Product Information
Director: Fernando Meirelles
The main character in Cidade de Deus is not a person. It is a place. Cidade de Deus is a poor housing project started in the 60's that became one of the most dangerous places in Rio de Janeiro by the beginning of the 80's.
In order to portray the location, the film presents the stories of several characters, with Buscape, the narrator, as a linkage in between. Buscape is a poor black kid too frail and scared to become an outlaw but also too smart to be content with an underpaid job.
Buscape is not the real protagonist of the film, he's not the one who leads pregression, he's not the one who makes the decision on what happens next. Nevertheless, not only his lie is attached to what happens in the story but it is also through his perspective of life that we understand the humanity of a world apparently condemned to endless violence.

Fight and you'll never survive. Run and you'll nev

Ranked #18 in IMDB.com 'Top 250 Movies of All-Time', City of God (2002) is a timeless masterpiece that narrates the tales of boys growing up in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The cinematography and editing is flawless. In addition, the actors in the film were played by young amateur kids. Based on true events happening in the real Rio de Janeiro, where average life span is 30 and drug dealers are the law. Welcome to City of God. |
