FAVOURITE BRAZILIAN MOVIE: "Cidade de Deus"- Great movie!
What is the movie about? Well, it is basically about the Brazilian "favelas".
But the movie is just so real, so impressive...The story is so dynamic, it tosses you up and down, swirls you to the left and right...And at the same time you never, not for a moment, loose the thread of the story...
And the beginning is so ingenious! The inventive genius of the creator uses the most powerful way to vacuum-suck you into your own curiousity...
The film is quite shocking and violent, though...However, the director has found a way to warn the viewer of the upcoming evalanche of violence and blood...Remember the approach Quentin Tarantino uses in Kill Bill to mitigate the bloodiness of the movie? Well, this is better - as timing and as an idea...
I was quite shocked by one particular idea of the movie...The shocking part of it is that it is a real-life phenomenon not just an art ide of the book writer or director...But I won´t tell. It is part of the movie power...
