Diogo talks about the end of "Eduardo"


Now that poor "Eduardo" has met his demise on "Sol de Inverno," Diogo recently shared some thoughts on the character coming to an end with SIC Online. Awesome Dina was kind enough to translate his words for us, found right below the video.  


Diogo talks about "Eduardo"

Diogo: What will happen here... (laughs.) I'm kidding... Basically, what will happen here today is the end of Eduardo, as we know him…  So, after a very troubled relationship with his mother, Laura, Eduardo goes a little bit to the extreme, here, and decides to meet with his mother in this abandoned building and tell her what he has already told her, but in a more decisive way, which is, basically, is whatever he feels. He thinks that the way he has always been treated by his mother justifies all the actions he has taken ever since. They end up becoming physically violent. Their discussion is taken to the extreme and ends with the death of Eduardo.  Curiously, it also happens to be my last day of shooting. It was a curious coincidence, a surprise for me because it turns out the farewell of the character, is the farewell to the team, is the farewell tothe project, a project that I loved doing.  Loved giving life to "Eduardo." I think there are many "Eduardo's" out there, although we may think not....  I think he couldn’t have had any other end, right? Eduardo is like chewing gum on the shoe, that when stuck, is difficult to remove. He would always be a character that would never have peace. He dies with the frustration of never having received the satisfaction of pleasing her. And finishes like he started, right? With this great frustration.  There are people who are in fact immensely frustrated and end up living their lives exhibiting this frustration. And I think that Eduardo, is basically that, and the result of lacking, and poor learning.  There are people like that. So I think it was a beautiful portrait, thank God, of a minority in our society, but that is there, and deserve to be recognized...  I hope you guys, on that side (other side of the camera), continue to follow "Sol de Inverno," and follow SIC Online, to maybe also learn of other things I might be doing outside of the series.  Stay on that side, that's the most important.

Gotta admit, I kinda miss "Eduardo" already.  :)

  2. I still have a few more episodes to watch to catch up from my being away last month, so I'm not going to watch Eduardo's dooms-day episode yet...tempting though! But what I'm surprised about is that Diogo was surprised about Eduardo's death. Did he not know this would happen to Eduardo's character from the very beginning of Sol de Inverno? Do the writers keep those details "secret" from the actors too? Or am I reading this wrong? And a HUGE THANK YOU to you both Dina and Sara for all your time and efforts put into translating and posting for us Diogo supporters/fans so we can enjoy this novella along with Portugal too. You ladies are an amazing team!!! 3 cheers from LindaS

    1. I had the same question - why was Diogo surprised? It sort of seemed like a firing - sorry dude you're gone - this is it. And then his character gets dumped in the river - did not like the abrupt ending at all. Will Sol keep filming or does the series permanently end? Diogo's comments were confusing to me - and didn't know if it was the translation or not. Seemed like somebody owed him more than the abrupt ending. Weird.......

    2. I think Diogo was surprised by the exact way his character was written, being killed by his mother is a surprise to anyone I feel, even if you know you are being written off... I think he meant he was surprised by that plot "twist" or at least that's how I took it.

  3. ,Hi Sare, I came across the Portuguese interview done in January, Alta something. It looked like an awesome interview for over 33 minutes. Can you get this translated somehow or tell me how to do it. Thanks, and take care.
