'''''Besouro''''' is a film.
In colonial Brazil during the 1890's, the recently free Black population is downtrodden and abused, their native martial art Capoiera outlawed, feared, and disdained. An influential [[The Master (trope)||professorre]], however, rebels against the ban to both teach children capoiera and build a self-sufficient community of Blacks surrounding these fighters. At the core, Besouro is your average martial arts flick; [[The Chosen One]] thinks he's just the bee's knees until [[The Master (trope)|The Master]] gets murdered on his watch. Fighting ensues. The difference is in the heavy cultural influence of Brazilian history and Akom religion.
Line 6 ⟶ 9:
* [[Dance Battler]]: Given, since the movie is about capoieristas.
* [[Everything's Better with Spinning]]: Besouro's "signature move" is like a double pirouet aimed at someone's face. The aftermath is plain scary.
