most of the actors in this film, mostly teenagers, had never acted in a film, they were recruited from poor communities in Rio de Janeiro known as favelas.
And they were offered either a lump-sum, one-time payment, or a percentage of what the movie would go on to make... Who could have known the future success of this film? As far as I know, most, if not all, took the few thousand dollars...

I loved this movie from the moment I saw it, even though I don't like reading subtitles ... I later saw "The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou", and realized "Knockout Ned" (Seu Jorge) was in it, playing the guitar, and singing. Did some research, and found out this dude is a dope-ass artist. Went to Strawberries, and bought his cd, "Cru"... Fell in love with the music, and the language... After a while, a whole crew of Brazilians came to work where I worked, and that's where I met my wife... I live with her, in Brasil now, and I love it here, and still love this movie... And now I watch it, and don't have to read the subtitles.
Yeah, but the story was a bit fabricated in the movie. There was actually a war in the street between Lil Ze (Jose Eduardo Barreto Conceicao) & Knockout Ned(Mané Galinha ) , but the real story is that Knockout Ned was actually killed by Lil Ze's gang in the same way as Knockout Ned's brother was killed in a fury of bullets after they found out where he lived and caught him slipping coming out of the house. In the movie, his brother was killed but it was actually Knockout Ned that was killed in front of his family. Can read more here pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Man%C3%A9_Galinha
"They're in hell. Of course they gonna turn into demons" That's one hell of a summation, man. You really understood the point of the story. Thanks for the reaction, mate.
the actors were actually favela residents and “normal people”. They were trained to act in the movie because they lived in the favelas, so the director thought they would portray the reality better than real actors could.
There is indeed a little of that essence in the production of the film, but what enriches this film was the methodology and all the care to work with such a young cast and the responsibility not to produce something cliché but with a message that marks the viewer for a good documentary research on social inequality in Brazil and in the world.
@@olivrino Tropa de Elite é bom mas não tem o trabalho artístico de câmeras e tal como feito no Cidade de Deus. Cidade de Deus os caras mitaram mano. Além do fato de terem treinado moradores da Cidade de Deus para atuarem no filme, dando muito mais riqueza a toda a narrativa. Além de ter sido uma atitude bem legal com os moradores. É um épico
Uma pérola do cinema brasileiro. A verdade nua e crua da crueldade existente nas favelas, e como somos descartáveis e esquecidos pelo governo. O que eu acho incrível do filme, foi que eles colocaram as pessoas da comunidade para atuar, pessoas que nunca nem fizeram aulas, o que fizeram em meio as gravações e eles foram simplesmente geniais. Temos atrizes e atores consagrados que não têm nem metade do talento desses caras. É um orgulho esse filme.
Fernando Meirelles created a tv show called City of Men (or Cidade dos Homens) which is amazing. A little less gritty with some really lighthearted episodes, but shows all the things the boys have to deal with growing up in a favela.
Man, you are extremely clever. I've seen this and also your Elite Squad reaction and I am totally amazed. Believe me, these English subtitles are not good. They miss a LOT of details from what the actors are saying, but even with that, you understand these movies better and faster than the majority of us Brazilians. Congratulations, bro
O custo de uma boa dublagem é alto, mas esse filme merecia, assim como outros clássicos brasileiros, uma dublagem em inglês traria muito mais público internacional para assistir essas obras, compreender a riqueza dos diálogos.
I didn't understand how many movies from USA, we use to keep the original names of the characters, and movies like this the names were translated into English. It's so strange.
an interesting thing about this movie is a lot of the scenes were actually improvised by the actors and it was so good this is one of my all time best no doubt
Ye, ik it is a 7 month old comment but the coolest improvisation they did (atleast for me) was the part on 8:00 where they intentionally made the kids don't talk much with the adults while making the movie so on scenes like that the kids were really scared at them not just acting, a bit of horrifying but also a mastermind plan.
Alguns dos atores do filme são "crias" de favela mesmo (Dadinho, Zé galinha, Bené entre outros personagens) Vieram de projetos sociais de teatro dentro das comunidades. Por isso, eles estão tão familiarizados com a realidade e dão vida aos personagens, por sua própria vivência.
Hey man. If you watch the videoclip "Minha Alma" from "O Rappa", the clipe starts immediately when this movie ends. And the music was released yeas before the movie.
7:22 the thing about the guy giving money for the white kid buy him clothes it's because he could never enter the stores to buy the clothes and even if he did, people would wonder where a black kid could have that kind of cash so they would report him for sure. Up to these days kids can't barely leave the favelas and very often we see scenes like police intercepting public busses and removing people from them... We never had a formal appartheid in Brazil but there is a invisible one.
