The images in the movie have dazzling energy, making the audience forget the subtle distinction between life and death, or the insurmountable abyss between "life" and life without dreams. But behind the perfect camera technology, strong colors, and electronic jazz movie music that can be listened to throughout the summer, the City of Gods is still a tragedy, a tragedy of extreme violence, advanced taste, and chilling. But no one would cry for the death of the character in this tragedy, because the life here is worthless.
Let Tarantino come and watch this movie!
This is not a city. God never guards this city. Everyone must start from the bottom and make a living with guns or wide-angle lenses. Every second is soaked in drugs, sweat, and blood. The camera lens flashed across the screen with the rapid movement of twenty year-round summers. The gloomy slums grow into the gloomy and lawless suburbs, and the smooth brown-skinned children grow into murderous adults. In a happy moment, they almost seem to be the masters of the city, but the gunshots sounded their eyes. Violent fire broke out inside, and the camera jerked forward quickly. The audience recalled in the bloody light that they were still at the bottom, where life was cheap and could not be exchanged for anything.
