Trivia
The film's star, Fernando Ramos da Silva, who plays a young street criminal, actually was a street criminal before he made this film. After completing it, he took up the criminal life again, and was killed in Brazil in 1987 in an alleged shootout with police. While police reports claim that da Silva was resisting arrest, there are conflicting reports from eyewitnesses, who claim da Silva was unarmed. Furthermore, a forensic examination showed that he had been shot while lying on the ground. Both his wife and mother called the shooting "a police execution." The story of Fernando Ramos da Silva is depicted in the biographical film Quem Matou Pixote? (1996).

Versiones alternativas
All UK versions were cut by 27 secs under the 1978 Protection of Children Act. The scene removed was a panning shot showing Pixote on a bed alongside a couple having sex.

"either you deal or you'll get dealt"

Pixote is probably the most powerful film I have ever seen. An aspect so rarely attained in most films is the gritty reality that Babenco exposes with paramount ability and care. It truly will stay with you forever--you will be touched in such a deep way no matter who you are, no matter where you're from, no matter what movie genre you favor.

Considering that Da Silva's own life was one of the streets, leading to an early death at nineteen, when he was killed by corrupt cops in a drug raid, the film becomes all the more disturbing when we realize that Da Silva truly is Pixote in a circle of life imitating art imitating life.

With no reliable source of aide, these street kids are forced to exist at a most extreme disadvantage. The brutal truth in this film may be difficult to digest, but we can't turn a blind eye. Ultimately, words aren't strong enough to do this film justice, you'll have to experience it yourself.
