Cazuza: Time Doesn't Stop (2004) - full transcript

- Your mom is here.
- What?

Your mom is here.

- Shit!
- Shit!

I Can fly

You can smile

If you're happy to be here.

Snow is white

clean and bright

Come and enjoy this with me.

Night is ending
when morning comes

We are close to heaven



Our dreams

come with the wind

While you stay here together

Hello!

When you sing,
you invent something,

you invent a romance,
a memory, a lie.

When you sing, you make history.

I learned how to sing screaming,

without modesty, without sin.

I sing to scare away the demons,

to get my friends together,

to feel the world,
to seduce life.

Are you the guy?

What guy?



The guy who can scream
that Leo Jaime sent here?

We all came out to Montreux

On the lake Geneva shore line

To make the records
with a mobile

We didn't have much time

Frank Zappa & The Mothers

Were at the best place around

But some stupid with a flare gun

Burned the place to the ground

Smoke in the water

Fire in the sky

Smoke in the water

What was that?
This guy can really scream!

That's the only thing
I can do, man.

But rock'n'roll is
about screaming and jumping.

It's not a lake, it's a river

flowing to the sea,
it's movement.

So move this,
see if you like it.

Now we're talking!

What's your name, bro?

You can call me Cazuza.

Cazuza, this is De;

the one who gave you
the joint is Guto;

that one over there is Mauricio,

and I'm Frejat.

Frejat.

- Do you want to rock'n'roll?
- I want to have fun!

Cheers!

Your court thanks you

toast

Our star deserves it

To his faithful fan club

He gives autographs
on checkbooks

Run faster Caju!

Bah, bah, bah, bah. Big boss

Your generosity ennobles you

I'm nervous,
turn off the radio, please.

Excuse me, lady,

but maybe he's
already gone home.

I'm sure he hasn't.

You know, lady,
I have four children,

and sometimes
they disappear, but...

Well, I only have this one.

Stop!

As long as there is
uselessness and pot,

there is still hope!

Oh, no, Cazuza!

Don't be a kid
Get down from there!

- Which way?
- Get down from there!

Which way?

This way or that way?

From here to there,
it's infinity, do you know why?

'Cos it's forever.

- Forever.
- Oh, my God...

If it's forever,
it's not for you. Let's go!

Come on! Let's drink.

Get in the car!

- Let's drink!
- Let's push!

Nico! Go, go, and go!

They're here!

The most efficient
guardian angels

in all of Rio de Janeiro:.
My king and my queen!

- Cazuza!
- My queen!

Let's go, son!

Look, thy court.

A-team of bums, approved
at the worst places in town:

this is Vadao, floating address;

property:
the clothes he's wearing.

- Let's go!
- His crime:

not having a place to live.

Maneco has a place to live,
but prefers to be

drunk out on the streets;

Tonico is 22 years old
and flunked civics.

- His crime: thinking too much.
- Stop it!

Nobody is supposed
to think here, Mom.

And, finally, this South Zone
shameless bourgeois.

- Let's go, Cazuza!
- I can't, Mom!

I'm not leaving by myself.
My friends are coming with me.

See what happens
when you're away so much.

- Not now, Lucinha.
- It's easy for you, Joao.

You leave early
and come back late.

I'm tired of disciplining
Cazuza by myself.

You need to talk to him. Soon!

What should I do about you?

Don't forget to put gasoline.

I asked you
what I should do about you.

I'll do it on my own, Dad.

On your own, you'd still be
at the police station.

Did it cost a lot?

It's not a question of money.

Actually, you do well
to spend money with friends.

I want to know
where you're headed.

Don't you want
to get somewhere in life?

I was at the beach,
at the police station,

and now I'm here;
three different places.

You know what I mean.

I do: leather armchair,
air conditioning, diploma,

cuff links, cologne,
bills to pay...

And I pay them all,
yours and mine.

You said it wasn't about money.

It's about what you do
to make money.

I have fun, dad.
I love my friends,

I don't hurt anyone.

The problem isn't
hurting someone else,

but hurting yourself.

That's the point, Big John.

I need my friends to protect me.

Vanderlei, come here!

Come on, let's go!

You got a light?

Always!

Be careful!

Caju!

Tonico! What's up?

What's your name?

- Malu!
- Malu!

- Do you want some?
- Sure.

Tonico, Malu; Malu, Tonico.

Vanderlei!

- What's your name?
- Mine? Cazuza!

- What about that tattoo?
- Do you like it?

It's beautiful.
It matches you perfectly.

Malu is a sonorous name.

Malu!

Don't take advantage
of me like that!

- Where is he going tomorrow?
- Who?

The sun.

He's going to tomorrow,
in Japan.

Tacky, crazy people.

Come on. It's three to zero.

Hello, everybody!

What's up, brother?

