man alot of you guys are real ass wholes
1. these people are not getting any of that money its for their greedy ass government
2."you should be thankful that their filming their" wtf since when did people have to be thankful for some American film to be done in their country??? yea i love twilight one of my favorite but i sure as heck am not gonna go diss on people because their are unhappy about the inconvenience the film is bringing to them. and FYI their are not in America they dont just get to VOTE whether they agree or not on the filming taking place in their backyard its done whether they like it or not.
3. You guys are just plain racist you should be glad that you get to see beautiful scenery outside of this uncultured state. nothing belongs to the America everything is from around the world so i don't see anything special from here. so just keep your mouths shut and enjoy the beautiful scenery this film will bring

Where the hell is this again? You know those crazy fans of twilight, this place could gain more tourists because of the film. Or, I'm sure that's one of the reasons the township is allowing it. Tourists would bring in cash, which would make their economy better, etc.

I love Breaking Dawn!!! Team EDWARD!!! <3

....... I bet that if it was a stupid soap opera they would be all damn happy about it.. and what thay did is violence.. :/

i gotta say, if some one started filming where I lived and didn't care about MY RIGHTS to privacy because of their precious film, i would be pretty pissed. not everyone likes twilight, and some film companies need to realise that before they go film outside someone's house. but you're right, violence doesn't solve anything.

I can understand why it might interfere with there daily schedule but why would u blow up a toilet??I'm not saying they have to be ok with it but the truth is that no one really has a choice but to deal with it.Violence isn't going to make them leave any sooner..Just let them film.The faster they can finish the sooner they can leave!!Me personally I wish they would come to panama city and film..I would love it!!!

There are so many opinions on this subject and I cannot leave without giving mine :)

1. Not everyone likes the Twilight Saga, but like I've said time and time again... what does that have to do with it? It could be any film and still cause disruption the only difference is, is that Brazil is actually benefitting from having this specific film shooting there.

2. Its only a few weeks, its not permanent. We all have to deal with this situation... there are festivals, filming, ect always going on where I live and sometimes I cant even get near to my town, but I dont kick up about it because its not something that can be controlled.... grin and bare it!!

3. "The money isnt going to people, its going to government" - Well no... im pretty sure its going to the residents of Brazil. Thousands of fans have traveled and flown to Brazil to see the filming, whilst they are out there they need food, drink, accommodation, ect... they pay for this and it all goes into the residents pockets.

Some shops were told to close down for filming yes, but they paid them to do so... if im correct they paid them probably more than thye would make in a month... again... whats the problem?

4. Since when does violence solve anything... hurting or injuring someone inncoent because of disruption is pathetic and evil. Its a few weeks... im sure you can put up with it when there are far worse things are happening in this world!

and who the hell thought of blowing up a toilet? seriously what a stupid idea...

"I know... lets blow up a toilet, that sure will get them to leave and take those millions of pound with them, that will highly benefit our country"

I dont see the point in any of this... it just baffles me.

Thats it ive had enough of writing.

Firstly 1 million is fuck all with governments. They have heard of breaking dawn it's not 3rd world. You American selfish shits that think the shitty movie is more important than peoples lives , you spoilt arrogant bratty shits. 1 million in A country the size of Brazil is like a penny for everyone. They have a right to be angry.

There is worse things happening in the world than this! just remember that...

some people in this world are starving to death... they have no homes or food at all! There are thousands of soilders risking their lives in wars!! people dying every second of every day from various illness's and your going mental over the incovienece of the filming of a movie?

Dororthy said it!

and Pam b/c you have to understand that not the entire world is govern like the United states (thank god) som countries even have it worse for it's citizens then Americans have it (and I am just assuming you are American).

An even if the money dosen't go directly to the Brazilian goverment it goes to i.e. hotell owners who allready have money, or to other companies and their owners who are not in lack of money. The majority of the money will never set foot in areas or to people who actually need it. Like it always is.

they can film near my house any day!

OMGosh to a lot of you! I can't believe this is even going on! Yes, I believe we would all LOVE to have them making the film wherever we are. Yes, I believe we would all LOVE to have the income. Yes, I believe we would all LOVE to have this opportunity to have this chance. BUT some don't realize what this will bring in the long run, and I feel that they will be sorry in the long run for making the statement to begin with...just my opinion.

