      third eye and first eye

      "City of God", chooses to use the third eye to stare at all beings-----God stands on the top of the mountain in Rio, looking at his people, and at the same time possessing the camera lens of the hero photojournalist, with a kind of chaos , complex, high-speed samba-style rhythm, to describe the face of violence in an era, and its source. The documentary and mv style that the director deliberately pursues is cruel, real and hearty, and it cleverly brings us all into the attitude of a bystander....

      People are sinking in silence

      Watching the city of human beings is spent in a period of boredom and patience, because of the grudges and grievances against these black people, fighting and killing is not interesting at all. Various themes: survival, killing, family, friendship, marriage, sex, love, betrayal... Everything happened "quietly" in this slum gathering area. Without any stimulation and impulse, it is difficult for people who are used to watching various films to be moved...

      Tribute and Reflection on "City of God"

      Just like "City of God": bright and swaying shots, strong contrasting tones, rich exotic flavors, vivid dialogues, chaotic characters, and natural performances. These elements have been well inherited and are the director's tribute to the classic predecessor "City of God".

      Maybe it's because I'm familiar with and love this style. After watching the one-and-a-half hour film, I felt hearty.

      Compared with the previous work, the background of the story is more modern, and the...

      Personal opinion on ghetto, family, friendship

      This movie is enjoyed after watching "City of God". Some people say that this movie is not as good as "City of God", but I think differently, they each have a different focus. The first one can be said to be a novel, too far away from us. But the second part really brought us in. The family, friendship, and responsibility here gave us different ideas. Both protagonists grew up without a father, so they longed for a father from a young age to teach them how to be human. Rajang Sinha searched for...

      Drop your weapons, get your life back

      I watched the version with English subtitles, and I generally understood it.

      This "City of Man" is said to be a sequel to "City of God". It should be said that the style is relatively consistent, but the story is simpler and more warm than the previous one.

      In "City of God", the teenager picked up the gun, and in "City of Man", the teenager put down the gun.

      The feature of the previous film is unpredictability. The deepest impression is that of guns and teenagers....

    Movie plot

    The two protagonists, Acerola and Rajang Sinha , were orphans who grew up in the slums of Rio de Janeiro . Because they were both orphans, they sympathized with each other and became friends. By the time of their 18th birthday, Acerola was already a teenage dad, scrambling around learning to look after his little baby son - because his nanny wife moved to Sao Paulo; Portuguese . And his friend Rajang Sinha is going to find the...

    Background creation

    Another masterpiece after Fernando Riers' Oscar-nominated "City of God" (also known as "City without a Master"). This time, not as a director, but as a producer, his name and "City of God" still accompany the film's various publicity introductions like shadows. Indeed, the film is like the title City of Men"City of Men" said that, like "City of God", it uses the story of the protagonist to show people the backward slum life of Rio de...
