    Looking at the end of a group of children walking in the alleys of the city of God with guns, a bully died, how many bullies will be reborn again? This is the city of...

    When the film is amplified, only the sound of bang bang bang is heard, and the rest of the time is mostly spent in the dull tone of the narrator and the broken and dim fragments on the screen. It's the kind of expression that makes the film seem brutal and horrifying and bordering on despair. Rio de Janeiro is such a beautiful...

    Slumdog Millionaire is very similar to it in terms of the subject matter of the reaction and the use of certain scenes. The most obvious is the opening scene, in "Poor" it is the chase of the police child, here it is the chase of the man and the...

    Awesome editing and narrative structure, smooth flow and exceptional realism. The City of God is actually a city of slaughter by Xiaobawang, a child who never understands love, and was born for violence. The previous person could not be him, and the future person could not be him either. Especially for Benny, he can't distinguish between liking and love. He just likes to possess it, but love wants to see each other...

    The first time I saw a Brazilian movie, I was a little surprised, not losing to the works of some movie powers. No wonder it's on the...

    Tropical-style violent film, very different from Once Upon a Time in America and The Godfather. Unlike the last two films, which use the technique of listening to thunder in a silent place, this one is a generous and light-hearted depiction of the ups and downs of the gangs in the city of God in the past and present, and it seems more like a violent carnival. It is filled with simple logic and simple ideas. The violence didn't feel bloody at all, and I even felt the cuteness of these...

    "The city of God that was abandoned by God, a city where rape, smuggling, drug trafficking, murder, and robbery are everywhere except stealing, because there is no need to steal here, and almost all the crimes are underage children, this is the real hell And the place where human nature is lost. The superb editing, rich plot, and suitable soundtrack make up a very good film, based on a true...

    Bloody violent crime, a state of anarchy at the bottom, cruel and sharp. In petty bourgeois terms, I was completely shocked. (The ending is rather...

    Brazil was so chaotic in the 1970s. The story is about A Pao, a photographer who loves photography. It tells how children become gangsters and how they are ruthlessly shot and killed by the next...