Hi, De!

You're late, Cazuza.

- The traffic was bad.
- What traffic?

Everybody was early.
We're professionals.

Right, very professional!

What's this?
Underwear on the drums?

And dirty, too.

- Did you bring the lyrics?
- Yes, right here.

I'll trade them for a cigarette.

Deal done!

- Here.
- Nice!

What? That's it?

The best perfume
in the worst bottles.

The same old story!

I don't know
what my body shelters

On these warm summer nights

And let a thousand
lightning bolts strike

bring a clear meaning
to my reasoning

I'm feeling so down,

I'm feeling so down...

One more time I'll sing to you

I'll scream to you
I'll tow you away

From the bar

That's not it.
I wanted something weird.

I had Janis Joplin on my mind.

So tomorrow
we'll rehearse the blues!

The blues!

Slow down! We're made
of flesh and bones,

for goodness sake,
the flesh is weak.

Slow down!

We have a lot of flesh,
that's the beauty of it.

Slow down!

Relax, bro.
We're under the limit.

- What limit, man?
- Mine!

Stop this shit!

- What the hell!
- Are you crazy, Frejat?

- What the hell!
- Where are you going?

What the hell! Are you crazy?

- Frejat, what's wrong?
- He's pissed.

Roberto Frejat, my love,
come back to your bros.

I'll be a good boy!

I promise!

I've friends everywhere

in the beach, in the cinema,
in the theatre,

in the slum quarter,

journalist friend,
waitress, vagabonds...

My business is not adding,
but multiplying,

I can 't make it by myself.

I walk around in a group,
disguised, masked, partying.

I feel myself at home,
in the middle of the street,

daybreak, inside the crowd.

I belong to the tribe of hugs.

Hey Caju!
I'm waiting you "there", ok?

Malu!

What's up?

How are you?

Luizinho, bring us four!

Mothers have
to give birth twice:

once, when we're born,
and then when we grow up.

- The second one is harder.
- Harder for whom?

For all of us.

Mothers are great
when they're far away.

I'm going over there.

Luizinho,
release the outgoing one...

Already?

Give it to her.

You've got to know
what you want and go for it.

That's too much:
knowing what I want,

going for it,
and being like everybody else.

- No, I won't, man!
- Let's go.

I won't!

- Good morning, my little bird!
- Good morning, honey.

Why didn't she stay
for breakfast?

She who?

The girl who slept with you.

There were no girls here.
Are you spying on me?

Yes, I am.

Why aren't you
like everyone else?

Because everyone else
is full of faults.

- And you're not?
- No, I'm not.

I don't have any faults,
I'm you're only child.

I'm perfect!

- Bye.
- Are you leaving?

- Eat your breakfast!
- No, I'll eat out.

"First comes a warm kiss,

one tongue
searching out the other,

seeing if there's chemistry
in the mouths,

if there's chemistry
in the kiss.

Then it's the skin,
if the texture is right,

hair on hair."

You know when you're
walking alone

In the daybreak
with your hand in your pocket

Out on the street

And you're thinking
about that girl

You're wishing and hoping

She wants you, too

Then finally
you meet the girl...

- What a happiness!
- What a happiness!

I'm Aries, and
we don't ask for permission,

we just walk in,
knock the door down.

I've never been afraid
of showing off.

You can stay home,
protected by four walls,

but you're alive, and
this life is to be seen.

Did you like my mortal jump?

This is my show.

Showing yourself,
you'll find yourself,

even if you get lost
along the way.

You tell her

- Everything's good...
- Good!

- Everything's fine...
- Fine!

But really,

But really...

I preferred you were Naked!

Guys, I have news for you!
I'm going to Bahia.

Hold on a second!
What are you talking about?

Somebody found
a house in Trancoso,

everybody's going.

Going? How?

I don't know.
By bus, by car, by boat,

by plane, on foot,
by train, whatever!

No! Come back here!

Do you think you're going
to travel just like that?

So what?

Who's going?

Everybody, you don't know.

Yes, but who?

Everybody, Dad, the whole gang!

No.

What do you mean "no"?

You're not going.

You can't just walk in here
announcing things.

You must ask for permission,
and you're not going!

I'm going
whether you like it or not.

If you go, don't come back!

He only moved out, Lucinha.

It was past time.

Maybe you're right.

But don't ask me to like it.

We don't like everything.

He'll learn
to survive on his own.

I'm afraid he'll get hurt.

You have to find a way
to keep him close to us.

...on the opening road,
the bombs at Rio Centro.

Inside, the Labor Day concert.

Outside, a bomb exploded
close to the power station.

This is crazy!

They just granted amnesty,

will they clamp down again?

That's probably why.
Someone didn't like all that.

Things are going to get worse.

It can't get any worse.

