1. Stealing money from black people and thieves is not a crime in places like the slums.
2. One detail: All police officers are white.
3. The police arbitrarily enforce the law, regard life as a mustard, and indiscriminately kill passers-by. Because in the slums, human life is worthless!
4. At the end of the film, it is pointed out that the police are the decisive force to maintain the balance of evil in the city of god, and they are often the real black hands who participate and profit from it. From the beginning, this relationship was a bit out of the question, that is, after the police received the money, they would not bother the little bully again.
5. Let us explore this evil balance based on the fact that there are only two forces in the city of god, and they maintain a limited degree of restraint within their respective spheres of influence. So this delicate and fragile relationship simply cannot withstand a little challenge. Coupled with the strong power fish of this gang of wicked people, the final battle was nothing but expected.
6. The only thing in the film that brings me a little bit of beauty is the beach. The setting sun reflects the charming Brazilian beaches, but this is just a touch of the black tone of the whole film, giving people a fleeting reverie.
7. The source of evil in the city of god is nothing but a kind of helplessness in reality. It is worth thinking about whether it is cruel reality that forces generations of people to “go forward” and devote themselves to beating, smashing, looting and burning.
8. On the night when bene was killed, the colorful lights and shadows and the brutal shooting scenes reflected the distortion of reality under the carnival.
9. Rogues have guns, but they can't use them.
10. The marksman killed the child's father, and the child decided to take revenge. Even if it was an unintentional mistake at the time, the butterfly effect was irreversible. The end of such a revenge-cycle model is only the death of both parties.
11. In the end, the narrator did not announce the participation of the police, perhaps to convey such a message to people: we are powerless to fight against the state apparatus, but we also have a good desire for the true god-love and peace and a vision for the pursuit of personal happiness. Appropriate compromise is to complete a gorgeous turn for the future.
