Say hello to hell. Or maybe not.
So first, let's talk about guns, 'cakes', and guns and cocaine. Ever familiar with the things mentioned before? The film, the city of God in the film City of God, presents more of these things, along with hoodlum, robbery, deceit, corruption, and murder. Pair it with a dose of racist remarks (if you're a racist) and a hint of comedy and drama, this film will surely loose your screws.
Every scene fires up one's desire either to stop the on-going war, or to just kill someone freely. It opens the eyes of the viewers as to what are the effects of these contemptuous acts, especially for the young people. And on the later part of the movie, the viewers will see the changes that can be brought about if one's ideals are paired with revenge or any extreme emotional disturbance.
This film will surely stir your insides.
How was the concept of death incorporated in this film? Simple. The killing spree. This simple notion of death was further intensified by the director or the film editors, by dimming the film, by the use of deadly weapons, which obviously signify death, and the different roads, where the killings usually took place. Also, notice that the director of photography, if you meticulously looked at the movie completely, you'd notice that when the chicken was lacerated using that sharpened saw, it was completely focused to give the audience an idea that the film was somewhat that morbid.
Summing all up the symbols presented in this film, we can clearly say that all leads to death.
