That's awesome. If The Godfather is an Italian mafia epic, this is a Rio ghetto gangster epic.
The content of the whole film is very rich. The main line is cleverly used from the perspective of the male protagonist, from the old generation of the three young masters at the beginning of the film to the little bully who swallowed up the entire site overnight, and then Ned and the little bully fighting each other to the last new generation of children shooting and killing the little bully. end
The three generations of the aged, middle-aged, and young told us that in the City of God, this cycle has always existed and will continue to exist. This is due to human nature. People are reluctant to go to fish supermarkets, cashiers, drug dealers, robbery, and the fastest money. The eldest boss takes over the role of Xiao Bawang, and he is also an example to other young people. Xiao Bawang is just over 18. There are not many children of the old generation and the new generation. It seems that they are only in their teens, which is really embarrassing.
The title of the film is The City of God. Everyone prays to God before committing a crime, but everyone is doing the most sinful things, and they can't end well. The final result of everyone can be found in the film. When I was a child, I only robbed but didn’t kill; but I offended the dwarf. They all died tragically. One was because I offended the little bully and was killed. In times of chaos, kill
Among them, the coolest brother, Danny, was accidentally killed on the farewell ladder. When you are lying in muddy water, there are always people trying to drag you into the water. In fact, Danny, if it weren't for the fact that he knew Bully since he was a child, might have been a very soulful hippie. From buying clothes for white youths to dating a girl, to protecting Hongmao and taking care of everyone. In the end, when he decides to retire, it can be seen that he has his own spiritual pursuits and principles, just like most criminals start by meeting a few bad friends.
Of course, Xiaobawang must know this sentence too well, so he is also the one who everyone must think will be a tragedy. Like Lu Bu, who was brave in a turbulent world without a strategy, made enemies everywhere, and even killed his elders and robbed other people's wives.
The details of the whole film are also very rich, and each is thought-provoking.
The gun dealer made a fortune in silence. He knew it was dangerous to sell arms on both sides, but he took the risk for huge profits and was eventually eaten by an unreasonable bully. Then he went to the police to deal with it, but he didn't know that the police had been bought. There are arms dealers backstage who say killing is killing. It can be seen that the most important thing in the underworld is the newcomer.
The whole film of the police expressly implies that they accept bribes. Finally, the photo of Xiaobawang's death is in the newspaper. The police accepting bribes without mentioning a word shows that society has been corrupted from the roots.
In fact, there are many small details. For example, the supermarket owner fired the male protagonist and said that he and the gangsters did not give him compensation, or that the bully shot the customer at the motel and wanted to blame the three young masters. In fact, it means that everyone has their own evil.
There is no God in the city of God because everyone is doing evil. It seems that there is no human nature in the city. But in the city of God, everyone is suffering from the consequences. Is there a god who is punishing them? Maybe only by destroying the city of God. People are good. Only when the environment is positively educated can it fundamentally change, and finally hope that these people can be saved and their souls can be placed somewhere.
