Como o cinema imita a realidade? O caso do ônibus 174 no cinema brasileiro

Abstract

The present study has as its theme the simulation of reality in cinema, and its objective is to understand the role of audiovisual language in the representation of real stories in cinematographic works, especially in the documentary film Ônibus 174 and in the fiction film Última Parada 174. The work is organized into three main focuses, divided into chapters that bring approaches to the genres of fiction and documentary, especially within the scope of Brazilian cinema, the audiovisual language and the possibilities of simulating realities in cinema, and the portrait of the case of the 174 bus in the movies in question. A bibliographic research with an exploratory bias stands out as a methodology, which approaches authors such as Jacques Aumont, André Bazin, Michel Marie, Jean-Claude Bernardet, Sergei Eisenstein, Gilles Deleuze, Jean Baudrillard, Ivana Bentes, Paulo Emílio Salles Gomes, Sidney Ferreira Leite, Fernão Pessoa Ramos and Ismail Xavier. Another important point in the methodology is the case study carried out based on the film analysis at the end of the work, which will allow establishing a relationship between the films about the kidnapping of bus 174 and the concepts raised in the exploratory research. In the end, it is concluded that the audiovisual language resources used in both fiction and documentary allow for several possibilities to simulate real events in cinema, resulting in different perspectives and interpretations of the same fact. Therefore, it is possible to identify that while the documentary approaches the case of the 174 bus in a more critical way, the fiction takes a more emotional approach, bringing the viewer closer to the experience lived by the protagonist.
