Some scenes (especially those with the the young boy thugs) are hard to watch, but the story and characters are engaging.

MCT:May 9, 2008City of God from Fernando Meirelles is a powerful flick with some stunning direction. The violent sequences were pretty brutal which is never bad in my opinion. Good flick.

Scary as hell, the film looks like a docudrama snuff film. I was shocked at the violence in this film, but it is amazing for occasional viewing only.

Magnificent, powerful and totally compelling.
I felt transported into the City of God whilst watching this film, the director really makes you feel every inch of the film and care for and despise some of the characters.
It's a solid yet exciting film with faultless performances. Leandro Firmino was especially excellent as Li'l Zé, I don't think I've ever hated a character as much.
This film is wonderfully crafted with beautiful cinematography that takes you on an exhilirating and brutal journey into the slums of Rio de Janeiro. Probably one of the best foreign films I have seen, it stays with you. See this movie.

Simply put, this is indeed one of the greatest films you will ever see. If that isn't enough to persuade people to watch, I don't know what is.

One of the many masterpieces of the moving image world. City of God tells us a story of two boys living in the same violent neighbourhood of Rio de Janeiro. If you ever think Rio de Janeiro, think Christ the Redeemer. Totally wrong. This movie shows the real truth, and not the delusions of the realm.
One of the two boys eventually becomes a photographer while the other plants his career in drugs; and eventually establises his own mafia. He fights his way up to the very top without knowing the real meaning of life.
The story is told, and re-told from different points of view. This will always be a movie that someone would want to watch over and over again, and will be remembered as a legend. Who cares to what people say about the movie not being in English. Them and their Hollywood will never achieve something like this. Nevertheless, Fernando Mirelles, a legend in moviemaking.posted 711 days ago
