a perfect equilibrium..

Rating: 8/10 (4 September 2006)

As I was told by some friends before watching it, "city of god" is indeed a masterpiece. One might say it's an easy comment : "great", "cool", "very good". So what makes it different form the other movies of this kind?
Well, it's just realistic,..a bit romanced (just enough for us watchers to stay keened). For sure it's a big production quality-wise (so money-wise) and thanks for that.
No big main "hero" character, no morality, no useless violent (or sex) scenes (a lack of that? :) ..that's what it make of the "city of god" such a different movie. Cruel world described,..and well shown, although I don't think shooting remakes of the same kind is a good idea, this one is perfect, let's not make it commercial.
On the very same level and topic, watch "la haine" , french movie. B well. Bye.
