Who knows what God looks like

The city named God has surprisingly neat houses and roofs, and the dirt streets are really flat and clean. There is no trace of blood mixed in. Only in places outside the city of God, where there are police officers, did blood flow down the stone steps shockingly all over the ground.
If the most shocking violence is violence against angelic children, then should this type of violence perpetrated by teenage children be called angelic violence? The rule of the City of God is that there is no God. The seventeen or eighteen-year-old robbery gang lays down no murder rules. The ten-year-old children happily help them to kill; the ten-year-old children grow up to eighteen and become gods through brutality and drugs. The owner of the city, and then happily killed by children about ten years old. Who will remember that they are children? Violation of moral code or no moral code, which one should be abandoned by God? When ZE, the kid who shot and killed, looked down at the camera, I seemed to see God.

A film adapted from real deeds, the affirmation of a mediocre Oscar is often easy to make people overlook how genius it is. If it is not a different kind of the City of God, the existence of the last photographer makes people realize that there is still a plot, and it is the same when viewed as a documentary. The story seems to be scattered and actually closely connected. The sincerity of the whole film structure design needs you to see it at the end. Photography is also quite styled, especially with a lot of overhead shots. Against the background of the sky and the roof, the black children's particularly black and white eyes showed a special simplicity and brutality, a daze and greed.
Let's assume that the word "cool" is still a purely derived meaning, and it is commendable. The coolest movies are definitely "Fight Club" and "City of God".
