Brazilian cinema has power

In addition to "Elite Force", I have watched two Brazilian films in total. The last one was "City of God". I think I am lucky. The two Brazilian films I have watched are excellent. These two films are both films that reflect the social situation in Brazil. After watching it, I dare not go to Brazil. I always feel that I will be shot by stray bullets when I walk on the streets of Rio de Janeiro, and I recall watching "Rage to the Rescue" before. When I mentioned that kidnapping incidents in Brazil also happened from time to time, I sighed for a while: Damn, is this the prototype of GTA?
"City of God" and "Elite Force" are serious literary and art films, both of which have won awards at the international A-level, but there are so many scenes of gun battles in these two films that most robber films are It's out of reach.
Imagine that a city is clearly differentiated into urban areas and slums. One second it was a prosperous city, and the next second it entered a world of drugs and 7.5mm bullets... I think it's very exciting... But it's just I hope it's just a look, it won't be exciting to be hit.
The young literary and artistic young man who loves photography in "City of God" and the reserve police who are familiar with the masterpiece in "Elite Force" have all become qualified residents in the chaos of Rio de Janeiro. They have all learned the means of survival. Killing City, the name should still be very suitable for this kind of city. I remember that at the end of "Elite Force", the protagonist broke the head of the drug dealer with a blessing, and a new BOPE (special law enforcement force) leader was born. In the future he will use killing to keep the peace.
Why did Brazil become such a place? I have no idea.
Actually I'm thinking about a question now, if I go to Brazil and buy a rifle (easy...) and then I divide it into many, many parts. Then send these parts back to China in batches and assemble them. I don't know if they can or not? Are there any experts who can give pointers? Thank you.

    Hand-held lens, high-sharpness picture, overexposure and underexposure, close-up close-up, in fact, it is only the standard equipment of documentary style, it can be matched with a lot of inner monologues to produce a different effect; and this is unreasonable and brutal The violence also ridiculed the stupid middle-class behavior is even more murder, the slum situation is actually just a cover, Matthias's personal transformation is the core, and the shot in the face of Bayano is the proof.

Elite Squad quotes

  • Capitão Nascimento: Mr. 02, you'll never make it through this course, you know why? It's not because you are fucking weak and have no fiber. It's because you're a crooked cop, Mr. 02, and to wear this badge

    [taps the skull badge]

    Capitão Nascimento: you gotta have character. You don't belong here, Mr. 02, you belong with the hookers and the pimps, Mr. 02. You belong with the abortion clinics. Crooked cops don't join BOPE, Mr. 02.

  • Baiano: [Baiano is surrounded by the BOPE soldiers, having a handgun pointed to his face] ... N-not in the face, boss.

    Capitão Nascimento: Say what?

    Baiano: Don't shoot my f-face, you'll ruin my funeral...

    Capitão Nascimento: [Capitão Nascimento puts the handgun away] Soldier 07, hand me the 12-gauge.

    Baiano: Please no, boss...

    Capitão Nascimento: [Handing the 12-gauge shotgun to soldier Mathias] Do him, he's yours.
