City of God DVD

 

Yes, I understand there have been more than several threads on this movie. I probably posted in the original one, seeing as I saw this movie for the first time a year and a half ago.

 

What’s different about this thread is that it’s on the DVD. What’s different about the DVD is that it comes with a special feature documentary called News From A Personal War.

 

News From A Personal War was really quite good. It interviews policemen, ghetto kids from the favela, older gangsters, and kids in prison who have revolution on their mind.

 

Definitely worth checking out. If anyone has watched the DVD, please post up what you thought about the movie, as well as the News From A Personal War.

cidade de deus, or city of god en anglaise is the name of the area.

fuck no they didn't want a biblical reference, or if they did, only in the most sickeningly ironic way.

I love brazillian music.

 

go pick it up - i think you will like it cw;

pretty much whatever music they had in the movie; some instrumental, some funk & breaks, some 60's and 70's stuff (if that's what you call it), and traditional brazilian stuff...it's beautiful; it makes me mellow/sentimental everytime i listen to it.

i rented it last night. i thought the subtitles were distracting, although i'm glad it was in portugese.

 

the special feature also blew me away. the sheer number of guns on the streets of rio is disturbing, as well as the level of police corruption. this movie was definetly an eye opener.

In a thread a while back i saw a few screenshots from the movie and was really interested. Didn't know anything about the movie....i just really, really loved the stills.

 

I thought the actors were well-casted.

 

 

 

A must see.
