Synopsis: City of God (2003)

Set on the mean streets of a Rio de Janeiro slum (in the "Cidade de Deus" housing project), this film follows two boys who grow up down differing paths (stretched across over 15 years, from the late 1960s to the early 1980s).

Set on the mean streets of a Rio de Janeiro slum (in the "Cidade de Deus" housing project), this film follows two boys who grow up down differing paths (stretched across over 15 years, from the late 1960s to the early 1980s). One, Buscape (Rodrigues), becomes a photographer, the other becomes a drug dealer. The film follows their paths through a series of short stories, as we learn about the violent, often short lives of those wrapped up in the dangerous world of drugs and crime on Brazil's cruelest area.

    "City of God" a must see!!!

    By jayman  Jul 11, 2004 | 22 out of 34 found this City of God (2003) review helpful

    Pros: an intense view of life in a third world environment

    Cons: spoken in a foreign language and need to watch it with english subtitles

    "City of God" in my mind is a must me, must have movie. It depicts the life of a male named Rocket, who lives in a third world environment. He is exposed to violence and substance abuse early on in life as this movie follows his first 16 yr...s of his life. You meet interesting characters such as Benny(the playboy), Li'l Ze(drug-dealer), Carrot(drug-dealer), and many more. Granted there are a few graphic fighting scenes, but the more realistic the movie is the better in my mind it is. After watching this film i feel even more inspired to become a film director, and hope to oneday make a major motion picture like this one. Thank you for reading this. Read more Less

    far the best brazilian movie ever made

    By parker  Feb 22, 2004 | 10 out of 20 found this City of God (2003) review helpful

    Pros: Perfectly directed and produced

    Cons: are you kidding?

    It is a great movie all the way. It is pretty violent but so is life in Rio. In other words, if you don't want to see brutality on its best, go watch Shrek.The first sequence - the introduction to the story- is fabulous.The movie deserves the 4 O...scar nominations it got this year. The brazilian DVD is already available in Region 4 for those of you who can get passed those codes, or for those of you who have Region 4 DVD players... The title in portuguese is Cidade de Deus, and it has subtitles for English and French (maybe something else). For Portuguese speakers, the brazilian DVD is a better deal because it has many extras!
