One of the Saddest Movies you will ever see

Rating: 10/10 (14 June 2004)

City of God about life in the slums of Rio De Janiero may be one of the saddest movies I have ever seen. The movie shows an endless cycle of kids becoming criminals before they are even 12 years old. It seems that when these children are 18 years old, they will either be dead or in prison. This movie tells the story of one of the few who managed to get out of the slums alive. It is heartbreaking to watch children who are 8, 9, or 10 years old becoming criminals because it is the only way they can money for food. When they get older, they eventually start helping out with the drug dealers. The police only show up every once in a while and don't do much. The drug dealers pays the cops to look the other way. So long as no rich people get killed, nobody cares. This is simply one of the most poignant films I have ever seen. 10/10
