Section A Revision

City Of God

With City Of God you can clearly see that this film is world cinema with it following its convention very strongly.  Making it very easy to place the film within a Genre that Genre being a crime film, this is seen throughout the film with many scenes like the scene on the beach with Rio being glorified or with just generally showing the high life of crime and how there is not much consequence to there actions with Lil’ze getting the women and power.

The Scene most prompt is the end one where rocket escapes a life of crime and Lil’ze is killed by what it is suggested to be his successors, showing that there is in fact a cycle with in the crime but more importantly it is following genre and you see a resolution so this taking away from any realism that could have been conveyed in the film, so it really does not challenge the audiences expectations of Rio. Furthermore also contributing to the fact that this film is world cinema is that this is set over decades, so showing only the climax’s of drama with in the favela’s, and this is done for entertainment purposes and does not give true representation or background information on how they got in the state they did.​
