I thought this movie was pretty bad honestly. The influence The Matrix had on its filmmaking ruins it for me.
It really is though, it's way better than the movies that came after it who try to humanize criminals and the favela life, at least in this movie they show the animals that they really are. You will never see anything like this today.
It’s a great movie and an amazing performance by wagner moura but if I am to believe brazilian Cinemaphile posters then BOPE was or became just as corrupt as regular police.
They are still more based than the regular brazillian police though, the regular police nowdays only arrest wife beaters, imageboard users or right wing boomers who talk shit about their goverment masters while they let REAL criminals run free on the streets. At least BOPE still kills like 5-10 criminals every full moon when one of their own dies.
>I normally don't mind copaganda but Elite Squad was too much even for me
it was actually meant to be an anti-cop movie (everyone in the arts here in brazil is a left-wing homosexual) but it backfired spectacularly and was widely regarded by the public as pro-cop
as you typed this dimwitted quip morondad just raised another tax at the bidding of the nine-fingered goblin so he can keep getting his greedy paws on the taxpayers money, mensalão and petrolão having long been swept under the rug by a servile press and forgotten by a low IQ populace. one wonders how vast the pilfering is going to be this time around. brasil il il

Not the guy who asked about your logic, but City of God, is trying to have a rough 70s cinematic look, which it does. It shares nothing with Matrix's cinematography
>I normally don't mind copaganda but Elite Squad was too much even for me
You do know this movie is anticop tho right ? Most people got mistaken watching it because unlike say starship troopers it relies heavily on innuendo, light satire and subtlety
the woman who gets killed by her husband for cucking him during the first half hour is one of the prettiest chicks I've ever seen and she's probably a 6/10 in Brazil.
It really is though, it's way better than the movies that came after it who try to humanize criminals and the favela life, at least in this movie they show the animals that they really are. You will never see anything like this today.
The chaotic atmosphere most of the time is depressing but can be comfy at times. Living in big cities is like living in the Helluva Boss/Hazbin Hotel hell, full of sex, drugs and violence that is entertaining to watch when you live in a apartment with a nice view.
It really is not that bad at day time, you just have to make sure you're at home before 11 pm and you're golden.
Based. I love my city (born and raised in it), and I definitely don’t hang out with friends as late as I used to. I’ll Uber home from a friend’s place if they’re pretty far and it’s getting late. I’m also getting old, so this rise in crime came at a decent time for me.
It's actually better than California because here there's almost zero racial tension, blacks will rob or attack you solely because of money, not because they are jealous of your skin color.
it sucks, but it's still heaven on earth
I've lived in Rio de Janeiro all my life, and I absolutely love it
not just the beaches and hot women, but the people, the buildings, the landscapes, the atmosphere, the samba and drinking in the streets, the carnival that lasts for months, the soccer banter, the bluest sky in the world, every single thing about this town is just magical to me
sure, I wish there weren't so much crime and poverty, but I wouldn't trade this place for anywhere else in the world
I’m sure some of my positive feelings are probably just nostalgia lol but nice weather, good food, cheap, friendly people, good-looking women. I always heard of people getting mugged while I was there and you know, the police would be doing their thing but I never had any issues with anyone. Enjoy shooting too much though, I guess ideally I’d be far enough out in the bush that nobody would give a shit if I had a shotgun and revolver
Nice. Yeah mugging is a real issue here, I've been mugged at gunpoint a couple times and I live in a good town in the South. But yeah other than that it's not so bad down here.

Hmm I think Brazilians sort of accept it as a fact of life. I know stories from friends, relatives, neighbours. I'm talking armed thieves breaking into their houses or even kidnappings. I've only been mugged on the street a few times. One time when I was a teen by a bunch of white teens and a buff black guy stepped and told them to frick off. But usually the muggers are black. One time I feared for my life, the lowlives had me strip to my boxers, that's how I got home, but I was blackout drunk on the street so it's my fault.
The placidity with which Brazilians accept this is stupid, I know. Right-wing people tend to be pro-gun and roughly half the country is conservative but gun laws are very strict down here. You can own small guns but it's an expensive, heavily bureaucratic process to get them and you can't carry them on the street. Plus if you do gun down a home invader you're likely to face judicial trouble. Meanwhile violent felons seldom spend more than a few years in jail because Brazilian laws and judges tend to lean left and are very lenient with criminals.
So yeah, do we have beautiful vistas, gorgeous women, affluent neighborhoods, good living standards if you have a good income? Yes but this country is a mess there's no denying that. Sorry for the blog post, I write long posts when I'm stressed.

