"It is interesting to see the people's perception of the movie."

Translation: É interessante ver a percepção das pessoas sobre o filme.

I have to ask, what's wrong with "É interessante ver a percepção das pessoas do filme"?

[Paulenrique]

That would be related to the perception of the people who starred on the movie

[Davu]

Oh yes, I can see that interpretation now. Thank you. What threw me was the idea that Duolingo's answer has "percepção sobre" which sounds more like "feeling about" than "perception of". Is it possible to use "precepcão de" and if so how could you use it in this sentence? Maybe a change of word order would work: "É interessante ver a percepção do filme pelas pessoas" or is that just garbage or too far away from the required meaning. Obrigado Professor Paulo pela sua ajuda ...

[Paulenrique]

Yes. You can use de: "a percepção do fato...", "você tem que ter a percepção do que/sobre o que....". But when it can be consfused with from (like the example), it's better to use sobre

[Paulenrique]

"Minha percepção desse caso/sobre esse caso...." the sentence you proposed sounds a bit weird, but not wrong

[Davu]

Thanks for your comments. A bit weird is not good enough :-)

[Danmoller]

It's not strange, it's "deep-read" or "labored".

I tried "É interessante ver a percepção que as pessoas têm do filme"....got wrong....but the meaning is kept.

Is it really wrong to write "a gente" instead of "as pessoas"? (É interessante ver a percepção da gente sobre o filme). If so, why?

[Paulenrique]

Yes, that's wrong. You'd change the meaning for "our perception".

[Gen912]

Ohh that's right! I keep forgetting that "a gente" means "we"... thanks a lot!

Should "E interesante ver a percepção do filme do povo" be allowed?

[Paulenrique]

No. Filme do povo = a movie about the people.

[Sueli Angst]

sobre o filme is ABOUT THE MOVIE OR ABOUT THE FILM
