A very shocking violent aesthetic crime drama. Each character is vivid and vivid. The character is pure and full. The rapid change of the scene sometimes makes people feel that there is a thrill of headshot killing. Sometimes people shudder at such slums and even fantasize about themselves if they are there. Is it because I am afraid of urine flow, not only speaking Portuguese in language, it is just right, there is no mischievous American English, and not too gentle and formal like British English, and lack of scornfulness, and a sexy and romantic tone that is different from French~~Portuguese Let the greed, cold-blooded, and violent advocacy of such a Latin American ghetto be naked in front of the public, naked but not shy.
From A Pao’s self-narration and narration, the development of the plot is brought out to bring out the story of every character. The audience sees that in the end, we are still in the cloud and we will be silent for A Pao’s adaptability, good at seizing the opportunity, and
not talking about the values ​​that the film wants to express from the perspective of human nature, caring for the world, and so on. Maybe the director simply roots. I don’t want to convey any truth, I just want to express this pure reality. Only from what I have gained after watching the movie, I can only say that living with flesh and blood, love and hatred is really good~~

    A masterpiece of magical realism with clever structure. It's like a chapter-style novel. The appalling low-age crime, guns and drugs have become entertainment for children in slums. The story of Shuai Nide shows how ordinary law-abiding citizens assimilated with gangs. The protagonist A Pao’s photographic dream is so unique in the city abandoned by God, but even so, he failed to break free from the original circle. He still relied on the danger to contact criminals and consume his own background to live and live. The glory of the warrior is very harmful, don't talk about blood, I only see the cold corpse. Ruthless killing game, soft fear of hard, hard fear of death. The newborn calf is fearless, and the champion of this violent game is getting younger and younger. In the end, the little devil announced that their time had come, reminding me of the killing of Omar in the line of fire. The corrupt bureaucracy is sitting on reaping the benefits of the fishermen.

    Violent gunfights, high-speed editing, shaking mirrors, multi-pictures, and various senses of disorder. It seems a shocking movie, the way the story is told is quite legendary. Brazil has been promoted as the first holy place in the minds of the sturdy people.
