Cidade de Deus(City of God)


It's been a few months seen I saw the film, but I can't believe I haven't blog it yet. It is by far one of best films ever made and a film which many people don't seem to know about, at least in my neck of the woods. The story is set in Brazil, the slums. It shows a little bit of the history behind them. We follow a boy name Rocket, who is a teenager who is taking an interest in journalism/photography. Around him chaos thrives and many of his close personal friends are in gangs and at war. His own brother is killed by people whom he associates with. He however is trying to focus his energy in other venues, but the forces around him are trying to suck him in. Simply a marvelous movie, from beginning to end you are drawn to it! It would take a hurricane or some sort of natural disaster to lose focus while watching this film. By far one of my favorite movies! 10/10
