Movie Master

In the distant future, the network has become an indispensable part of people's lives, and the interaction between the virtual network and the real world has gradually integrated, especially with the development of various social networks such as Facebook, Twitter, and ** With the emergence of the Internet, the influence of the online world composed of independent individuals on reality has been increasing. Barack-Obama (Barack-Obama) also became the first president in history to use social networks flexibly to win the election.

But at the moment in 2003, the rise of the Internet is still in the early stage of development, and even the use of blogs is far from reaching its peak. This made the activities launched by Javier's blog unconventional, and immediately attracted the attention of all netizens - people realized for the first time that they could also express their opinions like professional film critics, and win attention and recognition. For the general audience who passively accept information, it is tantamount to earth-shattering shock.

As a result, the entire Internet erupted because of the City of God. Javier carefully selected netizens' comments every day, and published two to three articles every day, and carried out the entire interactive publicity in a mighty way.

Sarah from Chicago said, On a boring and depressed night, when I was passing by the Landmark Cinemas, I was pulled into the theater by my friends and wanted to find a movie to pass the time. We randomly chose 'God City'. I have to admit, I'm glad we made that choice, because when the movie started, I completely ignored my friends for the entire evening, completely blown away by the movie!

I think it's an excellent movie, powerful, moving, raw, real and even funny in some parts. I left with a smile when the movie was over, it's one of those rare great movies, especially with the cries for war getting louder lately, the movie is able to give us some insight - there's no conflict at the end of the movie Drama and drama are just a fragment of life, but they have triggered thoughts that I can't calm down for a long time.

10 out of 10, I give 10. Do watch it if you get the chance.

A netizen in Minneapolis with the user account of Hell Clown commented, There is no doubt that 'City of God' is an excellent work, and we have seen countless reports about it from the news media in the past period The praise of the work, in my opinion, these praises are still not enough to express the excitement and excellence of this movie.

The stories and characters based on real stories endow the whole movie with a fantasy color, the kind of colorful colors exclusive to Rio de Janeiro, but hidden in the shadow of the bright sunshine in Brazil, it is a land where the average life expectancy is less than 30 years old. Older, drug/traffickers are God's area.

There is no absolute protagonist in the movie, the City of God is, but every character living in this City of God is so real, so exciting, so extreme, so distinct, what is even more rare is that a group of young and strange actors They have given these characters fresh vitality.

The way the director narrates the film is sophisticated and personal, but also funny and, above all, bloody shocking. Quentin Tarantino always comes to mind when watching a movie, some clever time jumps, still moments, and some witty and playful cinematic details reminiscent of 'Pulp Fiction' or 'Goodfellas', But it is full of the director's unique style and taste.

Overall, City of God is a rare masterpiece, and it is worth recommending to everyone. Full marks, ten points!

Netizen Hello Kitty from New Jersey gave a seven-point evaluation, The description of violence in this movie is calm but deep into the bone marrow. It seems that there is no bloody picture, but it leaves a deep impression on people. But It is a pity that the whole movie lacks the growth of the characters and the injection of emotion, as if all the characters are dissociated from the movie, making the movie lack a real soul-maybe this is the purpose of the director, emphasizing the impact of violence on this city. the impact.

After watching the movie to a certain stage, I began to not care about those emotional descriptions, because there were several powerful scenes in the movie that made me feel powerless and angry, and even my emotions were out of control, but this made me feel even more ashamed—— Because the movie would be more powerful and better if it had more emotion.

Netizen Sukes in Dallas screamed and roared, Great! Great! Great! This is definitely the most outstanding work in Hollywood in the past three years. There is no one. The whole movie is roaring about true cruelty. Taught me a profound lesson. It may be the most violent and relentless movie ever made, but it's also the most beautiful and moving movie ever made.

