The paper tries to connect two seminal Latin American films through analytical usage of the term blurring the other. The focus of analysis is on the transgression of the identity features of the protagonists: Sergio and Pixote. Using the dialectics and subversive nature of the relationship between visual and textual contexts, it becomes clear that both characters can be seen as the blurred other in a sense that they embody the duality of the ideologies they transgressed or progress towards. Presenting a clear analysis of two seminal sequences, the work emphasizes the qualities of their directors subversive avoidance of ideological drift implied by the films topic and immediate social circumstances. Both Sergio and Pixote are blurred others but also corrupt agencies, leftovers of the ideological breach that emerged in Cuba after the revolution and in Brazil after the dictatorships.
