00:00Do you know who this guy in the painting is?
00:07It's Mário de Andrade.
00:10It looks like he was a famous movie director from Atlântida, from the time of the Chanchatas.
00:17No, I don't think so.
00:20In fact, I think Mário was a well-known popular fashion composer in the time of Chiquinha Gonzaga.
00:27No, no, no, it's nothing like that.
00:29What a mess you're making, huh?
00:31Check it out, Mário de Andrade was the one who invented Brazil.
00:36I'm Mário de Andrade, a poet convinced of the need to realize the Brazilian in language, in love, in tradition and in arts.
00:47I want to start writing some impressions about this trip.
00:53The Amazonian world promotes this encounter with the natural powers of the world,
00:58which makes the north of the country the space of the wonderful.
01:04It is a delight to stretch your body in these comfortable chairs of the prow
01:09and let yourself live almost only in the sense of sight, without thinking.
01:15Everything around is of a enchanted luminosity.
01:24There is an incapacity, yes, an indisability about the natural world
01:29that makes me want to scream, to die of love, to forget everything.
01:34You need to get out of this teacher's air in which you hide, move from yourself, from your navel.
01:41My God, I can't get it out of my head that Dona Olivia is a stupendous woman.
01:48Wake up, Mário!
01:52What are you trying to hide?
01:55It's Macunaíma that's in your head.
01:58Now I'm the hero of Brazil.
02:00Ana Paula, no one understood anything.
02:02The national culture does not exist in an uncharacteristic country with an uncharacteristic people.
02:09And today, for Malo, this is our adventure.
02:18I was not made to travel.
02:21Now it's too late.
02:23I left.
