Taís Araújo Criticizes Plot Changes in 'Vale Tudo' Remake
Brazilian actress Taís Araújo expressed her dissatisfaction with significant narrative changes in the TV Globo remake of the classic soap opera 'Vale Tudo.' During an appearance on the program 'Sem Censura,' hosted by Cissa Guimarães on TV Brasil, Araújo revealed that she found it 'really weird' when the storyline for her character, Raquel, was altered. Specifically, she objected to the decision by screenwriter Manuela Dias to have Raquel sell sandwiches on the beach after her company's bankruptcy, a plot point absent from Gilberto Braga’s original 1988 version. Araújo argued that while updates are expected, the core backbone of the story should remain intact, comparing it to the immutable ending of 'Romeo and Juliet.' Despite her frustration and surprise at the deviations from the agreed-upon character trajectory, the actress emphasized her professional commitment. She stated that she continued to deliver her best performance for the sake of the production team and her livelihood, accepting the creative choices made by the authors even though they differed from her initial understanding of the role.
