ari’s been nagging to get me to watch City of God for a few weeks. he’s seen it, and he wants to share his amazement about the movie. i want to watch it. but i knew the movie would be sick and violent. so i need the right mood to watch it.

so, the other day, when we had nothing to do and i was in a good mood, we finally watched it. it reminds me to KIDS. very similar. except KIDS deals with sex, City of God deals with crimes and violence. or that’s what i think.

the opening scene was hillarious. the cinematography was excellent. the editing was superb. the violence was… amusing. the movie was so violent (especially knowing that the movie is based on a true story), it made me cringe a lot at the beginning of the movie. however, towards the end, it seems that my cringing nerve has gone numb. all’s left was the satyrical and irony of the story…

berry cool.
