City of God (2003)
Brazilian film, City of God, 2003
I think that this is THE best foreighn language film eer, and one of the best films ever. I bought the DVD 3 days ago and have watched it 67 times since, and seen something new ever time. All the characters are believable, and it makes you almost feel that your in a Brazilian Favela.
Any thoughts?

Re: Brazilian film called City of God
this movie was true grit, i need to get this DVD for my collection. This film has award potential if it ever gets recognized. I bet it will get nominated for an Oscar for best foreign film.

Re: Brazilian film called City of God
I want to the cinema to watch something, on a lazy sunday, picked "City of God" and sat down (on my own) to watch it.
Wow, I got blown away by that film. After 2 minutes, even the subtitles didnt bother me (in Spanish), true story too. Bloody tragic mind,
makes you think of Rio in a different light. Its not all carnival and hats with fruit on. Poverty is everywhere.
Definitely worth 2 hours if you haven't seen it.

The City of God is a brazilian film (english subtitles), about street gang life
in the inner city. The film explores drugs, recruitment, police correption, and the (false) glamour side of gang life. A must see.
Tell me what you think about this film.

Re: Brazilian film, City of God, 2003
I just ordered this. Wasn't easy to find at first. Finally got it on ebay. Hey if you buy this make sure you get Region 1 NTSC so it will work in your unit if you live here in SoCal or thereabouts. Peace.

Don't forget to check out the Special Features from the main menu as they have a two hour documentary where they follow and interview the gangmembers, police, and residents of the slums.

Re: Brazilian film, City of God, 2003
maybe it's because everyone hyped the movie so much but I was somewhat disappointed by it. But the documentary that was in the DVD was crazy. Seeing those favelas built on a steep ass mountain with alleys just wide enough for one person to walk through. And right next to them was that famous statue of Jesus.
Re: Brazilian film, City of God, 2003
Its one of the best films I have ever seen. A must see for everybody in the forum
