My Favorite Movie

Rating: 10/10 (2 January 2005)

A story like this cannot be written. Only true circumstances in life can generate a tale as the one depicted in City Of God. The simple fact that this was a true story makes this movie even more dumbfounding and astonishing at the same time. This movie is a visual masterpiece in it's crispness and story telling. The format in which the story is told is unique through the eyes of Rocket. The actors pull you into a world that most don't know exist and even through their vile nature and ways of thinking, there is something to love about everyone involved. Watch as Bene becomes a playboy, as Knock-Out Ned becomes a legend and Rocket becomes a man. I have watched this movie numerous times and find myself watching scenes over and over again. Few movies compel one to do so. Sit back and enjoy it.
