However, regardless of the scenery or the environment, there is one thing in common behind: the alienation of people.
At the beginning of "Man-made Landscape", a long lens that lasted more than five minutes stunned people.
The "City of God" starts with people chasing a fleeing chicken with guns, especially when the protagonist in the film is confronted with each other, people's hearts are always hanging.
Compared with "The Godfather", which also reflects the underworld, the character of the people in the tropics gives this film a very unique look. The color of the whole film is very rich, with large blocks of tones. The music at the beginning is unrestrained and enthusiastic. It is really a Brazilian film. The dialogue and narration are also simple (I found the subtitles only after I watched it halfway through, watching the movie, scrolling the subtitles myself, and I was exhausted). It is not like "Young and Dangerous" talking about loyalty, and there is no conspiracy in "The Godfather". The trick is simply to kill. From adults to children, anything can be an excuse for murder.
LIZ in the film grew up in such an environment since he was a child, and enjoys killing people. The same is true when you grow up. All happiness, problems, and lifestyles are solved by fighting and killing, including girlfriends, or sexual problems. For him who grew up in such an environment, killing is a way of working and living, including education.
So he also used killing to educate or train children or newcomers.
Therefore, in such a city of God-a city where killing and violence are supreme, the scenes of repayment should be staged like this.
The small one kills the old, waits for the small one to grow old and grow old, and the smaller one grows up again, and then kills the old one. . . . . Just like the end of the article, and like my hometown. When I was young, I also mixed for a while. In the eyes of children, those "hero" stories are always circulated. Together with the films and martial arts novels in Hong Kong at that time, they have been intrigued by fighting and killing since they were young. Whether it is to protect oneself or help others, gangs and violence are inevitable for survival. condition. Thinking about it now, it is a ridiculous and helpless reality.
In this fight and kill game, no one is the real winner, except time. All people rely on time and lose to time.
Like the endings of many movies, such stories are constantly being staged everywhere, from neighborhoods to large countries, as long as we have not learned non-violent ways to solve problems.
This world is actually a reflection of our hearts. Because we have a tendency to violence in our hearts, we like to use violence to solve problems: one, effective; two, simple; three, fast. No need to be wordy, no time consuming, no reason to ask a lawyer to file a lawsuit.
There is a saying that children who grow up in a violent environment tend to be violent from an early age, and children who grow up in a caring environment have a kind heart from an early age.
So, think about it, when we say that the world is too violent, are we also the ones who create violence? At least, I used to be such a person, I just hope that I will not be like this in the future. For others, but also for yourself.
