Director, you have worked hard

Male Pig's Foot A and Male Pig's Foot B are good brothers. They are orphans who grew up playing in a dirty slum. When A was eighteen years old, he slept with a girl once, and became a father in a daze. The child didn't cry when he was born, but he scared his father to cry. Seeing that B is about 18 years old, he is very irritable when he is immersed in the anguish of thinking about breaking things. When he is irritable, it is easy to think wildly, and thinking of going to his own father.
So A is very active to help B find his father.
Two people searched, searched and searched, so that A's family was broken up, the job was lost, and the home was copied. There was no place to sleep and had to go to the underworld with others. Fortunately, B finally found his father. After some embarrassment and doubts when the father and son met for the first time, B's father decided that the prodigal son would go back and recognize the father and son, bought B new clothes and made longevity noodles to prepare for his 18th birthday. When you see this, you think this is a Hong Kong movie that is about to have a happy ending, but unexpectedly, a large number of police officers took B's father away. Only then did B know that my father was a habitual thief who returned to his old business just a few days after he was released from prison. He even stole the expenses for his birthday. What added fuel to the fire was that at this time, male pig's foot A also learned that male pig's foot B's father was the murderer who killed his own father, whom he had been thinking about for 20 years but never met. Brotherhood and father-killing hatred, A broke out, A exploded, and A picked up a gun and pointed at the head of the little B. Fa Xiao B, with tears in his eyes and trembling all over his body, said affectionately that you should shoot, if I am your best buddy, shoot it.
Later, the two of them smiled and lost their grievances, and left with A's baby to go to work outside sadly.
I'm done with the story, and if you think this review "has a key plot reveal," you're making a big mistake of idealism. Although I told you the story of common people A and B, which is indeed the main line of the film, the relevant plot is less than one-tenth of the entire film. I can't tell what story is being played out in the nine-tenths of the other shots that are shaking violently. I just feel that this film is really far from being a sequel to "City of God".
I wondered, did such a talented Brazilian director film such a thing with a book written by a Hong Kong screenwriter?
If so, director, you have worked really hard.
