how i feel about C of G

Rating: 10/10 (25 October 2007)

i remember a boy, chasing another boy through a filthy slum, the cops after a kid, people confused, hope flickering then falling, being blotted out by the anger and apathy and despondency that comes with poverty of the body and spirit.
this is one of my favorite films. i feel a little guilty commenting on it, me sitting here in my nice American classroom knowing that conditions like that exist, and all i care to do is comment on an artistic depiction of it. see the film. let it soak in. i pray it helps motivate you to change your world for the better. the cinematography is great, the realness of the film; moving. the themes are monumentous and fecund- cruelty, assimilation to environment, love, lust, power, fame, meaning, beauty, horror, pain. all mixed up and served in a visually gripping vehicle. great stuff.
