo Fraga is
based on the real life Rio de Janeiro State Representative Marcelo Freixo. On
the first scene with Diogo Fraga where he is giving a lecture in a classroom,
the real Marcelo Freixo can be seen sitting on the first row.
About 11.1 million paying viewers
made it the most seen movie in Brazilian cinema history. It also became the
highest-grossing film of all time in Brazil, beating Avatar (2009)'s record.
