City of God

Date undefined

It has a disturbing and thought-propvoking plot. It shows what life has in store for many kids in one of Rio de Janeiro's ghettos, City of God. They learn to kill, rob, and sell drugs to get rich. Most of them will end up being killed.

The acting look real. The surprising thing is most of them are non-professional actors.

The film is interesting from the beginning till the end. If you like movie dealing with social issues. This is definitely for you. It's the best movie from Brazil so far.

This film was absolutely amazing. Though parts of it were quite graphic and may not be appropriate for all viewers, the truth it held was incredible. It will really open yours eyes to what goes on this world and what some people might be driven to do to survive. It also shows that not all people who do bad things are really bad people.

I was required to view this for a college course in urban geography (in class) Not only did it truly hold the attention of the entire class of 40 exhausted evening class students, but we talked about it for weeks afterward. I am so glad our instructor opened our eyes to this film. It even prompted me to purchase the book (which is also excellent but much more graphic, even disturbing at times).

That said, however, if you are bothered by violence I do not recommend watching this movie.

I knew nothing of this film before I saw it by chance in a rare Pub open screening, but boy was I glad I got the chance to take a look. I was riveted all night - I completely ignored my friends! I thought it was an awesome re-enactment of a true story - powerful, moving, raw, real - and even funny in parts. I walked away afterwards, beaming. It's rare a great film like this is made, especially these days. I gave it five out of five. Please see it if you can.
