From irony to harmony, from dark nation-history to bright movie-history

Rating: 9/10 (12 October 2013)

City of God is ironically entertaining. Not only entertaining, I love the way the movie-crew make it so thrilling. I am just not boring at all when watch this movie. So good Brazilian movie. I think it is the best Brazilian movie I've ever watched, or ever made.
The very first thing I love is the action cinematography and the camera. They used "vibrant-recording" or maybe I should call it "pro-amateur- recording". I call it because almost all cameraman used to record with "vibrant-recording". It is not good for such a film like drama. But, what I watched was different. This vibrant makes another sense of film. A chaos but deep sense. It is how they try to make the movie problem become more problematic. A good and smart idea it was.
Another hand, I like the way they translate the social and dark nation- history to a movie masterpiece. Because, mainly developing countries need movie like it. Movie that criticize the government, the police department, and also a deep social problem in every side in the country.
It is critical and irony, but in the same time, it is fantastic, very dramatic.