I worked as a salesman on a famous (and expensive) clothing store near Ipanema beach, and sometimes kids like Benny would come to the store and buy a whole lotta clothes, and pay on cash, and I never reported them
This is just a 10/10 movie. Everything is perfect, writing, cinematography, acting, soundtrack, everything. Masterpiece. Too bad Fernando Meireles wasn't able to keep up this level of directing in his next projects
This is by far the best review/ reaction video of this movie. It's one of my top three ever, and you mentioned how Zé broke the rule by fornicating while wearing the amulet. You are the ONLY one who noticed that out of all the folks I've heard talk about CoG. Btw, City of Men, the next iteration, kind of, is alright also. Not on CoG level, but still worth watching.

Hey, man, thanks for react, it's so cool to know that people from another country appreciate our films. this movie is crazy, is a reality and a routine of ours. I think this movie is very heavy, I can't even watch it. This movie makes me feel the same way when watching Boy in the hood, only that city of god is crazy
Dude... I'm using google translator to say: very cool your analysis of this movie. We Brazilians have the pain of having lost the Oscar for best international film with this film. This is one of our works of art, we venerate the technique applied in this film and to see an American speak so highly of a work as well done as this is very gratifying. Congratulations. I'm sharing your channel. Well done.
Maybe my favorite movie. Ever. This is full cinematic advantage-taking. Great moving pictures, impelling narrative, and amazing soundtrack. Anything else (charming characters, true historia, excellent editing) just add to this masterpiece. I luv this film soo much. Glad u got this. "La Haine" is also deep, with badd camera work + the soundtrack. Might wanna check it out.
man, I'm from brazil and I'm so glad to see someone from another country recognizing such a great film when people here fail to worship our amazing art as a thank you gift, I suggest you to watch City of Men, which is an amazing serie based on the same reality of City of God - it has some of City of God's actors there acctualy - you're gonna love it!! there's also a documentary about City of God which shows how all these great artits remained poor even though the film was a sucess (except for the white girl - who is a talent artist aswell - but that's obviously not the point) congrats for this awesome yt channel!!
Had to watch this movie for a film class I am in and thoroughly enjoyed your reaction and review. Your reactions had me cracking up, so thanks for the laugh. I have to be honest this movie is not my cup of tea, but definitely was still able to appreciate it as a cinematic masterpiece.
Olá amigo, tudo bem? Só queria comentar que eu conheci pessoalmente o Cenoura, trabalhei na Cidade de Deus por 3 anos, na verdade o apelido dele é Batata, ele pegou vários anos de cadeia, como o próprio filme diz ele foi um presente pra imprensa, hoje ele está livre e trabalhando na área social. Parabéns pelo canal!
Whats up man. Tiago, brazilian here. Man, Cidade de Deus it's pure MASTERPIECE. And again (i did say the same thing, in your vídeo about Tropa de Elite 2) 1.000% real about the reality of the country, plus, it' real story. Congrats for the channel. God bless you.
MAno to adorando ver suas reações à cultura cinematografica e musical brasileira. Tudo q vi ate agora é de coisas muito respeitadas por aqui. Te indico voce assistir o documentário " Cidade de Deus - 10 anos depois" Que mostra o q rolou na produção e como estao os atores do filme hoje. Alguns seguiram carreira, e outros ficaram na miseram, outros morreram ou sumiram. No filme tem um elenco enorme de não-atores (na época_ ) Abraço !
part of this film was recorded in my hood, in my apartment( its a hood but have AP's) I seen they making some scenes and some peoples of my hood was invited to make figuration. I’ve known your channel for a few days and I’m really enjoying your work.
