não tem tantas pessoas assim que tratam lampião como herói - tu só não sabe diferenciar curiosidade e fascínio por uma figura histórica de endeusamento e idolatria pelas suas ações

O CANGACEIRO DO FUTURO (2023)

Continuing the SERTÃO FUTURISTA (2023) series, in this collage I used a scene from the movie O CANGACEIRO (1970) as the main image, mixing it with elements from the Star Wars universe, such as the empire's ships, robots and the classic Death Star in all its glory.

You've heard it of cowboys, You've heard it of pirates, Now lemme present you something more that is just as interesting: Cangaceiros

These fancy fellas were bands of people who turned into nomad bandits in the late 19th-early 20th century northeastern Brazil, where living in general was really hard, and to this day have gathered a mixed bag of opinions due to their "social banditry" A big number of them were ingenious people who joined either because of personal vengence (armed disputes between families were really common), looking for better living or because the lifestyle appealed to them. A little excerpt of them in wikipedia says: "The bandits often behaved well to the poorer sections of society performing acts of charity, buying goods for higher than usual prices from small shopkeepers and giving free parties ("bailes"). In contrast, the wealthy were robbed, targeted for forced monetary contributions (extortion) and were often kidnapped and held to ransom. The cangaceiro bands were sheltered by helpers within the population, who also provided information which helped them escape from police forces, known as volantes, sent by the government to destroy them. The poorer inhabitants of the backlands of the Brazilian Northeast were generally badly treated by the paramilitary police, and often preferred the presence of cangaceiro bands in their settlements.[1]" As any outlaw group, they weren't 100% good tho. There's several stories of families who were terrorized by them and the most famous cangaceiro of history, Lampião ("Oil lamp"  because he could fire a lever-action rifle so quickly that it looked like he was holding a lamp) have tales that when he died, both heaven and hell denied his entry into afterlife. I just really love the concepts of historic outlaws in general and i think everyone agress on that, so really wanted to offer this new "genre" for you guys!
