Surely, Bang Bang was a milestone in the history of national art.
Such great works which eternal, like many Kubrick films, Bang Bang was also hated by viewers of his time.
But this is due to one factor really easy! The novel was visionary and your target audience meager understanding of art more sublime.
Bang Bang goes the Pulp Fiction genres in construction, however, follows the concepts of the High Level arts background. Criticism disguised as super intelligent dialogues cheap literature.
The main story is a tragedy in the best Greek style, real pearls and subplots that compete with our top national stories.
Characters authentic and rich in semiology. From the likes of Ben (the only official hero of Brazil, in part by Chico Buarque), Aquariums (a scientist ahead of his time - that would be fish), Zorroh (which is alluded to the concept Zorrah international heroes of Brazil). .. Pop aesthetic with the costumes in the style of the art video games that have more contemporary. A fantastic setting, but camouflaged within the history of Planet Earth. Bang Bang goes into a kind of alternate reality.
The novel was hated in Brazil because the plot was dense (because it is tragic genre) and simple by being the contact times with humor.
Imagine a country where you only get kisses every two minutes, a novel where the main romantic couple, alias having only two pairs of this kind, one enjoying adventures (Ben and Daiana) and another living a Romeo and Juliet style romance (Neon and Peny )? A villain who is worth nothing, a real monster, but constructed so captivating as to cause the viewer to root for both good and evil. A ship weighing anchor in the middle of the desert, a communist building his boat in a western (such a utopia which his personality)? It was too much for the intellect of the masses and pseudo critical social columns.
Bang Bang is a story that has spent 17 years to build. Can not go wrong with such dedication. What happened was an illiterate public good in arts.
