this is my review for school.
I chose this film because we had to write a review on a film (and a book) with social issues and City of God is a very detailed film. I also edited this a bit.
City of God is a Brazilian film directed by Fernando Meirelles that’s loosely based on the life of Paulo Lins. It is a brutal exploration of gang violence in the slums of Rio.

CHAPTER 1
the first shot is 8 minutes of a bunch of cows walking through this small, depressing village. It's an interesting beginning that sets up the rest of the films atmosphere.
CHAPTER 2

CHAPTER 3
I really like this chapter. It follows a character spying on the characters from the…
"You - my shepherd. You make me lie down in green pastures, by the river of life. You - my strength. You show me the path."
My new favorite film.
It makes me wanna go outside and become a farmer who has a relationship with God.
Edit:
It's been like 2 weeks since I saw this (I'm not sure and I'm not gonna bother doing the math) and I wanted to talk about it a bit more.

THE WORST MOVIE EVER MADE!!!
We live in a world of great masterpieces like the marvel movies and stuff. Movies with cool realistic graphics and epic music. Cinema was never good until spider man 3.
This movie is boring. Too many talking and sad characters and not enough punching bad guys. Old movie sucks.
Bad movie. Harakiri is better and that movie was old and boring.
