O Homem Que Copiava or The Man Who Copied
This film is by far the best i have ever seen. It is a Brazilian film about a guy (Andre, 20) who lives in Porto Alegro and works in a local newsagent as the photocopy operator. He is transfixed with a girl (Silvia, 19) he can see from his bedroom window and eventually has the guts to go and find out about her. In order to impress her he needs some money, which as a photocopy operator he doesn't have. Then his boss buys a colour photocopier, with which he can make his own money to impress this girl. What follows is a story of romance with some very odd twists, violence, explosions, shootings and large sums of money. This film is quite low budget but the acting is superb. Also the Silvia is quite hot so it has that going for it. The best way to describe it is endearing.

I found it on late night TV and was enthralled by it. I tried to find a copy in Australia but when i couldn't i did the next best thing and ordered one from amazon. I have since watched it about 5 times since i got it in march.

Appologies for length but hey, I'm Big Tom.

Just need to get my coat
