Rating: 8/10 (22 September 2016)

This film was very intriguing to watch, and got me thinking of why certain scenes and parts of the movie were shown in a specific way. In the beginning of the film I was confused, because it showed the ending part of the scene, and then went back to the beginning, and told the story. The way that it changed from ending to beginning, and then replayed that scene at the end made this film very unique, and some American films are similar, but what makes this different than most American films is the language, and shows life in a different country during the 60's and 70's , and how the people there were living like, so I got to see a different perspective. Throughout this film, it talked about each character describing them, and went back and forth, which I thought was very distinctive. My favorite character in this film would be Rocket, because he did not agree with his friends and "acquaintances" in that they were involved in a gang and committing lots of crimes, and were doing drugs. Rocket found something that he was very passionate of, and that was photography. He used that in a way to escape the gang life, and separated himself of those bad "acquaintances". Even though he was there at the time of when shootings were going on, he tried to stay away from violence, by not actually killing anyone, and this showed who he was as a person. I would recommend watching this film if you like inspiring stories, or want to see an international film that will teach and narrate a unique story from a different perspective.
