I have NOT seen this movie. I looked it up on netflix (wish it was on instant) and it sounds pretty interesting, but definitely a movie that seems like you really just need to watch it. I mean watch it as opposed to judge it by it's "cover", which has become comfortable for me since Hollywood started making only 5% of its films decently.

City of Men, i think there are two. one's a tv kinda series and one is a movie. i read the description briefly on amazon and it said something about it not being an official sequel, but being in brazil and having some of the same actors?

I have seen City of Men on late night cable (Showtime or something similar) and it does seem to be in the same spirit of City of God. I have only seen the first third or so of COG, up until the main bad guy is a kid and goes to the hotel or bordello for the robbery, so I can't say for sure, but it was a pretty raw movie for what it was.

Brazil ups the punx fo' sho'!

Brazil doesn't fuck around. Which is the main idea in City of God.

this film is absolutely breathtaking. The visuals are stunning, and that's not even talking about the actual story of this film. Raw, intentional and sometimes brutal, I remember the first time I saw this film, and the long hours I spent laying in bed afterwards, thinking about it.

god, what a great thing to exist.

Send it straight to the top. It's better than anything else you have in your queue because it's one of the greatest movies ever. Do it. You won't regret it.
