The Incredible World and Story of City of God

Rating: 9/10 (12 March 2016)

City of God is a story of a young man seeking refuge in a world that is full of violence and hatred through the lens of a camera. And I say "world" and not city because when you are watching this movie, it doesn't even seem like a real place in our world. It seems like a made up land that is full of unbelievable stories. But it is all based on a true story, which totally amazed me when i found it out at the end of the movie. The only down side was that the plot caught a hold of me and kept me hooked, reeling me in for a great climactic ending. But when i got to the ending, I was sort of let down because it didn't seem satisfying or to be what I had hoped and expected for. But that was before I realized it was all based on true accounts, and that was when i was completely shocked. All in all, the movie is great and is a fantastic way to expand your world, showing you a place that you thought couldn't possibly exist.
