City Of God is a movie about Two boys growing up in a violent neighborhood of Rio de Janeiro take different paths: one becomes a photographer, the other a drug dealer. This movie has been hyped up and i had to see it and to finally to see you have to see this movie for the story and how its told. This movie is not a happy tale and how these people live is bad. 
 
The Good
  • The Story - It is amazing, just how its told how it goes back to these childhood and how they grow up and what they become, one tries to come something good the other wants to own the city.
  • Psycho Little Kid - the kid just kills people and laugh he is awesome and you belive he will kill them as well.
  • How The Story is told - It is told so great, it tells a different characters story and how living in the city of god really changes them.
  • The Characters - I think this movie has some of the best characters and characters you will like even if there bad, it helps there based on real people.
  • How It Looks - This movie really feels they live in this slum that the police dont care people die and there is this war going on.
The Bad 
  • To Long - I think the movie is a little to long could have been cut but saying that i dont mind it.
 
Overall this movie is amazing and should be watched and for the director first time it is amazing but the story really sells you or me is something just to watch this movie for. just make sure you have the time some interesting things happen in this movie and tell me you don't like benny and hearing the guy loose his vingity is a great moment or take the photo;s of this dead guy, just an amazing movie.
