City Of God.... is the real deal!!!

Rating: 10/10 (16 May 2006)

It is not a habit of mine to give movies a perfect score... but this one is just what movie magic is all about. Everything about this movie is perfect.... it just genius... The movie tells the story of a boy living in the slums of Rio DE Janeiro, Brazil AKA CIty Of God..... there life is tough and violent... even more for good people like the boy in this story... the only thing he longs for is to be a photographer and get out of the bloody neighborhood he is in where gunshots and violence are a daily happening. When two rival gangs start a full out war.. the boy decides to leave but it just might be too late for him........ This movie is a must see for any movie buff, although be aware it contains very violent scenes thus it is not for all kinds of people that said.. it is a great movie..... what adds to it is the fact that it is supposedly based in real events.... I do not doubt it as I have heard about the violence over there in South America is out of hand...... the DVD contains a documentary about Rio De Janeiro's gangs which will give you an insight into the sad reality they are living under over there. I give City Of God 10 out of 10