You think so? They can
make us wear uniforms,

put up a barbed wire fence
around the beach,

or tiles around the Lagoa,
and all that crap!

You guys are tripping.

We are always tripping.

I think I'd better go.

I'll take you home.

- Are you leaving, Pale Face?
- So early? You're ruffling, Caju!

Where are you taking me?

Far away from all that paranoia.

I've put aside all the torment

Of a world bent on not forgiving

Lovers without pretense

Delirious ways of loving

I want to smell love

I want to exhale sweat

For the day when you go away

You're crazy!

- No, I'm not!
- Yes, you are! You burn money!

If it's good for you...

- What do you know about it?
- Everything, Cazuza!

The stuff you threw out
wasn't just mine.

It was very expensive.

I'll pay for it!

Fuck your ass!

Things won't be easy
at this record company.

- I don't want to wake up early.
- Okay.

Get me different working hours.

Do you want to sleep or to work?

Both, but I want to sleep
more than I want to work.

- Good morning, Zeca.
- Good morning.

Look, this is your foreman.

Zeca, this guy here
has to obey you.

- Put him to work!
- Don't worry!

- Bye.
- Bye.

Now that you're my slave,

grab that bottle of whisky
behind Nestor

and we'll celebrate
your emancipation from slavery.

Now. Stop.

Zeca.

Coming to the same place
he goes every day...

This won't work out.

Boy, the only perfection in life

is happiness.

Cheers!

Imagine this.

Right behind this wall
is the beach,

the Atlantic Ocean,
so fucking blue.

On a day like this,
we have to fall in love.

Let's go to the beach!

Fucking pain in the ass!

What's wrong, Mom?

Why are you so sour?

I'm being a great son to you,
I'm even working.

Give me a break!

Would you please talk to me!

I brought you
what you asked for.

- Lsn't that what matters?
- What's your problem, fuck!?

I'm fucking myself.

I always do what you say.
And since you told me to,

I'm still fucking myself.

Mom,

Cazuza - give me a kiss.

- Cazuza, stop being crazy!
- Are you giving me a kiss?

Cazuza! Stop being so crazy!

Burroughs,

Henry Miller,

Kerouac,

Rimbaud.

Choose one and read it for us.

"Together, we can see
the beauty of the soul,

hidden like diamonds
in the clock of the world..."

Give it to me.

Look.

You're going to tear up
Allen Ginsberg?

Fuck yourself!

There are certain things
good for reading,

there are certain things
good for hearing,

and there are certain things
good for smoking.

You know, boy,

you may not know what you want,

but you do know
what you don't want.

So, don't waste your time!

What are you talking about?

Whatever you want to understand.

Come here.

Look. When I have
a lot on my mind,

I write down
all my insanities here.

Sometimes things
come out too fast,

so, with these
simple tools here,

we can... stop beauty.

Everything is possible, Cazuza.

Everything!

I don't care
if people slander me

Slander me - Cazuza!

My voice is hoarse I'm crazy

I'm your love understand that

You must find out
what you're missing

What you're missing

Thinking you're a hotshot
posing as a star

You just need sex!

You need sex!

- Why did you stop?
- You're off beat.

Do it wrong with me!
You're such a perfectionist!

Let's go! Let's go! One more!

It was good!

It was great!

- You drunken bastard!
- Go on!

Get out of here! You should
learn how to sing first.

If you don't like it,
shut the window!

I'm not talking to you, lady.

I just want to sleep.

Do you know
what your problem is?

You'd never drunk!

Beard-face, you don't know
what you're missing!

Go to hell!

Alcohol...

Bread is reality,
but alcohol is imagination!

It's in the Bible! Infidel!

Amen!

- That's it, Caju.
- Amen.

For me, it's over!

Come back! Come back!

Cazuza!

Come back! Come back!

This is great music, Joao.

Trash.

But that's how these kids are,

noisier and less sophisticated.

For me it's all trash.

But that's
their greatest quality!

They're not worried
about polishing it up.

Trust me!

I think they'll screw up
if they show this.

But I think
exactly on the contrary,

it's an irreverent
garage sound, it's great!

No.

What are you afraid of?

That this is crap, and they'll
call him "Daddy's boy."

That's nonsense!

Here, baby. Turn it on.

What's up, Daddy?
Is there anything wrong?

Nothing, son.

Just play your music.

Give me a light.

Light this joint.

Guys, here's the review
of our album!

"The 'Barao Vermelho' album
is finally out.

But, unfortunately,
it's disappointing for those

who are used to the boys'
explosive energy on stage.

While before an audience,
the group shows

an infectious adrenaline,
this doesn't happen on vinyl.

Rock fans would be
much happier if Barao Vermelho

invited them all to an exciting

garage rehearsal."

That's yesterday's paper,
it's over.

It's stale news.

