What a true story...

Rating: 9/10 (16 August 2013)

"City of God" it's a movie which has to do about two different children who take different paths, one becomes a photographer and the other one a drug dealer. It's based on the true story of the photographer (Buscapé - Rocket).
Alexandre Rodrigues as Buscapé - Rocket and Seu Jorge as Mané Galinha - Knockout Ned made a really good interpretations. It worth mentioning that "City of God" nominated for four Oscars (Best Cinematography, Best Director, Best Film Editing and Best Writing, Adapted Screenplay), in my opinion "City of God" has to win at least the Oscar for Best Cinematography, because I think that this movie show us a really good images throughout the length of the movie.
"City of God" is a movie that shows us how is the true and well hidden face of Rio de Janeiro. In this movie we can understand how the things work in these neighborhoods and how drugs are controlling all the system of the city. Drugs controls and manages the relationships between the people and makes them believe that if they have a lot of them they are kings. This happens until they found out that there are not alone and in the middle are another problems and interests.
I liked it very much because of the above reasons and it is really worth seeing it. If you have free time it really worth to spend it in this movie, you will be dumbfounded.
