This is praised as one of the greater movies of all time but it really felt mediocre. Is there some deeper meaning or appreciate for it I don't understand? It's just hours of people killing and hurting each other over drugs/nothing. Li'l ze especially just seemingly likes killing people for no reason at all, just because he's a psychopath I guess. The only really poignant scene that stuck out to me is near the end when you see the 12 year old kids talk about killing others, highlighting the slums would always be a crime infested hellhole.

Not an argument

It's one of the only decent movies from a country not known for making decent movies, that's all.

You need an IQ higher than 110 to understand this one
Sorry OP
I could try to explain it to you but I don't think you would understand

One of the best tourism films I've seen in a long time.

I got a score of 113 on an iq test

The tension is amazing.
The fact that they just take kids off the street gives it an air of authenticity that is palpatable.

And that perspective shift when Seu George's girlfriend is being raped is a great moment.

Sorry to break it for you but they lied to you user

...

It's a well rounded film, all 3 acts are great. Most movies only have one good act.

It is praised because it has original enjoyable setting. It tries to portray Brazil somewhat realistically instead of the caricature that it often is in US movies.

I agree with the movie being rather lacklustre and hardly the masterpiece it's painted as, though not entirely with your reasoning.

That being said, I wouldn't call it "mediocre". It's a decidedly decent film worth watching.

your brains fried

Name 5 us movies that take place in brazil

Rio the Magnificent was K I N O

what? it masterfully tells like 8 stories inside one, the pacing is great with not a scene wasted and all of them being important later, it's just so solid

Online meme tests are rigged to show around 25 points higher to make people share the site when they brag about their highscore. You probably have 90 or so.

Its almost like most of the movies praised as the greatest of all time, the godfather star wars blade runner anything thats won best picture are mediocre at best.

star wars is a meme but godfather is a masterpiece

>Implying every movie needs a deeper meaning to "get" in order to be good
Some movies are just incredibly well made interpretations of stories that are as old as time.

t. pleb trying to fit in

t. Triggered gombas
Godfather 3 is the only good one

Couldn't get more obvious than this
Weak bait
I miss when newfags would lurk for even years before posting

>implying I haven't been contributing to dank memes for years
Sofia is a better director too
