The end of the 1980s in Brazil is marked by a pre-democratic period full of various social conflicts and  workers'  strikes,  a  theme  that  reverberated  in  cinema  and  audiovisual.  It  is  necessary  to understand specific productions from this period, such as thefilm Eles Não Usam Black-Tie(1981), by Leon Hirszman, mainly in the relationship that the characters may establish with the viewers. The purpose of this article is to reflect on how the real conflict experienced by the working class at that time  was  translated  into  the  characters  in  Hirszman's  film  and,  for  that,  José  Carlos  Avellar's reflections from the book Pai país, mãe pátria. For this discussion, bibliographic research was carried out, whose sources were scientific works published in national magazines. In the analysis of the film, it  is  possible  to  observe  that  the  characters  represent,  in  some  way,  socio-political  issues  of  the workers in the confused pre-democratic Brazilian social reorganization in a process of personification of the conflict, which transforms the concrete conflict into characteristics and traits of characters and relationships between them. Therefore, the importance of expanding studies on Brazilian films and the personification of conflicts in audiovisual plots is highlighted.
