So...
I went out last nite, with Yan.
and normally I don't post anything worthwhile here.
but today i'm going to.
If you do anything in the near future that has anything
to do with going to the movies, and you don't mind sub-titles.
GO SEE "CITY OF GOD" it is how movies should be.
Story telling at it's best, good use of multiple person angles
on one story, good use of camera work, good casting.
At no time was I bored, or felt that the movie wasn't doing it's
job portraying a real actual story.
below is a copy of a synopsis.
Art/Foreign, Crime/Gangster, Drama and Thriller
2 hrs. 13 min. 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.
