City of God movie review

The beginning of the film is simple and simple. A group of criminal teenagers from the slums go out to catch a chicken. They meet the protagonist at the corner of the street, and government troops come opposite. The protagonist is caught in the middle and the story unfolds from there.

The introduction of each character and the occurrence of each incident are all telling the story of this "City of God" - a slum where no one wants to live and can only wait for God's salvation. The kids here start gang life very early, and it's a terrible situation to have no peers. All unstable and disharmonious things are happening, every day!

No one is innocent in the City of God. This is the resentment of the bandit leader and a true portrayal. Yes, it’s hard to live here. With the dangers of drugs, robbery, and the constant threat of death, you must always be vigilant. The best way to protect yourself and your family is to be alone and cruel.

A veteran became enemies with a drug trafficking leader and was forced to follow another group of gangsters. When they went to rob for the first time, the soldiers told the bandits not to hurt anyone. This was the rule. The second time, the bandit hurt someone and explained to him that it was an accident.

The third time, accidents become the rule! There was a sneer on the soldier's lips, and he agreed with the bandit leader's words. None of us want to be kidnapped by life, but we are all willing to be its captives. There is no such thing as right or wrong, this is life, just life.

As a witness and narrator of the story, he deeply understands how much courage it takes to survive in the cracks. After trying again and again, he took a camera to take some pictures, witnessed the last war in person, recorded the misery of the bandit leader, and finally became a photographer.

No matter what, there will still be people who are trying to live in a place "abandoned" by God. There, living is not for the country or others. It is just living. It is a person's instinct, the desire for life, and a gift from nature. Just like that chicken.

The chicken is running and jumping into your sight. Work hard to break free from the shackles of life, gain the freedom of life, and resist this fate. No one's life starts with failure. Just because you come into this world means you are worthy. Where there is no God, only you can save yourself.
