Talk:Central Station (film)

Fair use rationale for Image:Central-do-brasil-poster04.jpg
Image:Central-do-brasil-poster04.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Father's Death
I removed a statement that the older brothers realize the father is dead, because there is absolutely nothing in the film to indicate this. I rewatched this portion of the film a few times to confirm this. He has only been gone six months; Isaías and Josué are adamant that they think he will return; and even Moisés, who doesn't think he will return, and says so repeatedly, doesn't give any indication that he thinks he is dead.cswpride (talk) 07:51, 10 January 2009 (UTC)

Location of "Bom Jesus do Nordeste"
I haven't edited in a while and will struggle with references in a few minutes.

The city of "Bom Jesus do Nordeste" in the film is "Cruzeiro do Nordeste," a small district of Sertânia, Pernambuco. The identification is unambiguous, for several reasons.

This web page says:
 * O pequeno distrito de Cruzeiro do Nordeste, da cidade de Sertânia, a 300 quilômetros do Recife, na encruzilhada entre a BR 232 e a 110, um dia se tornou Bom Jesus do Norte no filme Central do Brasil
 * The small district of Cruzeiro do Nordeste, in the city of Sertânia, 300 kilometers from Recife, at the crossroads between BR 232 and 110, one day became Bom Jesus do Norte in the film Central do Brasil

Pater / Patria: Central Station and the Search for Identity in Post-Collor Brazil says


 * Even before its grand debut in Brazil, Walter Salles thanked the people of the Brazilian Northeast by screening Central Station in Cruzeiro do Nordeste, Pernambuco (Bom Jesus do Norte in the film) where Salles filmed scenes of the Nossa Senhora das Candeias (Our Lady of the Candles) religious celebration.

And, finally, in Google Street View I was able to locate a location in Cruzeiro do Nordeste shown in the film, a curious monument in a gas station: Street View link
