An unexpected movie

Never thought I would watch Brazilian movies. I can still understand some English, but the Brazilian language really doesn't understand it. So in fact, in the first twenty minutes or so, I was doing other things all over again, and I only looked up when I felt I needed to see it. But I never expected that the plot attracted me to finish watching it unknowingly. It was not until after the film was broadcast that I realized that I actually watched it with relish afterwards, and didn't make any further excursions.
Speaking of the theme, the theme of this movie is of course the unscrupulous drug dealers in the slums, the corruption of the police station and the struggle of the squad in the cracks. But what impresses me more deeply is the attack on the rich class or even the middle class. Those young students, rich second-generation or rich third-generation, go to slums for charity because of the kindness that still exists in their hearts, but does this kind of charity have greater significance? No, it can only give these young people a sense of balance and peace of mind in their enjoyment of eating, drinking, and having fun. The young student who sold Netu to drug dealers was even more of a dregs among them, and it was reasonable for Netu to beat him up. When Neto yelled at EX: You are all in the same group, and you and those people are all in the same group, I can feel his injustice, anger and despair, which also laid the foundation for the second installment. The basis of his cynicism. He and his brother felt the corruption and injustice of the police station. He also wanted to be a lawyer, but after the death of his brother, he resolutely gave up his original ideal, chose the second ideal, and went on for his brother.
What makes me feel the deepest about this film is the depression of the whole film. There is positive and positive, but these positive optimism are not as big as roar, anger, and sadness, so I think the director and screenwriters want to use this film to arouse the attention of the society. The rise of conscience and the government’s introspection, but they actually know that this road is difficult, especially the government’s introspection is particularly difficult, so their disappointment and even despair in their hearts are even greater, although reason tells They must be full of optimism.
I have never been to Brazil, but I have a good impression of Brazil, so I hope it will get better and better.

    It's not good to use violence to control those rhetorical law students.
