I was skeptical at first when my friend put it on but i was surprised. the movie was crazy but actually really good. check it out if you haven't seen it...

Amazing movie, will stay with you long after you see it

Awesome movie!

Awesome movie.

I been to Rio De Janeiro for 3-4 mnths a year,last 4 years.

I been to this locations,in favelas,and looked,its unbelivable,system they have there.

But things are a lot bether now,that it use to be,actually i have never seen anything happend there at all, and i been everywhere,but of coz,stuff happend there as it does here and everywhere.

And Brazil is the last paradise on this earth !

i've seen it.. it was a great movie!

It was decent but didnt quite live up to the hype.

great film.

i haven't seen that movie.

that movie is tight, wasn't expecting to like it and then it just blew me away, very well done movie, documentary is really good too!

before I start let me say - Hi Peaches ;)

Secondly - one of the best films I have ever watched.

I saw it not too long ago. It was one heck of a movie :thumbsup

Hehe ;)

Great flick - be sure and watch the extra on the DVD that shows the real life people involved.

I have Carandiru on my Netflix list - anyone seen it?

Awesome movie, A Brazilian Goodfellas but with MORE guns and crime.
A real eye opener and more poignant cos it's a real live problem going on right now.....

yes..I am the one that told you to put it on the list :) It is slow starting but once it gets going it is a really compelling film.

havent seen it..

There's a follow-up mini series to the film called City of Men that's in I believe the 3rd season now. The show continues following a couple of the kids as they get older and dealing with living in the favelas. Really fucking good.
I'm going to Rio in a couple of weeks, can't wait.

LOL!! :) As you know, my mind is one giant brain fart these days. :Oh crap

Cool - I think it's coming this week or next :thumbsup

Thats the one about the kid that wants to become a photographer and there are the 2 gangs?
If its that one Im thinking about, I turned it on cuz there wasnt anything else on & what a great movie!!! Ended up watching it again later that night.
The one they showed on TMN only had pictures of the realy kid. It would have been cool to hear what happened after etc...

yes, very very good movie.

The film was set in São Paulo I belive :)
Personally I prefer the carribean, but Brazil is very nice and you can find some amazing spots there out of the cities
