We must to be careful about Kardec - The Movie (Kardec - O Filme).
This production, directed by Wagner de Assis, is driven by the habitual misrepresentation the Spiritism has in Brazil.
Brazilian Spiritism is a joint of the wheat and the chaff, a mixture of Roustaing's inherited dogmas by Francisco Candido Xavier (aka Chico Xavier) and some Kardec's original lessons.
It's a religious lure, that pretend to be rational but is very emotionally dogmatist.
It's not necessary to point a lot of mistakes about the movie, which has the talented actor Leonardo Medeiros in the role of Lyon's pedagogue Hippolyte Leon Denizard Rivail, aka Allan Kardec.
The director designed to this task, Wagner de Assis, directed Our Home (Nosso Lar), based in a non admitted fictional city from the alleged spiritual world.
It says so much about the impossibility to Kardec - The Movie bring a real approach about the life of Allan Kardec.
This movie also brings a narrative from Rede Globo's soap operas and it harms any chance to realism.
The manichaeism about Catholicism versus Spiritism doesn't help it but complicates the movie very much.
The Brazilian Spiritism is hidden by this approach about Kardec's life, based on brazilian writer Marcel Souto Maior's book, Kardec.
Souto Maior also written a biography of Chico Xavier, that inspired another movie with the late Nelson Xavier playing the title role.
It means that Brazilian Spiritism is very catholicized to get serious the manichaeism about catholics and spiritists.
The Brazilian Spiritism content is very catholic and it makes us to think if "spiritists" want to be "more catholic" than the catholic themselves.
The biographic movie about Allan Kardec can be a collection of half-truths, a very constant habit made by brazilian spiritists.
They say they support the Knowledge principles, but since Chico Xavier the Knowledge is condemned when the critical sense is very deep and strong.
Chico Xavier always preferred the Faith over the Reason, and called "toxic of intellectualism" the practice to develop the Reason that threatens the Faith's axioms.
It's very contrary to Kardec's recommendations, because de french pedagogue always stimulated the critical sense, always inside the principles of Logic and Good Sense.
The real spiritists, that are so far to be influenced by Chico Xavier's catholic beliefs into Brazilian Spiritism, don't need to see Kardec - The Movie.
Don't spend the money to get a ticket to see it or buy a DVD version of it.
Kardec - The Movie must to be forgotten by most of Kardec's followers and the ones to see the movie must to watch it with very critical sense.
We must to be conscient that Kardec - The Movie will show a wrong view of Spiritism and, especially, its Codificator. It's a work by catholicized Brazilian Spiritism.
