A city favored and abandoned by God

Recently, the Rio Olympic Games in Brazil, before the Olympic Games opened, all kinds of moths in Rio have been exposed, most of which are robbery, pollution, various venues and facilities have not been completed and other news. As the Olympics kick off, the voices of the worst Olympics in history are endless. Indeed, compared with the Olympic Games held by Beijing in 2008 with the strength of the whole country, Rio is indeed much inferior in material, so I won't go into details.

It was also a coincidence that I watched the film "City of God" in this gap. I went back to the film itself and told the sad things about guns and cameras that happened in the slums of Rio de Janeiro. The place blessed by God is also the place where the devil is easy to stay. Gunfights, crime, drugs, murder, rape, smuggling, and corruption permeate the entire film, along with ideals—photographers, lifeguards. The whole film, I watched it, was depressing and refreshing, the suppression of backwardness, violence, and the impulse of primitive human beings. The editing of the whole film is superb and level, the plot is ups and downs and rich, and the soundtrack is quite good. In addition, it is understood that the most shocking is that the film is based on a true story, which is very worth watching.
