The City of God Between Mountains and Seas

Last day of 2020,

Gossiping with friends sparked the urge to re-broadcast this most brutal crime film,

I really didn't understand it when I was in high school!

Hand-held photography is immersive,

The editing and soundtrack are hearty.

The whole process is rough and high-energy,

A great movie with full of emotional flow and impact.

The icon of Jesus looks down on the slum where evil is spreading,

Weak, ravaged by tyranny,

Poverty is brutally slaughtered,

At last your blood penetrated and nourished this fertile land of evil flowers,

No one can be alone.

The scariest thing is that this is an adaptation of a true story!

The blood-stained city of God,

Have you been forsaken by God?

Violence and evil cycle from generation to generation!!

Because of this film, I yearned for Rio de Janeiro.
