The protagonist in "City of God" is not a person, but a place. The City of God was a slum in Brazil in the 1960s. Since the 1980s, it has become the most dangerous place in Rio de Janeiro. The film tells the stories of many people, but everything is told through the eyes of a child: Buska, a black child born in a poor family, is weak and afraid of becoming a criminal, satisfied with a low price. Salary work. The environment in which he lives is full of violence, and he does not have any chance to escape. However, his way of observing and exploring society is different from others. He has his own unique insights into reality: because he has the eyes of an artist who is good at discovering life. Finally, he became a professional photographer. This may be his salvation.
Buska is not the real protagonist of this movie, and the plot development of the movie is not based on him. But his life is involved in this story, and through his observation of life, we can also see the film's condemnation of human degradation and endless violence.
