One of the best movies ever made

Rating: 10/10 (9 April 2004)

This is without a doubt one of the most brilliant films ever made. It tells the story of a few boys that grow up in the "city of god", an outskirt of Rio De Janeiro where the poor live. A city where children carry guns and need to steal to have enough food to stay alive. The boys go in different directions as they grow up, one becomes a photographer while another becomes the most powerful criminal in town. Over 100 people are killed in this movie and many of them are kids so it might not be for everyone.
This story is so brilliantly told that I was breathless the whole 130 minutes of it. It´s one of those movies that will leave you thinking about it a long time afterwards. Powerful stuff.
