| "THE BRAZILIAN PEOPLE" |
00:00:10.109 - 00:00:13.738 |
| The Brazilian culture... |
00:01:01.394 - 00:01:02.952 |
| is like a quilt.
The only unique things in it... |
00:01:03.429 - 00:01:07.525 |
| come from the imagination
of a Brazilian man... |
00:01:08.668 - 00:01:11.762 |
| a free man, a free poet... |
00:01:11.971 - 00:01:13.768 |
| a free novelist... |
00:01:14.207 - 00:01:15.538 |
| or even a free artisan. |
00:01:16.409 - 00:01:18.843 |
| But culture is, above all,
what the masses remember. |
00:01:19.512 - 00:01:22.948 |
| A new people, formed by nude
uneducated native Indians... |
00:01:24.050 - 00:01:28.749 |
| who were carriers
of great wisdom... |
00:01:29.822 - 00:01:31.949 |
| who could live in the jungle and
teach us how to live in the jungle. |
00:01:32.158 - 00:01:35.525 |
| The native Indians
got culturally mixed... |
00:01:36.629 - 00:01:39.826 |
| with the Portuguese... |
00:01:40.032 - 00:01:42.728 |
| and with the Black people
coming from Africa. |
00:01:43.135 - 00:01:46.866 |
| "From that human breeder... |
00:01:48.674 - 00:01:50.232 |
| came the nation of 150
million people we are today... |
00:01:50.543 - 00:01:54.445 |
| unified in terms
of culture and language... |
00:01:54.981 - 00:01:57.609 |
| certain and secure
of its own national identity... |
00:01:57.950 - 00:02:00.783 |
| formed by people who now are not
either Indians, Afros or Europeans. |
00:02:00.987 - 00:02:05.048 |
| They are now a new people. |
00:02:05.258 - 00:02:06.589 |
