Brazilian cinema has power

In addition to "Elite Force", I have watched two Brazilian films in total. The last one was "City of God". I think I am lucky. The two Brazilian films I have watched are excellent. These two films are both films that reflect the social situation in Brazil. After watching it, I dare not go to Brazil. I always feel that I will be shot by stray bullets when I walk on the streets of Rio de Janeiro, and I recall watching "Rage to the Rescue" before. When I mentioned that kidnapping incidents in Brazil also happened from time to time, I sighed for a while: Damn, is this the prototype of GTA?
"City of God" and "Elite Force" are serious literary and art films, both of which have won awards at the international A-level, but there are so many scenes of gun battles in these two films that most robber films are It's out of reach.
Imagine that a city is clearly differentiated into urban areas and slums. One second it was a prosperous city, and the next second it entered a world of drugs and 7.5mm bullets... I think it's very exciting... But it's just I hope it's just a look, it won't be exciting to be hit.
The young literary and artistic young man who loves photography in "City of God" and the reserve police who are familiar with the masterpiece in "Elite Force" have all become qualified residents in the chaos of Rio de Janeiro. They have all learned the means of survival. Killing City, the name should still be very suitable for this kind of city. I remember that at the end of "Elite Force", the protagonist broke the head of the drug dealer with a blessing, and a new BOPE (special law enforcement force) leader was born. In the future he will use killing to keep the peace.
Why did Brazil become such a place? I have no idea.
Actually I'm thinking about a question now, if I go to Brazil and buy a rifle (easy...) and then I divide it into many, many parts. Then send these parts back to China in batches and assemble them. I don't know if they can or not? Are there any experts who can give pointers? Thank you.

    The 08 Golden Bear Award film "Elite Force" creates a strong sense of reality with rough images and overexposed and underexposed photography. The yellow and blue lights are exactly the colors of the Brazilian flag. According to friends who have stayed in Brazil, this film is a national film of Brazil. I think it must be the contradictions in the Brazilian society: crime at the bottom and numbness in the middle class. But the problem is that too much use of narration makes the characters thinner and makes the screen action less, so 3.5 points.
