What an incredibly violent film, lol.....but still a great movie. I always liked Brazil and wanted to go there  but after watching this, I don't know man, lol.

I liked how the movie was done, Rocket being the main character and telling the stories of all these people, that was nice. Oh and one of the most disturbing scenes ever had to be when they caught the 2 kids and put them in the corner and shot them in the foot and etc.. wow that was fucked. Li'l Zé was one fucked up guy.

"City of God's" final part, a gang war involving a character named Knockout Ned (Seu Jorge), is where the film gets to be wearing. Personality becomes unimportant, the violence level escalates to the point of exhaustion and the whole project suffers from, pardon the pun, overkill.

Exactly^^  but since this is based on a true story, I think the director is just trying to open up this whole world of poverty and violence to the rest of the world and let everyone know that this is something major. And at the end of it we really see that there won't be a complete end to it after Li'l Ze is dead and this is a continuing cycle which is really sad. Go rent it, buy it, whatever...me personally I own this on DVD.

white Boy:
amazing movie, one of my favs,... great directing, acting, etc.

boycriedwolf619:
yup

On The Edge of Insanity:
Its a extremely good film, I liked the way it was structured and it was also very well directed. The offshoot tv series "City of Men" is also worth picking it for anyone that enjoyed the film.

ShadyGuru:
Awesome flick, and it is based off a true story, right?
