O nordestino na Globo Filmes: uma análise dos signos presentes em O Auto da Compadecida e O Bem-Amado

Abstract

This work focuses on the analysis of the meanings associated with the Northeast and its region of origin from the films O Auto da Compadecida e O Bem-Amado, whose original texts, from the theater and literature, were adapted and directed by Guel Arraes. Thus, the interest is to understand the paths taken by the director, who’s from Northeast as well, in his representations of characters, as well as the region. From the context, we point out that both films are productions of Globo Filmes, which can be considered the largest representative of commercial cinema in Brazil.
