The city of God forgotten by God

This film is the most violent one I have ever seen. It has surpassed the aesthetics of violence. It is different from Quentin's "Pulp Fiction". It is more realistic in the presentation of violence than "Pulp Fiction". It is different from "Guessing the Train". Everyone here is the forgotten people of God. This is purgatory.

The narration is in place, the editing is like a hearty samba, and the background music gives the plot and the scene better performance more often. The perfect editing also makes the film have a lot of dramatic echoes.

When the group of three first let go, when he walked towards the church holy, I felt that at that moment, he was led by God.

Xiaodouzi was originally just a small follower of the Gang of Three, but the expansion of his inner desire for power opened the most important scene of the film.

Little Overlord

The gangs are fighting, and when there is a big gang, the City of God is still in a stable situation.

The camera that records all the greedy desires in the city of God comes from the addict, and the bloody people who record the city of God come from the city of God.

Hongmao is considered a good man by the enemy, and has repeatedly survived Xiaobawang's ambitions. And the ass kid who lamely killed Benny directly caused the little bully to take a gun and get red hair.

But on the way to dry Hongmao, I ran into La Niu, and unfortunately she was unwilling to be stuffed with dog food, causing La Niu's marksman boyfriend to turn to Hongmao.

So Xiaobawang said on the way to find Hongmao: "Why didn't I kill him?"

The collusion between Xiaobawang and Tiaozi is both expected and brilliant in the end of the film. This clip was recorded through a photographer's lens, not an ordinary lens. Such processing makes the unexpected collusion between the police and the robbers intriguing. The role change of the male lead photographer also allows the film to highlight the importance of news in exposing the facts of violent crimes.

Xiaobawang's legendary life finally went bankrupt and died under Mao's spears. This wave of children, like him, took pleasure in killing. Like him, he felt that killing and owning guns were very ostentatious things. Similarly, handsome Ned's death was also dramatic. He handed the gun to the person who wanted to kill him, and even at the last minute, he asked him: "Why do you want to participate in the fire fight?" And the father of the child was his first one. The person who shot to death.

Ode to damn violent joy.
