Drugs murder and love

Rating: 10/10 (26 October 2003)

City of God take us into the 60-70´s Ghettos of "Rio de Janiero". A place where young gangsters are gods. Its a true story about a boy called "Rocket", and he decide to not partipate in anything that has to do with crime. This after his big brother who also was a gangster got killed by a little kid. This little kid grow up to be the bíggest ganster in the "City of God". And no matter how much "Rocket" try to stand outside he always run into these gangsters. The only way out of this is the camera. But its also a love story about a young man "Rocket" who sees how all the other guys loose their virginity except him. And how looses his girlfriend to his best friend. The movie i think gives a realistic view how it is to grow up in the ghettos where the fastest way to respect is money. And fastest way to get money is drugs and crime. If you havent seen the movie, i promise you get yourself something to think about afterwards.
