A Idade da Terra

What is the use of a message if it is transmitted so that it will turn away most people? When did cinema stop being also about entertaining? If I make a movie, especially one with a strong message, I want it to be watched by as many people as possible. Otherwise, what is the point in making it? I could/should write a book instead. If Glauber Rocha really thought his movies would change people's cinematic taste, he was wrong. Aesthetics, good acting, good dialogues, etc., are still (and I think will always be) important. Rocha is not a cinema genius. He is the opposite. A cinema genius combines all elements of a movie to make it interesting and memorable on many levels, not only one (the message). Ingmar Bergman anyone? I think Rocha was just a crazy guy without talent, but with a political message, who thought he could/should make movies.