Yesterday's paper,
day before yesterday's news.

That's right!

I belong to a cool generation.

I have no patience
for the military, parades,

or scared people.

People were petrified,
speechless, anesthetized.

We couldn 't pretend
there was nothing going on.

To change things around,
we had to scream,

drug ourselves,
go to the streets,

face our weaknesses.

We didn 't want to surrender,
become outdated, bald.

Zeca, you old faggot.

Good thing you reserved a gym!

Zeca, we could've done it
in the van.

Let's go!

Zeca!

Now, seriously.
You should take the guys

to the main floor
to look more crowded.

Give me a kiss!

Let's go!
Show me some excitement!

This place is fuckin' empty!

Come on, Mauricio!

Come on, guys!

Let's show them that rock'n'roll

is for one and for a million!

Barao Vermelho!

Baby, I'm out of my mind

Going from bar to bar

With this idle talk

Just to see you
passing by, swinging

Staring at me giving me hope

Damaging my eyes

Moving from table to table

Smiling at everyone

Pretending you're easy

Playing hard
with your heart, cutie

Everyone has a weak spot

And you're mine why not?

Yes, you're mine why not?

Cutie!

That's what I needed!

Get out, Zeca!

Shit!

Watch out!

Here I am!

Barbarella's arrived!

Here, Zeca.

Here is your glass.

The telephone!

Shit!

Hello!

Yes!

Hi, Lucinha!

How are you, honey?

Cazuza? He can't talk right now,

he's in the middle
of the concert.

The concert is wonderful!

Are you leaving, Frejat?

Don't go, Frejat!

Come here, come, come!

Hello, Lucete.

Lucete!

She's pissed off!

I lost my shirt.

I can tell.

- T-shirts are all the same.
- Thanks.

My mom is going to kill me!

There's only one-way
to avoid that...

I envy you.

You're free, you're a star.

Do you really think I'm a star?

You shine a lot.

You're beautiful.

No, you are.

All right.

Tell him to deliver it.

Okay.

I'll call you back. Bye!

Good morning!

- Good morning!
- Listen to this, Joao.

I want to be lucky
and find quiet love

That tastes like bitten fruit

In rhythm swaying in hammock

We quench our thirst
in our saliva

- Nice that!
- To be your bread, your food

Is it Caetano's?

No.

Come on, tell me!

Whose song is this?

Don't you recognize
your own sperm?

Come on, Zeca!

This is by your son!

- You're crazy!
- Last night,

Caetano sang this song
and it was just wonderful!

Everybody thought it was his,
but he said:

"No! It's Cazuza's.

The greatest poet
of this generation."

Did he really say that?

John, Cazuza is already flying.

And all-by-himself!

"l was lost at sea many times,

with my ears
full of fresh-cut flowers,

with my tongue
full of love and anguish.

Many times I was lost at sea.

How I get lost
inside the heart of some boys.

Because roses search for
a harsh landscape of bones,

and man's hands can only

imitate the roots on the ground.

How I get lost
inside the heart of some boys.

And I was many times
lost at sea.

Oblivious to the water,
I seek a death of light

to consume me."

Federico Garcia Lorca.

So much in common
Giving away our secrets...

"l just need
to tell you I love you,

to win
or lose you completely..."

It's great!

- Let's record it.
- Come on.

When we talk

About our affairs our nonsense

So much in common

Giving away our secrets

And I don't know
when I should say it

I get scared I'm so scared

I just need to tell you
I love you

To win or lose you completely

I need to tell you I love you

So much

My guitar, De!

Mauricio.

Frejat is playing
the ladies' man today.

I noticed that.

I just noticed his mouth.

Do you want some booze?

I have some here.

- That's it, man!
- Lt was great, man!

- Have some.
- Right now.

Marijuana, white powder,
booze...

Mom, what are you doing here?

More white powder,
bouncing powder...

- Give me that!
- Cazuza!

- We're all naked here.
- Give me a break!

Frejat, how can your mom
put up with all this?

My mom is just like
everybody else's.

She can't know everything.

Wait for me!

There aren't any men here.

This is Beto.

Cazuza, I've been looking
for you all night long.

I'm always around, Serginho.

Not when I need you.

I need to be alone sometimes.

But you're not alone.

I just wanted you for myself.

I don't belong to anyone.

Good luck, Beto.

What the hell, Serginho?
Let him go!

You spilled coke all over.

Are you crazy, Serginho?

I'm asking for your hand

Take me anywhere

Just a little bit of protection

For an abandoned adult

Your body with or without love

Scrapings and leftovers
are enough for me

Love me like a brother

Sincere lies are enough for me

Enough for me

Stale crumbs from your bread

Scrapings and leftovers
are enough for me

Small potions of illusion

Sincere lies are enough for me

Enough for me

The end.

And the night is over.

