The Man Who Copied (2003) watch online

The Man Who Copied (Portuguese: O Homem que Copiava; Portuguese pronunciation:) is a 2003 Brazilian crime comedy-drama film written and directed by Jorge Furtado, set in Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil.

The Man Who Copied takes the form of a "how-to" guide for social mobility. Despite the crime involved in the film, it still has the feel of a lighthearted romantic comedy (which is a relatively new genre in Brazilian film and television, introduced in the 1990s by the American and British film and television industries).

The film won eleven awards, including Best Picture from the São Paulo Association of Art Critics Award in 2004. The 2003 release date helped the film gain momentum, as from the 1990s to the early 2000s, Brazilian films began getting more competitive in both the national and international markets (especially with the release of City of God).