A netizen in Salt Lake City with capitalized Henry gave a bad evaluation of zero, I couldn't understand this movie at all, and I couldn't even watch it. I started to feel bored and almost wanted to sleep. Except for the most important few Outside of this character, the other characters don't have any meaning at all, I can't even recognize who is who. And the random clips in the movie ruin the whole rhythm and distract me. The thing is, I feel violated by the violence in the movie, which is completely inappropriate, not to mention the way it tarnishes the image of Brazil in a disgusting way. What a terrible movie, I'm so sorry Shame on myself for watching this movie.

Bill, a New York netizen, scored three points. Although he didn't fall to the bottom of zero, his detailed comments became a typical representative of negative comments.

I don't care if it's a movie based on a true story or not, it's the most time-wasting, heartless, meanest piece of work I've ever seen. As a foreign language movie, maybe it can barely beat the 'Amelie' and 'Speak to Her' are seriously overrated simply because of the sharp editing style. And the reviews that compare this movie to 'Goodfellas' are disgusting.

There is no personality, no humanity, no sympathy in this movie, and during the two hours and ten minutes of watching the movie, we just saw brutal and merciless killings, over and over again, as if In Brazil there is nothing left but killing. While that's scary, it needs more kernels for a film. What is the purpose of this film?

Where is the real humanity of the movie? Believe it or not, even a serial killer is more tender than this movie. Female characters are almost ignored in this movie, and the personality of the characters is completely obliterated. We can't even find a complete character, just like a horror movie that is not scary at all, bloody and boring. Hollow and lackluster.

For those who keep praising this movie, I just want to say, you can try renting the tape, and then keep pressing pause, and calculate how long is the longest shot in the movie without dead people? I believe it will never exceed four minutes. 'City of God' doesn't explain at all why Brazil's crime rate is so high, or why that favela is so hopeless.

If you want to watch a two-hour, ten-minute music video, there's nothing wrong with that; but if it's a movie, it's an insult to the movie. honestly.

Javier's blog updates netizens' comments almost every day, but compared to netizens' film reviews, the debates under these film reviews are the real exciting part. From this moment, we can see the characteristics of social networks in the future: people hide behind the computer, just like wearing a mask, in the online world, they can unscrupulously be their true selves, and express all negative emotions without reservation. Let it out.

Perhaps, the opinions of these netizens are not professional enough, and they are even laymen who don’t know much about movies, but it is undeniable that they are part of the movie market, and their opinions have no effect on City of God. But it can arouse other netizens' opinions in favor or against, and then further heat up the discussion.

In just one week, Javier published 17 comments from netizens, of which 10 were praises, four were criticisms, and three were neutral. But what is interesting is that these 17 comments from netizens have attracted nearly 900,000 views of Javier's blog, which is also a new high since Javier started the blog; The following triggered more than 30,000 message discussions-although many of them were repeated discussions by the same users, it can still be called appalling.

This caused a shock in the entire communication and journalism circles!

Chloe-Moore (Chole-Moore) is one of them. For the first time in her life, she discovered that the Internet is such a fun thing.

On the Internet, all kinds of thoughts, speeches, and opinions will emerge from all over the world, some are absurd, some are thought-provoking, and some are resonant... It seems that this is a platform where everyone can speak fairly. In front of a computer, you can connect the whole world.

Almost every day, Chloe would log on to Javier's blog, browse today's update, and yesterday's reply to the message, and then join the discussion. This makes Chloe never tire of it, and the time spent in front of the computer is getting longer and longer every day. Until one day, watching thousands of people join this discussion and express their thoughts one after another, Chloe suddenly had an idea, Why don't I write a review?

Chloe does what she says.

Sitting in front of the computer, Chloe originally thought that all this would be very difficult. As a student of Columbia University's film department, she is good at movies, not writing-she was almost passed in the screenwriting class last semester. But when I really put my hands on the keyboard, the thoughts in my mind are like a spring. This feeling is very strange, but it is also very wonderful.

For the first time, Chloe realized that she was trying to share her thoughts with the world, and this feeling... was subtle.
