Movie: City of God

It's just your standard movie about 10-year-olds killing 5-year-olds.

OK, not really. But that's in there.

Wow.

Liz added this one to the Netflix queue, although I heard really good things myself and wanted to see it. It basically follows a gang war in Rio in the 1970s (a true story, I might add) through the eyes of a wannabe photographer. The characters are all pretty awful, and it's violent as hell, but incredibly well-filmed.

I doubt I'll ever want to watch it again, but it was certainly worth two hours and ten minutes.
