Chapter 73: city ​​of god

"A photo can change my life, but in the City of God, if you run away you will be caught, and if you stay, you will be caught. It has been like this since I was a child!"

The teenager standing in the middle of the street was at a loss for what to do, and then the picture began to turn around, allowing people to see the panorama of the tense and suffocating confrontation of the entire street. But turn around again, and the picture came to the 1960s when the sky was full of yellow sand. The boy also turned into a child, standing in front of a shelf that looked like a goal, with the same blank expression on his face.

The kid is the goalkeeper and is defending a penalty. The opponent's player made it overnight, and the child threw himself in the opposite direction in embarrassment, and almost fell down.

In an instant, the tense and suffocating street fighting turned into children playing football and having fun in the slum playground. With such a huge gap in the plot connection, there is no sense of disobedience, which is really surprising.

"Sorry, I forgot to introduce myself, my name is Pao." An older child snatched the football from the dazed child, "He is called Amao, and the story of the City of God must start with him." The camera left the narration This is another interesting phenomenon - the camera does not follow the male lead as usual. "But if we want to talk about him, we have to mention the Three Young Heroes.

Surrounded by a group of children, Amao showed off his ball juggling skills. Two older children of the same age as Amao walked over swaggeringly, which made Amao kick the football into the sky, and then pulled it from the waistband of his trousers. A pistol was pulled out, aimed directly at the football, and there was a "bang" gunshot, and the football was penetrated like this.

The camera freezes, and a line of subtitles appears next to the holed football, the story of "Three Young Heroes".

"The Three Young Heroes are very famous in the City of God, Ah Mao, Ah Jia and Dui. Xiaodouzi and Amao's younger brother Benny are followers, and I have no guts to follow my brother Dumb." Ah Pao's narration introduction led the audience into the In the story of the Three Young Heroes.

Three teenagers, with two children as attendants, and three pistols in their hands, not only hijacked a gas truck, mobilized half of the slums to grab the gas in the car; After robbing all of them, Xiaodouzi beat up the driver even more violently. His cheerful laughter was unscrupulously publicized under the sky, even if the police arrived in time, they were helpless.

Ethan felt that the movie was getting more and more interesting. Although the director adopted the "Pulp Fiction" split-act form to explain the story, and the series of narrations added a sense of drama to the movie, the construction and editing of the shots were revealing everywhere. With deep meaning. Ethan can vaguely feel the contradictions and depressions...the world stretches infinitely but is trapped in a cage with nowhere to escape, especially in the children's expressions that are taken for granted, accustomed to, and joyful, crimes The darkness of violence and violence becomes insignificant, but intriguing.

Ethan turned his head to look at Joel subconsciously, and then saw Joel supporting his chin with his right hand, his eyebrows slightly moved closer to the middle, showing a deep thought look. Ethan's gaze didn't stop, but he immediately took it back and re-entered the movie, but there was a playful smile on the corner of his mouth.

"I used to think that the three young heroes were the most ruthless characters in Rio de Janeiro, but in fact they are just half-toned. My brother is the same." A Pao's plain and simple commentary amidst the cheerful samba melody made the audience's emotions fluctuate Rise up, "We came to the city of God to seek heaven, many homes were destroyed by floods, and arson is most common in slums, high government officials are not kidding, homeless? Go to the city of God! There is no electricity and roads are not paved , There are no buses, but the rich and powerful don’t care about our lives, Rio de Janeiro has already forgotten us.”

The young Sanxia felt that there was still too little to be gained by robbing gas vehicles, so under Xiaodouzi's suggestion, they decided to go to the motel to rob the couples who were opening rooms.

The Three Young Heroes agreed to only rob and not kill people, and then ignored Xiaodouzi’s strong protest and asked Xiaodouzi to stay at the door of the hotel to watch out. Fire a warning shot at the police. The robbery went so well that they did not even hurt a single passenger, and managed to pull off one of the most noteworthy feats of their rogue career.

Then they heard Xiaodouzi's warning shots and fled in a hurry. But when he returned to the door, he could no longer find Xiaodouzi. The repeated gunshots from the motel made the young Sanxia no time to continue searching, so he could only run away.

However, when the police/police arrived at the scene, they found that all the hotel staff and passengers were dead, which made the young Sanxia a suspect in the intensive pursuit of the police/police.

In this sleepless chaos, Xiaodouzi who stayed at the door to watch the wind disappeared, and the fate of the young three heroes also went in a completely different direction.

Ah Jia has seen through life and death, and decides to return to the church and stop being a hooligan. The irony is that Ah Jia was calm and heroic in the face of the police's pursuit, but the police directly skipped him and caught up with another figure who fled with a guilty conscience. In the end, the man who escaped was directly shot dead, but in fact he was just an honest worker who escaped out of natural fear of the police/police, but was mistakenly killed by the police/police and falsely accused of being a robber, ending his own life. Ah Jia threw himself into the arms of God.

