What would a city of God look like if God were gone?! That guy, I dare say even the devil would be afraid and wouldn't want to stay longer! A movie of the last century, "City of God", vividly portrayed such a place! Ten years ago, a "City of God" has long become a classic in the history of world cinema, and it is this great film that has let countless fans know that movies can still be made like this, expanded the horizons of viewers, and let people know that there are so many dark corners of the world we live in!
Compared with this film "Bus Horror", it is also a game between the "law of the jungle" and "absolute command" in the "City of God"! However, this film invests a little glimmer in the dark and endless living world! It's like having God and the devil invisible, standing by and watching the secret battle! This film removes a lot of bloody killing scenes, and uses a deeper and heavier way of expression to reveal the dark living environment in which the protagonist is located!
The film "Bus Horror" is based on a real bus hijacking that took place on June 12, 2000, and has been made into a documentary in 2003. Bus Horror is a thriller film directed by Bruno Barreto that tells the story of a teenager whose mother was killed, who has since fallen, joined a gang, took drugs, and hijacked a bus.
The film, which features Brazilian street kids and violence, doesn't reach the heights of City of God, but it also shocks audiences around the world with its authentic and sharp style.
The innocent Rio de Janeiro teenager Sandro witnesses his mother being shot dead by a gangster who comes to rob him at his grocery store. After this, Sandro's life was lost, he mixed with gangsters, not only took drugs, but also became a drug dealer himself.
After escaping a purge of drug dealers by the Rio police, Sandro is mistaken for his own child by Melissa, who has been searching for her son for years, and she does her best to help him, but he still can't escape the precarious life, and after using drugs, he hijacks a bus. Sandro confronted the police for five hours, while the live broadcast on television made the situation even more tense, and finally, tragedy inevitably occurred.
Throughout the film, the little protagonist in the film is like a seed growing in the dark soil, although deeply rooted in it, he has always been hopeful and kind. However, in the dark soil, there was too much filth and toxin that had been poisoning him and making it impossible for him to break free. There was also a slight glimmer of light that gave him hope and gave him the opportunity to change his destiny. But when the time came, he was eventually swallowed up by this dark world! The bus horror scene at the end is the climax of the whole film, or there is a considerable dramatic conflict and appeal! After watching the entire film, I deeply feel the helplessness, confusion, loss, depression and anger in the heart of the protagonist in the film!
Watching the whole movie, people are heavy inside, sighing, dark and endless, where to find the glimmer?!
