Satan (eek!) "City of God"- you MUST see this movie!!!!!

I saw this movie last nite at the Cumberland theatre, and was totally blown away by it. It's from Brazil, and has subtitles, but that should not stop you from seeing this film. It's really violent, but it has many funny moments too. Also, keep in mind that this is based on a person's life story, and that most of the 'actors' are real street kids asked to be in the movie.

Sorry, I'm American- when is reading week?
If it's too far off, this movie may not be playing then. No idea how long it'll be around, since it's one of those independant flicks, but I hope it's around for a long time.

Also the real name to the movie is
cidade do deus

Also i just watched the preview and it is true, the amount of guns there, damn it is crazy country. The favalas are very interesting thing, they are all controled by drug lords, but they are safer then the cities as the cops are corrupted hehe. The joke is that it is safer in the favalas then it is in the city. God last year they had a shoot out in downtown. But do not get my wrong, i would go back there in a heart beat, hehe sorry to go off topic just i love brazil.

Yeah, go see this movie, and you'll never complain about those "gun-toting Americans" ever again. American's have NOTHING on the people portrayed in this movie!!!! Total freaking warzone!!!!!!!

hehe but we most remember this is a movie, so the dramatize things a little. hehee, Rio De Janeiro is not a war zone, you just have to know how to live, i am white with orange hair, and no shit happened to me, heeh and i went to the unique parts of rio.

I lived in brazil for 2 years, and will go back to Rio De Janeiro for 4 months this summer, hehe no worries of instant death.

hehehe sorry tatgirl, hehe i just love my city to much, kinda protective of my city.

Hehe and it is a open invite to you guys, if you find your self in rio, give me a ring, and i can show you the city named Cidade Maravilhosa

hehe apolgize for rant.

And yah we should see the movie, may be before the scott bond thing? Just an idea, hehe as i am in peterborough.
