The film is adapted from a real story, and many photos of the parties are also shown at the end of the film. I have never been to Brazil, and I have limited knowledge from history books. The only few impressions are: South America, the fourth largest land area, tropical rain forests, Portuguese, football, Pele, Samba, huge statue of Jesus... But if you watch this movie, you will see Brazil A very subversive impression is formed, and the images in the book are all beautified. It reflects the living state of a slum in the city of God, which does not have the order of life in a modern city. This is not a civilized society, but a place without institutional constraints. Gangs are very far away in our lives, not to mention children, even adults and even older people come into contact with gangs. But when you watch the children in the movies, they are holding guns at a young age, fighting in the streets, stealing and robbing, anyway, they are all evil. But as a state apparatus, the police also selectively enforce the law for the sake of profit, and do nothing at all. The film spans a long time, from childhood life to adult world, there are reflections. The narrative technique of the film is also quite stylish, not in the order of time that we usually do, it is a bit similar to Quentin's "Pulp Fiction". What impressed me deeply was not the teller of the story, but the other experiencer in the story, Xiaobawang, who was called Xiaodouzi at first, and he laughed and laughed nonchalantly every time he did bad things. He was in a city of God, and he went to church to ask for beads. He wore the beads until he was finally killed and never left. But he was doing things diametrically opposed to such things as truth, goodness and beauty. In this kind of unconstrained place, the benefits are forever. You are a wave of people, I am a wave of people, scrambling for territory. Watching this movie, you think it is real in this world, not the kind of Infernal Affairs, it is a commercial movie. The role of children and their parents is actually missing, that is to say, basically there is no parent, and it is rarely seen that there are parents to lead the child to the right path. The only parent who showed up and also educated the children, one of the two children went astray, and the other was the storyteller of the movie, and he was on the right track. Of course, some are also forced to become gangsters, because in that environment, it is very difficult for you to maintain this kind of self-cleaning ability. Only by picking up a gun can you protect your rights, but he picks up a gun. At that moment, he was no longer qualitatively different from these gangsters. He also became a member of the gang. He also killed innocent people indiscriminately, and he also had enemies. A background of the true story, the real society, this is hell. This is totally unimaginable in a society that lives in our country’s public security situation. Compare For example, there is a scene where there is a shop selling bread, and a group of kids rush in and snatch them, arbitrarily snatching things away. Insults and murders are not uncommon. After reading it, who wouldn't want to say that the current happy life should be cherished! Tell me: be content.