White foam washing my feet.

Can't you see
you belong next to me?

Why did you choose me?

In the middle of the crowd,
you looked different.

And look what happened to you.

It doesn't matter.
That's how love is.

Stay calm, everybody!

Everybody stay calm.

Easy, everybody.
Empty your pockets.

Come on, empty your pockets.

You can't prove anything here!

- Shut up!
- Don't push me!

- Where's the other guy?
- Who?

- The other guy.
- What other guy?

Get out of my way!

Police!

Police! Stand up!

- What's going on here?
- Stand up!

Frejat, what's going on?

- Frisk him!
- Be careful!

He's clean!

What do you mean: "He's clean"?

I'm crazy too. I'm never clean,
I can't be clean now.

Crazy people belong
in a mental institution.

He found my wallet!

I've been looking
for it all over!

Thank you!

You're so funny!

Watch it!

Let's go!

You're all going
to the police station!

- What?
- All of you to the police station!!

Come on!

Frejat, I'll send you
a lawyer and some pizza.

Pizza, first, okay, bro?

Pizza... Let's go!

You're in shape, Big Boss!

Are you hiding from the women?

What are you talking about?

You know I only have eyes
for your mother.

I know, but do they know?

A man like you,
looking like a movie star...

They must go crazy!

Tell me, Big Boss.

Actually, they try.

But you resist fiercely!

Well, I try, son.

You're happy, aren't you?

Happiness comes and goes.

It looks like the military
will ease up.

Yeah, right.

They'll put
another old man in power.

What did you expect?
A superhero?

Hero? Heroes for me die crazy,

they never get bald
or become bureaucrats.

Everything is easy for you, son.

No, it's not.
There's right, there's wrong,

and there's all the rest.

- A few things never change.
- What things?

Let's see how your generation
will behave in power.

Every day insomnia
convinces me that the sky

Turns everything into infinity

And that loneliness
is a pretension

Of those who hide and play games

Every day there is
a late movie on TV

Only lovers understand it

Come on, let's go!

We 're almost there, baby

To start a happy new day

That's the life
I've always wanted

The whole world waking up

While we fall asleep

Every day is a day
in the name of love

That's the life
I've always wanted

Looking for a spot
here and there

In your swaying hips

Swimming upstream
just to exercise

Every single muscle you can feel

Give me the chorus!

To start a happy new day!

Louder!

To start a happy new day!

The whole world waking up

While we fall asleep

To start a happy new day

That's the life
I've always wanted

The whole world waking up

While we fall asleep

Thank you!

A happy day
for everybody tomorrow

in a new Brazil
with you great young people!

Thank you!

One, two, and three and...

Another drink

Of course I want some

The night is never-ending

Why are we like that?

Stay with me now

And never go away

See if you can swallow me

But don't chew me up like that

I'm sorry. My mistake!

We all make mistakes.

Mistakes are fundamental.

Come on, next one!

We're having a bad day.

Come on, Mauricio!

Life has just begun for you

And you've already...

Come on, let's go!

You don't even know
which way to go

This one. It's Cartola!

Let's see what it
sounds like. Come on.

- Listen...
- That's it for us.

No, turn it on.

Cazuza, let's concentrate.

What's wrong, Frejat?
Let's play this one.

Fuck, man! Rehearsal is over.

On each corner your life
dies a little

Listen, man!
One thing at a time.

Soon you will
no longer be what you are

Calm down!

Why should it be
one thing at a time?

This is samba!

Rock singers don't sing samba!

Listen to what he's saying!

There's no such thing
as right or wrong music.

- There's good music!
- I agree!

But Barao plays rock'n'roll.
It's that simple!

I love simple things!

But sometimes it's not enough!

Fuck your ass hole, Cazuza!

Come with me!

Listen to me my darling

Although I know
you've made up your mind

On each corner
your life dies a little

Soon you will
no longer be what you are

Listen to me my love

Pay attention
the world is like a mill

That will grind up
your worst dreams

And will turn
your illusions into dust

Listen to me my darling

From each love you'll
only inherit cynicism

Suddenly you'll realize

You're on the edge of the abyss

Which you have dug
with your own feet

Recess is over. Come on!

Let's go on!
The audience is restless!

They'll soon break down
the theater.

- Zeca...
- What?

Go get Cazuza.

Cazuza! Come on, Cazuza!

- Let's go, young man!
- I'm coming!

Keep one for me.

- Let's go, guys!
- Hold this for me.

Come on, Cazuza! Come on out!

Hold on a second!

We have to go on stage now.

I'm going, fuck... wait there!

Come on, Cazuza!
The audience is going nuts!

I'm getting ready!

I'm not joking! Open the door.

Hold on, Frejat!

I'm going to burst it open.

Shit, Frejat!

