Li'l Dice has dreamed of being the owner of the City of God since he was a child.
From the first shot of a motel robbery, he finally enjoyed the thrill and satisfaction of shooting and killing people, one shot after another.
By the time he turned 18, he was already The most famous bandit in the City of God







But the poor and sour he is still just a bandit, all the gold and silver all over the city are the
most profitable drug dealers in the city, but it takes a lot of money to do the drug business
. We will kill all these guys and take over the business
. Forgotten by God, the devil's heart is the light that shines ahead
He is no longer Li'l Dice, he is Li'l Z'


In the end, the king of the city of God, Li'l Z' was killed
by the guns of the young children. The crude guns are like a toy in the hands of the children, and they play the dangerous game of robbery and murder with this toy
like when they were children. Like Li'l Z'


At the end of the film, the children with guns in their hands negotiate to kill all the enemies they
see



Bandits have no love, only desire
Bandits have no truth, only glib
bandits do not stop, only rest

    [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.

    Segmented narrative / high-speed editing to create a sense of speed / bipolar lens / hand-held shaking mirror / vertical and horizontal movement to strengthen the atmosphere of urgency; the unesthetically violence of the slums can be seen in this film, guns and drugs are the best synonym for chaos and disorder; this is death The city is also a purgatory on earth; the reincarnation of all things is a story with no ending, and it is a place where people in another world fight for it. It is not numb, but the rules and boundaries are different.
