    Very pornographic and violent. The best Brazilian movie I have ever seen reflects the violent situation in the slums of Brazil that is disturbing. It's a pity that this film did not win the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film, and it didn't even get a nomination. It is really an Oscar bead. The film is adapted from the novel of the same name by Paul Lins. A large part of the novel is about facts. The dwarf gang at the end of the film formed Rio de Janeiro’s most notorious gangster "Red...

    The film captures the brutality and disorder of Rio de Janeiro's slums, and the works can be smelled across the screen. In terms of photography, he showed his unique techniques, holding hands, subtracting frames, and panning the camera freely. The sharp and fast-paced editing made the film cast a cold and continuous violent catharsis. The perspective of news, first-person narration, records the cruel images of the Devil’s City for decades and generations of gangsters. The soundtrack is brisk...

    As mentioned in "Blood Diamond", the City of God is a city that has been abandoned by God. The film is exactly the same as the bottom social environment of Brazil. The editing shots are messy to the point of distinctiveness. With a little local black, a bloody social group portrait is completed. Compared with other films that reflect the local living environment, this is indeed It is the best, because it uses a way that is even close to a documentary and a lens that is infinitely close to the...

    "Which is more suitable for miracles than the City of God?" The first half of this movie is good, exposing the cruelty of the slums, and the second half of it exposes the corruption of the police and the government. It is estimated that the city of God has become brutal. The reason. In the last segment, Xiaobawang’s younger brother killed Xiaobawang. This may indicate that cruelty and war will not stop in an environment like a slum. This is the most desperate thing. Is the city of God a city...

    No matter fighting, earning a living, or looking for fun, they have enough energy. They do it when they think of it. They are always energetic and explosive. They don’t know what is called fatigue and sub-health. No matter how bad the situation is, they must win their own place. , Must declare their existence. Rio de Janeiro’s sun is fierce, dusty, and social order is chaotic. It is an active volcano. People with dark fire of life have no chance and no right to...

    Amazing! Shock! Some clips are often used as templates for audio-visual analysis, such as dynamic connection, bipolar lens, hand-held shaking, and quick cut. In the shooting, a large number of light strobes and vertical and horizontal movements are used to create a sense of urgency and speed. As a group of violence, blood and blood. Realistic stories about children with sinful human nature, the audiovisual senses are hung to the tipping point, it is very rare. The city of God has been forgotten...

    In the end, the gap between the walls is like the voyeuristic perspective of "Rear Window" and the static shooting of death. Perhaps it can be regarded as Susan Sontag in "On Photography", "Just as the camera is the sublimation of a gun, shooting someone is also a sublimation. Murder-a kind of soft murder, suitable for a sad and frightened era.” It turns out that the two opposite sides of life and death, hope and despair, favor and betrayal, pervade the cruelty. But it can only be described as...