Look what you've done,
you sun of a bitch!

Shit, man!
You've destroyed my face!

Shit, man!

- Sorry, little brother!
- Fuck you, little brother!

You hate me!

What'd you do with the guy!
You went crazy?

Hello! I busted my head
looking for you.

Thank you! Let the fun begin!

Go follow your star

Your star game

Secretly fantasizing

Where you want to go

Your future is uncertain

I see money, I see pain

In the dangerous paradise

That the palm of your hand
has shown

Those who give their all
never get tired

Shake, Bete, my love

Let me know when the time comes

Don 't pay attention
to those sad faces

Pretending we don't exist

Sitting down they look so funny

Owners of their own room's

A hundred thousand copies!
A hundred thousand repetitions

of the same thing!

Listen!

If ten people hear each one,
you have a million!

And ten is not a lot.

Little boy,

there are tons of people
listening to you guys,

do you understand?

That's the point.

I don't know if
I'm saying what I think.

I know I'm not
saying what I want.

Me! Me! Me! Me!

This record is not only yours,
we're a team!

Cazuza, if you leave,
you'll tear me apart.

Zeca, look at me
and tell me if I'm happy.

I like things messed up,

I want to mix everything up,

do different things.

This thing here...

Don't bite the record
that feeds you.

But if I want to do
things my way,

I have to do them on my own.

Caju...

What's this story about
going it alone?

What are you getting at?

Nowhere.

I'm out.

You're out.

Now that we're on top!

It was becoming painful,

rock'n'roll can't be painful.

What about our next record?

I love you, bro!

Our partnership will be forever.

I'll keep this as a souvenir.

Why should we lie
pretend we've forgiven?

Try and stay friends
without any resentment

The feeling is gone

What a coincidence that's love!

Our song never played again

Why try to be so polite?

Trying to distill
ulterior motives

Wasting away all my honey

Slowly from flower to flower

Among my enemies hummingbird

Why would someone make up
that he died of cancer?

Nobody is ashamed
of dying of cancer.

An ashamed dead person?

He was ashamed of what he did
when he was alive.

- His family was.
- Nobody should be ashamed.

Is there anybody here
ashamed of something?

Who is ashamed
of something here?

You!

Are you ashamed?
You don't look like it.

What about you?

Are you ashamed of anything?

You're ugly.

This little couple here.
Are you ashamed of anything?

What do we think about
when we drink red wine?

We think about dirty things.

I bet you're having
dirty thoughts.

When you leave,
you'll do something dirty.

Are you leaving?

Wait! It's early.

- I'm sorry.
- It's all right.

Calm down.

Go on! Buy her a chastity belt,

and throw away the key,
swallow the key.

From now on, it's just
the missionary position,

no more dirty things.

Leave him alone!

Bring us some whisky.

This disease is shitty!

They don't want us to be happy!

Tancredo de Almeida Neves

passed away tonight
at the Heart lnstitute

at 10:23pm.

Hello!

No, Mom, it was just a fever,
I'm fine now.

Petr?polis right now?

No, if I get better, I'll go up.

Okay. I love you.

Why should you lie

If you still don't have

The gift of knowing

How to deceive

Why? Why should you lie

If there's no need

To betray me

My angel!

My angel!

You slept in the hammock
and didn't even come in.

You want your mommy!

What's going on?

Everything I've always
wanted, I guess:

headlines, acclamation.

I think I made it!

Isn't it just wonderful?

Yes, it is.

But, sometimes, the speed
of things scares me.

- What do I want next?
- When?

I don't know.
I always want something.

If I have nothing else
to wish for...

What's going
to happen afterwards?

You need to slow down

and be more patient.

I don't know
if I can be any different.

Love of my life

From here to eternity

Our destinies were traced
in the maternity ward

Cruel, unrestrained love

I'll bring you
a thousand stolen roses

As an apology for my lies

My mistakes

Exaggerated

I throw myself at your feet

I really am exaggerated

I just love to invent love

I'll never breathe again

If you don 't notice me

I can even starve to death

If you don 't love me

And I'll abandon
everything for you

I'll beg, steal, kill

Even the most trivial things

For me it's either everything
or never again

Exaggerated

I throw myself at your feet

I am exaggerated

I just love to invent love

I throw that love at your feet

With a thousand stolen rose 's

Exaggerated

I love to invent love

Exaggerated

Cazuza!

Cazuza!

Come here, fuck!

Cazuza!

Talk to me, fuck!

Cazuza!

Calm down!

What the fuck did the doctor say?

What did the doctor say?

The doctor said
I've been 'touched' by AlDS.

What?

He said I've been
touched by AlDS.

I can't lend
my clothes to anyone,

I can't kiss anyone,

all my stuff
should be kept apart.

That's nonsense!

What does the exam say?
Let me see!

