    [A+] Really awesome. The whole film is a modern history of Brazil, and it is also a complete history of violence. The last easter egg proves that the whole film is actually an adaptation of real events, which is really unexpected darkness. Very few movies have attracted me from the very first shot of the opening scene. Starting from the first lens, everything in the whole film is controlled perfectly, everything is just right, and the most commendable one has to mention the perfect lens and...

    The technique is extremely documentary, and in some cases, it even uses amateur techniques to achieve documentary effects against the norm, which can be described as very bold. The play is very careful, a biographical flashback narrative depicting the violent evolution of three generations, and the final scene makes people shudder. When it was even more terrible, the little actor finally embarked on a crime road, which made people doubt the educational function and ethical value of the film....

    [A+] A masterpiece worthy of all praise. The footage and editing in the first few minutes are perfect. Knife, blood, killing, madness, devouring, fleeing, all the elements of the text and the metaphor of the relationship between the character and the environment are accurately constructed, and the film’s identity is established in the editing template of the textbook. keynote. After that, the interstitial and flashback of the story never stopped, split-screen narrative (note the difference in...

    Segmented narrative / high-speed editing to create a sense of speed / bipolar lens / hand-held shaking mirror / vertical and horizontal movement to strengthen the atmosphere of urgency; the unesthetically violence of the slums can be seen in this film, guns and drugs are the best synonym for chaos and disorder; this is death The city is also a purgatory on earth; the reincarnation of all things is a story with no ending, and it is a place where people in another world fight for it. It is not...

    I don't like legendary stories, but spectacle movies are the most annoying. Don't push everything cruelly, and shirk the responsibilities that you should have as a...

    A shocking movie. Yes, the impact of this film is hard to describe in words. First of all, the director’s level is very high. The shooting techniques and editing methods are all the same as the current state-of-the-art. The soundtrack also forms a huge contrast with the theme. The more the story is The cruel music becomes more unrestrained, the slums of Rio de Janeiro, the closest place in the world to hell, the movie truly restores everything that happened there, starting from the child,...

    Violent gunfights, high-speed editing, shaking mirrors, multi-pictures, and various senses of disorder. It seems a shocking movie, the way the story is told is quite legendary. Brazil has been promoted as the first holy place in the minds of the sturdy...
