Something didn't tell

Rating: 10/10 (14 August 2005)

Dear brothers and sisters:
First: "City of God" isn't one "favela" - they are even worst. "Cidade de Deus", as a matter of fact, is homemade project built by Rio's State officer in the middle of 60's, for replaced people from "favelas". Second: This movie is very far from a gangster one. Is really based in a own experience contained from a book's writer. His idea was show what is a reality in a poverty place like that, so don't take as a gangster movie or some. I'd rather saw it as realistic third world vision of them ones. Third: translation to English or any other language don't catch it. Some gigs, idiomatic expression or passages are funny only in a Portuguese spoken in Brazil. I doubt about his force in Portugal...I don't think they can "really" able to understand it. We spoke very different Portuguese..just like English spoken in USA to UK, for example!!!!
Bye!
