wow, this movie is presented very real and done with style. The gritty reality of city of god can be summed up with the shooting of the young child in the foot. with that it becomes very clear that this war extended to everyone, and that moment captivated the crowd into this reality. Then you have the constant hits to the style of the time within the seventies. where it was a time to be "groovy", and that is portrayed within Benny, as it gets you captivated into this culture. And yet the conflict with Benny and Lil ze is not mainly what resulted into his death. That feel of the seventies IMO is greatly portrayed within the movie, and sets up a great vibe.A great movie all in all, me being only 15 this is a great movie to see and be able to analyze
