There is no God, all on oneself

3.5. The city of God abandoned by God. My resource subtitles are different; I have been translating "City of God" into "City of God", which is of course no problem. In the film, when the blacks in the city of God held a Christian ceremony before the robbery, they couldn't help feeling the cultural influence of the European colonists on the colony, which was a violent and bloody cultural output. This film can be described as a model of "killing without blinking"; however, I like this violent aesthetic. In the film, the more understatement of murder and robbery, the heavier it will hit people's hearts; this is a very good film technique, which is worth learning from. The protagonists invited in the film are all non-professional extras; their acting skills are smooth and good, which makes people feel that they are not acting, but are really carrying out their daily lives. (There is no love and peace in their lives, only violence and betrayal.) The early stage of the film uses a lot of narration, which is a bit cumbersome; I think it's okay. It was not until the end of the film that I firmly believed that the protagonist of the film was "Little Overlord"; the film was the history of the "Little Bean" in the slums to the "Little Overlord" who was on the throne.

From running errands with people to mastering the drug-trafficking industry in the city, he was finally shot and killed by his younger brother; it was a total tragedy.

The so-called "The back of the throne is thorns, and blood is on the thorns, and the blood is flowing through the corpses of countless people"; "There is only one crown, and there are indeed countless people who want him."

    The smooth and proficient editing skills and dazzling image texture are the first contributors to the unique style of the film, and the outstanding performances of a group of amateur actors beyond the age limit are rare. Multiple narrative methods allow reality and fiction to intertwine in a fatalistic cycle. This story is both an excellent representation of a specific place and a specific era, and an exploration and description of the deep commonalities of human nature, which is neither cynical nor pretentious.

    Violence is always an integral part of slums
