The city of God has been forgotten by God, the heart of the devil is the light that shines ahead

The City of God is a place where everyone has the opportunity to be a god. Evil drives out good, and love and dreams are taboos. Live in fear, die in hatred or ignorance. It doesn't make too much evaluation or even excavation, but sometimes the role of the film is to tell stories that no one wants to touch. Just like the kid who wants to be a reporter, he risked his life to record everything. The truth itself has its meaning.

[A+] Really awesome. The whole film is a modern history of Brazil, and it is also a complete history of violence. The last easter egg proves that the whole film is actually an adaptation of real events, which is really unexpected darkness. Very few movies have attracted me from the very first shot of the opening scene. Starting from the first lens, everything in the whole film is controlled perfectly, everything is just right, and the most commendable one has to mention the perfect lens and editing: a large number of elevation lenses produce a sense of pressure, and the handheld lens drives a strong sense of movement. Sharp editing and fast editing create a stronger sense of oppression. The soundtrack is not much but perfect. The whole film is full of violence but not exaggerated but just right. A few sex scenes are completely necessary without too much redundancy. It is simply too rare in the same type of film. The narrative is divided into sections, using voice-overs and a clue character to witness the development of the whole film from an objective perspective, so that the whole film has a large span but is not messy. The script is solid, there are some small reversals and the foreshadowing of thousands of miles, a circular narrative, a story with no ending, violence breeds in such a society, and will be passed on forever. A city of God abandoned by God.
