Simple and direct, violent and cold-blooded

I have seen three Brazilian movies, all of them are about the rampant crime and chaos in Brazil. The way of telling the story of the movie is simple and direct, and the shooting method is very realistic, whether it is the change of the near and far lens or the following shaking.
After watching this film, the immediate feeling is "noisy". The whole film is full of gunshots, beatings, and shouts that are going to break the eardrums from beginning to end. The way of telling the plot is very direct, showing the violent and cold-blooded criminals and the police's behavior of "violating violence", revealing many social problems in Brazil, and at the same time, it also gives people a hint of despair. In this society, how should justice and integrity exist, and how should the phenomenon of rampant crime at a younger age be stopped?
Brazil's film about its own social problems is worthy of praise.

    Hand-held lens, high-sharpness picture, overexposure and underexposure, close-up close-up, in fact, it is only the standard equipment of documentary style, it can be matched with a lot of inner monologues to produce a different effect; and this is unreasonable and brutal The violence also ridiculed the stupid middle-class behavior is even more murder, the slum situation is actually just a cover, Matthias's personal transformation is the core, and the shot in the face of Bayano is the proof.
