Sad but true... To some children in Brazil the reality is as hard as pictured in the movie...

in NL we're used to it, only disney film got a voice over....
i think subtitles are fair to the makers of a movie...

I picked up the book the movie was based on by Paulo Lins and it's totally nuts..only a 100 or so pages in and the deathcount is easly 20+!! Shootings, stabbings,decapitation, police homicide, a baby being de-limbed and presented to the mother in a box..

there's a film out called Tsotsi which has been labelled the 'south african city of god', wanted to go see it but nowhere was showing it around here. i think its out on dvd by now

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0468565/

city of god is sick though, there's a television sort-of-spin-off called City of Men which is meant to be quality as well.

City of God is a pure classic.
