Very accurate movie

Rating: Null/10 (22 September 2016)

For starters, I really liked a lot of things about this movie. One of my favorite things was how the movie was Rocket explaining everything. I liked how he narrated the movie as the movie showed what he was talking about. I also liked how each time it introduced a character, it amused and said their name while the camera was looking at them. I also liked how the movie was split into different "chapters" sort of. For example, the last one was called "The Beginning of the End." I thought Rocket's story was very inspiring. I like how he didn't join any of the gangs and still managed to be successful and land a job that's he was passionate about. I also really liked Benny. He was by far my favorite character. He gave off a really positive and friendly vibe. I strongly disliked Lil' Zé. One concept that I thought was very interesting was the fact that Benny and Lil' Zé coexisted. I thought it was good symbolism like the fight between good and evil. Benny was good, Lil' Zé was evil. Something that made me happy was the fact that a gang of toddlers killed Lil' Zé. I found it funny how such a powerful, intimidating, and influential character like Lil' Zé, got killed by toddlers. One thing I like about this movie was how in depth it portrayed the drug scene in Brazil. I also found it shocking how at the end, there was a band of kids just walking through the street with their guns out in the open and no one stopped them. I have a feeling that that group of people will become the next Lil' Zé gang.
