Below are some of my comments on the above titles:

City of God was a story that took place in perhaps South America, maybe Brazil
where Rio is I think and it depicted the criminal life that the very impoverished especially children were thrown into as a matter of course, with terrible consequenses.

Although I liked this film, it was a wake up call to all the other more developed nations at how extreme poverty and social isolation can and often does lead people into acts of utter desparation and heart break. I enjoyed this film not because I like violence but because it told a real story that was very emotional and eye opening to me for the most part, a wake up call to the rest of humanity.
