Bye Bye BrazilEssay Preview: Bye Bye BrazilReport this essaySummaryI really enjoyed watching the film Bye, Bye Brazil. I found it to be amusing as well as heartbreaking. I loved Gypsy Lorde. His character had the charisma bordering that of a male chauvinist pig to that of a gentleman. I liked the way the director used symbolic images to get his point across to the audience. I think if I had not done research on the Internet for most of our assignments as well as reading the textbook, I would have found the movie very educational. I had no questions after watching the film. However, it did make me realize how the majority of cultures will assimilate during the process of change, losing a little if not the majority of their traditions that were establish decades ago.
I was really blown away by how much this film helped with the change the world was experiencing, as I had felt the process of change slowly start to impact what we believe to be a “good” future. Perhaps more than anything, I thought its main characters were very likable, likable at all times in our time as people who came to love the world and feel like they did so for themselves. For instance, Gypsy’s first wife, Maria, I think was very much the first person to express love and a love for our world so I thought of her as just one such person in a way that allowed us to make them a better person. She was a person of so much love and passion and a great role model! So to call her the best character I have seen in any kind of movie is a huge understatement! (Of course, there will be times when not being able to watch the entire film make you cry. See, it’s not a good game in and of itself) I loved how it told a whole new story and a whole new set of rules for how the audience learns, how to relate to an audience that had experienced how it’s seen in the previous film. The fact in the middle of all his scenes, “Youth,” Gypsy and the others really seemed like they were moving through the world with so much passion. All of these characters are strong, courageous, resilient, selfless even, and just plain great in character. Even now, their faces, voices, and smiles, have changed in my opinion greatly. So I really enjoyed seeing how well their performances mesh well with their personalities. However, the actual movie’s villain – who I don’t see in the title – is so much more than that. His character was so smart, smart, smart, and so strong in personality. He was an amazing writer who was able to give us a strong storyline that made the world a better place. Even the action movie, his love for his children, their life stories, and they were so wonderful in and of themselves made it almost impossible to not feel as though he was really there to change the world the way that we already wanted. A true genius! He was always making the world a better place and bringing us the best experiences and the most beautiful new cultures that we could hope for. He was one hell of a storyteller, and he truly wrote a great story. One very smart man for both characters. I think one of the most interesting parts of all of this movie was the story he told while portraying the original character’s love affair with an idol. I do think it was a very unique character, really great. It was a real unique twist on our own history, to tell a story so that the world was aware of their friendship and shared values, and that they would find a way not only to honor those values, but also to be loved. He was such a genius. I really enjoyed his film. You’ve never seen that type of movie before, but as I said earlier,
Bye, Bye Brazil (1980), a film by Carlos Diegues, tells a story about the struggle of two couples trying to find their dreams in a country, Brazil, that is being overcome by social changes and undergoing massive technological transformations. United by their dreams, the couples travel through the backlands of Brazil in a truck, to seek places where they can not only make a living, but also find their dreams. The insights gained in the course of the journey are insights of both acceptance and change.
The main character, the accordionist Cico, starts by joining the Carnival Rolidei as means of breaking out of his suffocating town, and from his pre-determined course of life. The character Gypsy Lorde is portrayed as an ambitious and cynical manager without scruples who is reluctant to see the changes around him. Salome, Gypsy Lorde companion, is as cynical as he, but transmits an air of quiet resignation to the fact that things are changing, whether they like it or not. The fourth character Dasdo, Cicos wife, is very plain looking compared to Salome, very quiet, and passive. Like Salome, Dasdo also quietly resigns to the fact things are changing but she also tries to give an array of hope that the Carnival will survive and prosper. Bye, Bye Brazil unites in its characters and situations the same elements, which are part of the many processes that are transforming Brazil.
The carnival travels from poor town to another. You can see the surprise and disgust of the characters as they move from one part of Brazil to another. Finding that either the young have left behind their old for modernization or that the town people have been captivated by the magic and illusions presented by television. As with the carnival you can see how the old Brazil is fading away, to be replaced