I didn't read it!

The doctor wouldn't lie.

Cazuza, calm down!

We'll look for another doctor.

I'm going back to
where everything began.

No!

Calm down!

Cazuza, come here Cazuza!

Don't leave me, my little bird.

I won't, son.

Don't let your coffee get cold.

Time doesn't stop,
and we still run around.

I'm feeling weak.

There's a world around us,
and we don't even perceive it.

I'm getting thinner
and too small for my clothes.

I feel I'm gathering
all my stuff, concentrating.

If I could, I would put
it all in a bottle

and drink it all at once.

I wonder what will be
left of me?

I can only insist.

Now that's enough! Thank you.

Honey, eat something.

No, Mom. That's enough.

Hospital food is bad enough.

American hospital food
is even worse!

Cazuza, you have to eat!

Mom, there are
so many things I can't do.

And, hey, I won't quit smoking.

Listen to that, Joao.

Okay, one cigarette.

One cigarette for what?

One cigarette a day.

Are you crazy?

One cigarette per meal,
that makes it three,

plus two for the bath,
that makes it five.

Okay, five.

Plus one per injection
and change of dressing.

Take it or leave it.

Listen, Zeca.

"Little by little
becoming poets, insane,

future singers

and magicians of
unsweetened wicked sentences."

That's the very beginning.

I'll write more,
and the chorus are:

"Ladies and gentlemen,

I bring you good tidings.

I bring you good tidings

I saw the face of death,
and death was alive."

Alive!

Don't give it to anyone.
Write the song yourself.

- Lyrics and melody?
- Yes!

It's ready!

Oh, you scared me!

What happened, Lucete?

What did the doctor say?

There's a new medicine: AZT.

Is it the cure?

It makes the virus weaker.

It's a chance, Cazuza.

Is it dangerous?

They're testing it.

I'll be their guinea pig.

You're going home.

We're all going home!

Beach!

Thank God!

I'm leaving
this shitty hospital,

I mean, Boston...

The boy who wanted
to change the world

Change the world

Stop!

I'm off beat.

You were always half off.

I know.

I'm not breathing
at the right time.

I can't do something
I know I can do.

Cazuza,
you're singing fuckin' great!

I'll make a phone call,
and I'll be back.

- It's awful!
- No, it isn't.

- Yes, it is.
- No, it isn't!

- Did you call Angela Ro Ro?
- Yes, I did.

- Did you really?
- Of course!

Nilo! I've been looking for you.

Where's my song?

Come on, Nilo.
Stop jacking me around!

If you don't want to, say so!
I don't have much time.

All right.
I'll be at the studio.

I'm here. All right.

He's putting one over on me.

Take this.

- Did you call everyone?
- Everything's set.

Let's go back to work.
Go on back!

That's it, go back there!

That's it Very well.

Does anybody have
Angela Ro Ro's phone number?

Let's start from the middle.

Do you want to take a break?

I don't have time for that.

Come on, guys!

My pleasure

Is now life threatening

My sex and drugs

Have no rock'n'roll

I'll pay the shrink's bill

So I'll never find out who I am

Find out who I am

The boy who wanted
to change the world

Change the world

Now watches everything perched
on the middle of the wall

On the wall

All my heroes '
died from an overdose

My enemies are now in power

Ideology

I want one for my life

Ideology

I want one for my life

I prefer the misfits
of the night

to the boring people

that don't know
how to meet the dawn.

This is the remedy.

If you're not born crazy,
you have to do something.

- Right, guys?
- Right!

Enough! Let's go home.

No way! It's still early.

We haven't turned into
a pumpkin yet.

- No! You've drunk too much.
- Stop it, Malu.

But excess is fundamental.

- Right, guys?
- Right.

What the hell, Malu!

Drink it all!

What are you doing, Malu?

Wasting all that whisky!

Good night.

Where are you going?

To the fuckin' mother!!

Excuse me!

Oh, no! Water?
Is this a conspiracy?

Your mom asked me to do that.
She made me swear

that you'd take your medicine
on time, please!

Luizinho, don't do everything
my mom asks you.

She'll take advantage of you.

Luizinho, do you have
any more AZT?

We could turn it
into powder and sniff some.

Zeca, this drug is for me alone.

Cheers!

I'm writing this
on a cold, dreary afternoon.

I'm working to scare away
my loneliness and my thoughts.

Today I publicly
announced my disease.

I'm feeling more
light and free...

But I still have many fears:

fear of flying, of the stage,

of loving, of dying,
of being happy...

Fear of doing analysis
and losing my inspiration.

I make money singing
about my misfortune.

Buying a farm
and having babies '

might be a way
of staying on earth forever

because records
can scratch and break.

Love, Cazuza.

Remember that time we were
driving around in lpanema?

