Overall I am rating the film a 9/10. Director Fernando Meireless does a good job of spreading the message of the film in an interesting way. The film is well paced, shot well and has exiting editing. An iconic scene for me is the scene where Lil Ze makes a kid murder another kid. The shock factor of the scene is hooking and show how far gone Lil Ze is and how the the upbringing he had affected his deranged actions now. The scenes cinematography utilizes blurring of the camera lens to show the shock the kid is going through. An iconic image for me is the final shot of the movie. It shows some kids walking down an alleyway with guns saying how their going to go kill people. This shot summarizes the whole movie as it is a loop of Lil Ze and shows the effect the city has on the younger generation.