The way most Brazillians are complacent towards gun rights is just baffling, its a issue that both the left and right should tackle on positively and would probably benefit from it.

Yeah Brazilians are weirdly chill about the risk of getting mugged and stuff like that. I laugh sometimes because I carry a revolver everywhere here in the states even though statistically, if I were to ever have needed a gun to defend myself it would’ve been down there, and nothing ever happened to me.

You are operating under the assumption that crime is bad, and since everyone would agree that crime is bad and yet crime still occurs it must be a difficult, complex and multifaceted problem that is not easy to solve, the thing is crime is extremely beneficial to SOME people, the ruling class and politicians with armed guards, living in gated communities benefit tremendously from a high crime rate and since they are never the victim of said crimes there is no downside.
When you have to act like a paranoid schizo every time you go out, always "watching your surroundings", looking from your shoulders, having a better map in your head than google about which roads you can and cannot take, is just fricking exhausting, not only are you tired from your bullshit ass job the commute is like an excursion in Fallujah you just want to fricking sleep when you get home and are finally "safe", there is no time or energy to think about laws or politicians or whatever (and that's why is so beneficial).
There was a referendum about gun ownership and right to carry the majority voted in favor of it, and the government simply ignored it. We are very aware of crime and violence and how it is clearly the biggest problem, but there is no recourse to act, the left tolerates crime because you know who commits them, and the right can always promise to end crime (if only you reelect them, this time bro I promise bro just give me your vote).

Brazil has 60k homicides a year, over 990k homicides in the last 30 years. Death and violence are just part of life. I don't know what is like to feel 100% safe in a city, but that makes me more attentive to my surroundings.
Wouldn't trade my country for a billion dollars though, I love it here. The US seems like hell on earth, mass homelessness, awful food, millions of zombies high on opiods, endless "leftist" liberals nagging everyone, ugly obese people everywhere, etc.
This irony of all of this is no city on thge world is safe.
Sure places like rio or cape town are gonna be dangerous, but in any city you are gonna have career criminals and more importantly people who live the criminal life that live in that city.
The smartest thing to do is just never associate with those people and stick to your own localised areas and the classic tourist shit, which is where the career criminals, pickpocketers etc will focus on

shut up. if you earn +- 10k reais you already can live can live the life of gods in any capital of the northeast. Imagine, warm weather and nice beaches all over
>Capitals of the northeast >+ 10k >"Life of the gods"
Those are some low fricking expectation. Life of the gods? Gods of the favela it must be. No wonder you people are like "that".
shut up. if you earn +- 10k reais you already can live can live the life of gods in any capital of the northeast. Imagine, warm weather and nice beaches all over
they live in a climate where half a year there is summer and second half is spring. Who gives a frick about living in a brick hut if you dont have to worry about the cold and food running out in winter
Brazil is a modern hunter-gatherer society where you are free to live as you want as long as you have enough firepower or barbed wire. What's not to love?
I've been to Rio and even the favela where michael jackson filmed the music video for they don't even care about us. Brazil has its faults but I couldn't bring myself to hate living there with beaches as beautiful as the ones they have there
I'm Brazilian. I moved to the US to study and I miss Brazil everyday. It's terribly dysfunctional, but the people, culture and weather are much better than here. Ideally, I would live 6 months in Brazil and 6 months in the US.
Kino
but at what cost?
Total Ze supremacy
It's good but I still prefer City
Watch elite squad instead
Only the first one is better, City of God completely mogs the second.
Elite squad 1 is kino
I like that it doesnt glorify criminals
It’s a great movie and an amazing performance by wagner moura but if I am to believe brazilian Cinemaphile posters then BOPE was or became just as corrupt as regular police.

Just the stupid camera whooshing. It dates the movie hard to specifically the early 2000s and looks like shit to me.

I never understood the Reddit copaganda narrative
Why at the beginning they live in a flat neighborhood and then later in a hill?
Because initially they lived in the rural area of Rio state and later they moved in to the Favelas surrounding the capital.
It's the same place, it just got urbanized throughout the movie
city of god is a neighborhood and it has hills (on which will be the favelas) in its area
the woman who gets killed by her husband for cucking him during the first half hour is one of the prettiest chicks I've ever seen and she's probably a 6/10 in Brazil.
It really is though, it's way better than the movies that came after it who try to humanize criminals and the favela life, at least in this movie they show the animals that they really are. You will never see anything like this today.
I've never met a Brazilian that denies it's a shithole, they seem to kind of like it.
