Brazil, Rio de Janeiro, the slum
has a pious name, "City of God"
, here is another world,
there is no good or bad,
only evil
and evil, and there are innocent
people with a desire to break through
. There are people who have a crush on a camera, a
new generation of black bosses who kill countless people, and annoyed gunshots who don’t know how to pick up girls.
The humiliation
that may be just a disagreement may be the hatred of killing the father,
or it may be just for the sake of being with you . Others say, "I have killed, robbed, drank, smoked, and I am a man"
Even if the person who speaks is only a child under ten years old, the
innocence is hidden in the most fundamental
and we are still the same. The essence of
love, yearning, or longing
is twisted into different rules by time and space , and
the expression of unity is deduced by killing.
Running
is the living state of all the inhabitants of the city of God.
It is also the rhythm of the film
because it is too fast, and it is too late to mourn
because it is fast. It's too late to think
because the soul can't keep up with the pace, the city of God is a huge irony at all.
I think of the Qingkong Glico of "Swallowtail Butterfly"
singing the smiling face of the girl in the South China Sea. I
think of "Thirteenth Block" and the violent aesthetics
of "Ninth District".
After all, it is a literary and artistic term.
It can't hide the dark side of this world. The
pale and powerless are all our embarrassment.
