A masterpiece

Rating: 10/10 (6 January 2003)

This movie means to much to the brazilians. It opened our eyes to the problem of traffic and violence in the slums in a way never seemed before and opened the brazilian market to brazilian movies. The middle class in Brazil has a strong prejudice against people form slums and against the brazilian movies (they used to watch any hollywood comercial movies). More than 3 million people went to see this movie here and the press wrote many articles about it. I love cinema and I go to cinemas every week and I can say that "City of God" is the best movie of the year. Everybody should see it.
