All the tiny details that aren't verbally stated make this movie amazing :wow: I'm realizing you could watch it multiple times and still catch something new. On the 2nd watch I caught:
  • Both Benny and Shaggy dreamed of leaving the City with their girl, having a farm and smoking pot but they died tryna leave. These were blood brothers :wow:
  • Lil Z starting his bloodlust as a child and getting killed by children of all people.
  • One of Lil Z's first altercations after his new debut was with Knockout Ned, foreshadowing :whoo:
On the 3rd watch (currently):
  • Benny SAVED Blacky from being killed by Lil Z
    • Blacky wanted to kill Lil Z as a result
      • Blacky killed Benny on accident
        • Benny might've lived if he didn't save Blacky :to:
  • During that same debut of Lil Z, Carrot was cool and giving him props like "You 18, a grown man now. Watch out! :myman:"
Yeah, I caught tons of details on the 2nd watch.

Shaggy's girl rolling with some mid level dealer years after he gets popped.


Lil Ze hijacking a propane tank right before he gets busted, just like in the beginning.

Rockit's friend being in the film through every phase

Lil Ze is given the amulette and told he can't have sex while he has it. His downfall is raping Ned's wife.

If you like City of God, I would recommended "La Haine" and "Un Prophete"
City of men was cool...it was a series about 2 brehs coming of age in the favelas...I forget which one..maybe rochina....it was more lighthearted but it was cool seeing all those black Brazilians and the amateur cast...

Latin America is still very third world also. So just imagine what would've happened(or did happen) if they tried. Argentina's black population was estimated to be around 25%in the early 19th century. By the early 20th, it was alleged to have dropped to less than 3%.

genocide anyone?

Latin Amerixa don't even want black people in the yard much less a foot in the door like we have here.

None of us have a seat at the dinner table though :mjpls:
