Traditional form of ritual brazilian, african, and christian. Have a sense of fate that he"s being tricked. Wants to see her so badly that he turned around and failed. Orfeu in movie is silly but euridice brings something to him after she dies. It is through her death that brings the transformation of himself. Apollo = sun and orfeu plays the god of the sun in the dance. Zeca can play the guitar to make the sun rise. With orfeu"s death, it doesn"t come mean that music or poetic shit dies. The kids are going to pick him his shit and responsibility of making the sun rise: zeca playing the guitar.
