true power

Like City of God, Brazilian films never disappoint. An entire film describes Rio de Janeiro as chaotic, corrupt, violent, and bloody. That's the movie, that's the power of the real movie.
In the whole film, there is no so-called justice party, or the force of justice, or the appearance of superman, which is common in Hollywood. What I saw was as real as Shura Purgatory. Several scenes in the film are unforgettable for a long time.
In the first scene, the trainee policeman Monroe went out to extort money in order to get the parts needed for the police car in time, and the corruption of the ordinary police in Rio de Janeiro was strung along the way. Let the people who are in the country with the same serious corruption smile and feel familiar and real.
Scenario 2, the drug dealer was afraid of the elite army's retaliation because he accidentally killed a member of the elite army. Instead, he took anger at the college students who came to "volunteer service" and brutally killed two innocent people. This depicts that there is no such thing as "the thief also has the Tao". Compared with the previous college students' mockery of the so-called "rudeness" and "barbarism" of the police, it is so strong.
In the third scene, the black police officer pulled out a whistleblower in the team of college students to mourn their colleagues who were shot and killed by drug dealers, and loudly rebuked the students for their hypocrisy.
Scene 4: After the drug dealer is captured, he begs loudly not to slap his face, while the captain of the elite unit asks to "bring a shotgun".
After watching the whole film, you can accuse the arrogance of drug dealers, the corruption of the police, the hypocrisy of college students, the brutality of the elite army, and the numbness of the poor residents at the bottom. However, who can really stand on the moral high ground to accuse all this?
Tribute to this film. This is the real movie.
