Movie	City of God
Nutshell	In the ghetto "Ciudade de Dios" in Rio de Janeiro, two young boys follow different paths amid brutal violence and ubiquitious drugs.
Good Things	Astonishing film by Fernando Meirelles based on Paolo Lins factual novel. Everything's first rate here. The director's use of filmmaking technique to tell the story is alternately shocking, witty and breathtaking.
Bad Things	City of God is very true to life and based on real events. After you see all the carnage and then realize it's true, you will want to drink yourself into a coma. Go see it in a theatre near a bar with a license to sell hard liquor.
Features	Drugs, afros, Hang Ten shirts, guns, a cast of thousands who are brilliant but who you've never heard of, drugs, Portuguese, guns, great music, photography, drugs, newspaper folks, guns, ginger drug addict, beautiful girl, unrequited love and guns
Uncomfortable Moments	Well it's about drugs and kids killing each other. Dooyaaiieee...
Notable	The cast is made up of mostly non-actors. Wow wow wow!
Best Part	Don't let the fact that one character is named "Carrot" dissuade you from going to see this film. You have my personal guarantee that there is NO prop comedy in City of God.
Best Line	"Having a hoodlum for a brother sucks."
Crowns	5 out of 5