This guy cut us off,
Cazuza opened the window

and said: "You fucking faggot!"

The guy came out with a gun
and said: "Who's a faggot?"

So everybody jumped out
of the car: "l am, I am, I am!"

This is wonderful.

- Maneco was the first one.
- Drink some.

We were on our way
to Rock in Rio.

Are you afraid of drinking?

I remember that.
You kept talking about it.

- Shake, Bete, my love...
- Where's the little pot?

- Malu! Finally!
- Too late, Malu...

The party is over!

This stupid party is over!

- Get out!
- Calm down, Joao!

Get out!

- Out!
- Easy, sir.

Why are you standing there?
Get out!

Caju! My purse!

All right! I scored.

- Are you crazy?
- Crazy? Me?

Of course, I am!
How could I be sane here?

Yes, I'm crazy!

Yes, I am.

But who is crazier?

What can I do to be
as crazy as you are,

taking your medicine
and getting drunk?

- It's none of your business.
- Yes, it is.

It certainly is!
It is, too, my business!

- They're my friends, Dad.
- Friends?

Those people are no good!

Nobody is good enough
in this life.

My friends are no good,
I'm no good.

You're no good.

I fire at the sun

I'm strong I'm by chance

My machine gun is filled
with sorrow

I'm just a guy

Tired of running
in the opposite direction

Without a winner's podium
or a girlfriend's kiss

I'm just another guy

But if you think I'm a loser

You should know
the dice are still rolling

Because time never stops

A few days, I do
A few days, I don 't

I go on living without a scratch

Off the compassion
of those who hate me

Your pool is full of rats '

Your ideas do not
correspond to the facts

Time never stops

I see the future
repeating the past

I see a museum
of great new things

Time never stops

Never stops it never stops

A few days, I do
A few days, I don 't

I go on living without a scratch

Off the compassion
of those who hate me

Your pool is full of rats '

Your ideas do not
correspond to the facts

Time never stops

I see the future
repeating the past

I see a museum
of great new things

And time never stops

It never stops

No, no, no, no, no, no
it never stop!

Thank you!

Let's go.

Hi, Juju. Help me out here.

Come on, Bene.

Juju! I was missing you.

Be careful, Bene.

All right, son. You're home!

Let me help you here.

Slowly.

Thanks, Bene.

We rush and rush,

but there's nothing better
than just sitting down.

I always preferred being lazy.

I was ashamed to.

I was born shameless.

I remember that cable car
when you were a child.

You cried because you
wanted me to buy the ticket,

then you cried
because you didn't want to go.

Then you cried
because you wanted to go.

Then you couldn't stop laughing

and spitting on the people
down below.

Do you remember?

I go back to the garden

Certain that I should cry

Because I know only too well
you don't want

To come back to me

I complain to the rose's

But that's nonsense
roses can't talk

They can only emanate the aroma

Of the perfume
they steal from you

You should come here

To see my sad eyes

And maybe dream my dreams

At last

Mom.

Whatever happens,
I'll always be around.

Psss...

Life, crazy life

Brief life

Since I can't lead you

I want you to lead me away

Life, crazy life

Enormous life

No one will forgive us

Our crime doesn't pay

Come, come... Come!

Life, crazy life

Brief life

Since I can't lead you

I want you to lead me away

Life, crazy life

Brief life

Since I can't lead you

I want you to lead me away

Away! Away! Away! Away!

Love is the most ridiculous
thing in life.

We seek in it
an impossible purity,

a purity that is always
setting, going away.

Life came and led me along.

Being lucky is abandoning
yourself and accepting

this vague idea of paradise
that haunts us,

a beautiful and brief idea,

Iike butterflies
that only live for 24 hours.

Dying doesn 't hurt.

CAZUZA DIED IN 1990,
AT THE AGE OF 32.

THE SAME YEAR,
HIS PARENTS FOUNDED

THE SOCIEDADE VIVA CAZUZA,
THAT USES HIS ROYALTIES

FOR THE TREATMENT
OF HIV-POSITIVE PATIENTS.

I pick you up at school

And fill you up with all my love

I take you to a party

And test your sex
as if I were your teacher

I make weird promises
short as a nice dream

If I hide the truth from you

Baby, it's to protect you
from loneliness

It's part of my show

It's part of my show my love

I mistake your thighs
for other girls ' thighs

I show you all my pain

I make a baby in you
I give you another life

To show you who I am

I wander under Arpoador's
deserted moonlit rocks

I say hello to the enemy
I find shelter

Inside my traitor's heart

It's part of my show

It's part of my show my love

I make up excuses
I start a fight

I say I'm not here

I live in a incoherent clip
an old-fashioned Pierrot

Half bossa nova half rock'n'roll

It's part of my show

It's part of my show my love

My love...

My love,

My love...

Dara, dara dara...

THE END
