It's a shame that Cinema Novo has become so insular to Brazil, that I have to dig through fan subs to be able to appreciate this.
The bitter taste of poverty. There is only enough power for one character to become angry and voracious. When that dissipates, the reality becomes clear.
The soldiers try to talk to the locals, but their words have no meaning. Nothing has meaning anymore in the desert. The sacred cow is just empty promises from a religious zealot - but without it, these people truly have nothing.
You only die for nothing when you're starving!
