Fully touching, and completely gripping

Rating: 10/10 (22 December 2009)

Every scene, character, and word in this film is near-perfect. the plot line presents something very rare in common cinema; something we have lost with everyday rom-coms and ugly punchlines.
With all the drugs and weapons that are so readily available to everybody in this film, including children, it is hard not to feel for the constant aroma of careless killing and accidental suicide. and this feeling is what brings us to the depth of a most compelling idea that, though we catch glimpses of it every day, we are from the pressurizing people that have grown up killing and dealing drugs.
Only movies such as Kids and City of God are able to explain through graphic images and intriguing characters that people need help. the end of City of God is a rarity that presents hope, and gifts your heart with the feeling that causes you to exert a breath of joy and general wonder.
To anybody that may be doubting the idea of a life worth living, see this film, and see it again. it is more than my wish that people will more often recognize the brilliance of cinema, and the seldom seen masterpieces such as City of God.