I see both sides of the problem.... I can see why the residents would be agitated b/c I have been denied access to my house b/c of road construct (which was for my benefit) and it was a bit aggravating carried groceries 3 blocks to my house along with my 2 yr old son..... BUT... I do believe setting fire to something was unnecessary violence. There are other more affective ways to get your message across. That little stunt probably just made it worse for themselves b/c of the added security perimeter now. So Yes I can understand the residents side b/c I have been there.. so everyone else shouldn't judge until they have been in their shoes. AND there is NO NEED to be spreading slanderous words about Americans or Brazilians. That kind of generalized discrimination doesn't solve anything and is uncalled for. You can speak your mind with spreading HATE! I hope the shoot goes as quickly as possible for the people effected and that it may not be delayed anymore by immature and unnecessary violence.

I guess they (the Cast) won't complain so much about filming in Vancouver - at least they're made to feel welcome while they're there...

The people of the town have a right to their opinion. But setting the toilets on fire? That could have been Taylor Lautner's beautiful tooshie!!

One of the reasons why My country needs some more development.... They don't realize how bad that will look for us and the upcoming Olympics... .smh.... One day they will learn. That's y I am an American Citizen now LOL, jk Still love u BR!

I don't have feelings one way or the other about this. I can understand both sides...but honestly, the twilight saga is labled as a young adult series and many young adults are probably reading this. there is no reason why you guys should use that language. grow up people.

Sounds like a bunch of wackos trying to get media attention or just those people who protest anything out of the ordinary going on.

I understand that it's annoying, but they'll get out as quickly as possible. Time is money, especially in that business.

People shouldn't start calling people from Brazil immature I mean I think they went over board with the fire but if it was me I would get annoyed to. (If I didn't like Twilight but I do I love Twilight)If it were any other movie I would be annoyed, come on your telling me you wouldn't be annoyed? (If it wasn't Twilight)

Come on, guys. I mean, I would love to be able to view the filming of Breaking Dawn, too, but I would be furious if it prohibited me from getting to my home. Heck, I'd be furious if it took my parking space. Maybe if you're younger and don't work full-time (or don't live in a city), it's harder to think about it that way, but I know when I get off work, all I want to do is get home and de-stress. Anything that keeps me from doing that is going to upset me. But, that's just one girl's opinion.

Ok. You think just because they estimate that the country will get about 1 mill that it will go to the people? Someone mentioned the hotels they're paying for and the shopping they will do. Yes, so the OWNERS of those establishments and government overall would be seeing that money. Not the waitress, or the bellboy, or the other staff members. And obviously, those people already make MORE $ then their employees.

How would you feel if you couldn't get into your home after a long day of work? Especially if it was for a shooting of a movie you weren't crazy about to begin with?

Sure, their way of handling the matter wasn't the best, but just because a few individuals committed arson, you shouldn't start insulting the rest of the locals. There are a bunch of criminals and extremists here in the States too you know!

Ok, I loooove Twilight! And I do think it's an honor for Brazil to have them filming there. They could do it anywere and just say it's Brazil! But at the same time, I think the crew must be proffesional at all times and leave a good image down there. Have a great night, twilight-lovers!!! ;)

i can see both sides of this argument, the Rio De Janeiro residents probably weren't told Breaking Dawn was being filmed there till the government agreed to it, like most council's they probably decide things then inform the locals. and as for the fans telling the Brazilians to simply "get over it" how would you like to be cut off from your home when all you want to do is relax?? and to gain some perspective, imagine you being cut off due to a movie being filmed that you don't like or have never heard of... not everyone is a Twilight obsessed (i love the saga and can't wait to see Breaking Dawn!!!) let's just deal with what's going on and wait till the movie is released =D

I would like to know how the film crew has gone about smoothing things through with the locals. It is never nice when things are forced on you. Perhaps if the film crew etc were able to do somethings for the locals (which most likely will not see the money or benefit from it) it might help smooth things through.
Yes the locals should be honnored that they are filming breaking dawn here but they would be more honnored say to be invited to a feast etc to celebrate the filming. Or for the payment to be made in tradeable goods that is going directly back into the local community.

Violence is not the answer but it is a sure cry for help from these locals. Have some compassion people instead of being so negative!

FYI: $1M is NOT a lot of money for any country (even a developing one)......or even a state, town, village etc. I don't think the person using the foul language is even from Brazil.....they are just saying all of that for the "shock" value.....they are having fun in their own sick way.
