City of God -Review

The movie begins depicting chickens being prepared for a meal which was a wide shot which connotes the struggles of the people as well as the animals in them era. The chicken escapes and an armed gang chases after it, here you see the cammera is following the gang chasing the chicken you also see them with guns which suggests the hardship and the lack of laws in Brazil at the time. Whilst the chicken is running for its life the camera angle has a profile/wide angle shot of the chicken as it escapes.


The chicken comes to a stop between the gang and a young man named Rocket (Buscapé), who believes that the gang wants to kill him.The timeline then flashes back to ten years earlier, as Rocket tells the story of how he got himself into that position.

  1. www a good start with some description of what is happening in the opening, short but accurate

    ebi far more use of media terminology needed, not sufficient work for an AS student