Dumb returned home, was detained by his father at home, and never had anything to do with hooligan life. In the life of helping his father sell fish, Duan fell in love with the wife of a man nicknamed Shorty and had an affair with her, but was caught and raped by Shorty in bed, so he had to run away in a hurry. During the escape, Duan accidentally found Xiaodouzi—they thought Xiaodouzi was killed by the police, and Xiaodouzi was with Benny and took a lot of money. Dumb snatched Xiaodouzi's money, and then disappeared from sight.

Mao fell in love with a girl, Benic, while avoiding the police/police. Benice always hoped that Amao could find a job and lead a normal life, but Amao was unwilling until something happened to the dwarf. After the dwarf found out about the adultery between Ah-Dai and his wife, he beat his wife to death with a shovel in a fit of rage. Then, the Dongchuang incident caused a sensation. The entire City of God was surrounded by policemen and reporters. In a panic, Ah-Dai Mao decided to take Benice away.

Amao and Benice stopped a car at random, pointed a pistol at the driver's head, and asked him to take them out of the city of God. But there was a problem with the car, and Ah Mao had to go down and push the car forward so that the driver could start the engine. The dwarf who was captured by the police saw this scene, became angry, and reported Amao's true identity to the police. During the pursuit of Amao, the police shot Amao in the abdomen.

In order to divert the attention of the police/police so that Benice can leave smoothly, Amao started to flee, escorting Benice to leave all the way. But in the end, Amao was shot all over his body and died tragically on the street.

This is the end of the story of the Three Young Heroes.

Joel fell into deep thought. What surprised him was not just Lance's sophistication. The three-line story was handled without panic. The documentary-style romance and the drama-style narrative were perfectly combined, with appropriate details and strong storytelling. , with a distinctive style, the most important thing is that the rhythm is properly controlled, and the process of advancement is fast but still shining; All polished.

The most memorable scene is that Ah-Dai fled from the dwarf's house after being caught/raped, but he was completely naked and only took a top to cover his important parts, so Ah-Dai asked Ah-Pao to take off his shorts for him. As a result, Ah Pao didn't realize the seriousness of the matter at all, and laughed at Dui haha. But in the end, Ah Pao still took off his shorts to Ah Pao.

This was the last time Ah Pao saw Dumb.

The innocence of the teenagers, the friendship between brothers, and the endless yellow sand in the camera make the story shine with a touch of innocence amidst the panic of cruelty and ferocity. When I saw this scene, there was even a burst of laughter in the cinema. That kind of comfort is almost impossible for works of the same type.

In the last scene, Amao ran staggeringly on the wide street, the police chased while shooting, and the residents on the side of the road stood curiously and calmly on the spot, and the sad and desolate music seemed even more ironic , actually produced a kind of grandeur and poetic quality of Shakespearean tragedy.

Next, Joel was even more attracted to the movie. When the story entered the 1970s, Pao had become a young adult. Pao, who became interested in photography because of frequent news events in his childhood, used the most basic Simple equipment began to embark on the road of photography, and the first subject of A Pao's photography was his sweetheart—Anjielica. He hoped to dedicate his virginity/male body to Angelica.

But unfortunately, Angelica has a boyfriend, Tiago.

Despite this, A Pao is still willing to work hard to get close to Angelica. UU Reading www.uukanshu.comAnjielica smokes marijuana/marijuana, but Tiago is even more serious, smoking white/powder. In order to please Angelica, Pao offered to offer that he could go to Hei Zai to get high-quality marijuana at a low price. When he arrived at Heizai's marijuana-selling apartment, he was met with an uninvited visitor. Xiaodouzi and Benny came to the door with a large group of younger brothers.

So, this enters the second story, "the story of this apartment".

The whole story is very simple. In less than four minutes, the story of how this apartment gradually evolved into a fixed marijuana sales point was told in the way of montage, and it witnessed the growth of Hongmao from a younger brother to a domineering drug dealer. Xiao Xiao's process, and then handed over the apartment to his trusted subordinate, Hei Zai. However, Xiaodouzi came to seize the territory at this time.

At this time, Xiaodouzi is no longer Xiaodouzi, but Xiaobawang, and this has entered the third story, "The Story of Xiaobawang"!

A Pao's narration takes the audience back to the night of motel robbery in the 1960s, revealing all the truth. Xiaodouzi, who has always longed to become the leader of the City of God, betrayed the three young heroes including his brother Amao, and ruthlessly caused a murder of more than a dozen people in the motel! He is the real murderer!

"Oh!" The entire movie theater exclaimed. Even though the cheerful samba music still had a dramatic effect, the cruelty behind the extreme contradiction slowly seeped out. Looking at the eight-year-old little Douzi generally killed everyone in the hotel while playing a game, and even laughed triumphantly. The cruelty was chilling.