@@GoonyGoogles it's a really good movie, It talks about the slaves that got here from africa, And how they developed the Capoeira, A fighting style that can be "Disguised" As a dance. (If i am remembering it correctly, i watched it a long time ago)
It is interesting that this movie's story happens in the context of our military dictatorship, at the end of it, in the late 70's and during the 80's. So, the favelas and the organized crime were formed during this period. The city of god, the region, was founded by a public program by the government that send poor people away from urbanized area, with no social protection. Like they needed to "sanitize" the urban rich areas from the poor just expelling them. Also, during this period (dictatorship, 1964-1985) brazilians had no political rights (right to vote) and many civil rights were extinct, like habeas corpus. At the same time, we didn't have a legal and formal justice system (because it was suspended) fully funcioning, so both police and common crime were normalized. Crime paid off. And only a few people knew abou it because we had censorship on media. Only people that lived in the favelas at that time knew this was happening. That was one of the causes of the raise of organized crime and militia in Brazil, but no one talks about it today. This is the same organized crime that lives today all over our contry. On that time, we had this paramilitary police ("death squads") that persecuted the poor and black people, comunists, leftists and university students whith leftist "tendencies" and armed guerrillas. Tortured them, killed them and hide. And with censured media the brazilians from that time didn't knew about those things. Also, the military coup happened because the USA government made pressure on our army. In 1964 the USA army had a maritime military fleet on our coast, in case the coup did not work out. I am only talking abou this stuff because we need to contextualize historically and socially this movie to fully understand it. This movie is a story about how organized crime raised in our country. Para os brasileiros que querem entender melhor do que eu estou falando. A ditadura militar gestou o crime organizado. super.abril.com.br/historia/mito-na-ditadura-militar-as-cidades-nao-eram-violentas/ jornal.usp.br/atualidades/livro-relata-historico-das-milicias-e-dos-esquadroes-da-morte-na-era-bolsonarista/ www.dw.com/pt-br/o-brasil-do-regime-militar-idealizado-por-bolsonaro/a-45951726
It’s kinda of a shame that the lyrics in English don’t translate well the slurs, names and kinds of the general tone that was in Portuguese, half of the content got lost
I really enjoyed your reaction and mostly your comments at the end! I know a lot of people probably told you to react to this movie already but I will ask too because its one of the best brazilian movies. The name is Elite Squad (Tropa de Elite), this movie shows the favela reality from different perspectives (both cops and people that live there), it also represents better the reality of the current times because City of God is showing the favelas of the 60's ~ 80's.
@@GoonyGoogles be aware that Elite Squad has a lot of facist undertones, it was very popular in Brazil and fuelled a lot of the far right ideology that would put Bolsonaro in power years later.
@@xeroxparc Lol you don't know what a facist state is if it hits you in the head...Vargas was facist, and no one batches an eye. I don't like Bolsonaro but I'm not that dumb to say stupid things like these.
@@ghost_kinggamer do you even know the meaning of the word "undertones"? I used that word for a reason. Also, I didn't said said Bolsonaro's government is fascist, it sems you understood something completely different from what I actually said.
@GoonyGoogles The craziest thing is that "Zé Pequeno" and "Mané Galinha" are real people, and the real war in Rio de Janeiro starts in the 70's bro your channel is awesome
Good reaction. I recall buying this as a blind buy on DVD when it first came out based on all the great reviews during its limited theater release. Immediately it became one of my all time favorites. By the way outside of the politicians and tourism businesses, no one is trying to sell Brazil as a racial utopia. I learned about the racial makeup and the history of the slave trade in Brazil about ten years before you did.
You're a hell of a communicator and an analyst. You would have enjoyed this film even more if you could understand portuguese and Rio's accent in particular.

to be honest, I prefer Brazilian movies, they are the best in so many levels, maybe because I can relate to it
Nice reaction, another good movie from Brazil is elite squad
nah
I don't agree at all. City of God is a great movie. Elite Squad isn't even good.
@@rafaelhpalomino Etile Squad is way better than city of god
@@paulocezar3028 I don't think so.
@@paulocezar3028 no... it's not, not even close.
Maybe my favorite movie. Ever. This is full cinematic advantage-taking. Great moving pictures, impelling narrative, and amazing soundtrack. Anything else (charming characters, true historia, excellent editing) just add to this masterpiece. I luv this film soo much. Glad u got this. "La Haine" is also deep, with badd camera work + the soundtrack. Might wanna check it out.
man, I'm from brazil and I'm so glad to see someone from another country recognizing such a great film when people here fail to worship our amazing art
as a thank you gift, I suggest you to watch City of Men, which is an amazing serie based on the same reality of City of God - it has some of City of God's actors there acctualy - you're gonna love it!!
there's also a documentary about City of God which shows how all these great artits remained poor even though the film was a sucess (except for the white girl - who is a talent artist aswell - but that's obviously not the point)
congrats for this awesome yt channel!!
Seria do caralho se ele reagisse ao "CARTOLA - PRECISO ME ENCONTRAR"
"Bora gigante"
Cara foi a melhor explanação do filme que já ouvi .....parabéns mano
Loving your channel. Great job!
As a brazillian i'm deeply offended that you cut the name of the weapons dealer: Uncle Sam.
😂
Isn't he an American Brazilian? At least the actor is.
@@musicaleuphoria8699 There’s no such thing. An American Brazilian? He is a Brazilian
@@richlisola1 Sorry, I mean a born New Yorker raised in Brazil.
The most appropriate scene cut I've seen during a reaction at about 2:12. "Heh heh heh...." "What the fuck, man...."
Muito maneiro os vídeos que vc posta. Esse filme mostra a realidade que as vezes pra algumas pessoas são diferentes.
Had to watch this movie for a film class I am in and thoroughly enjoyed your reaction and review. Your reactions had me cracking up, so thanks for the laugh. I have to be honest this movie is not my cup of tea, but definitely was still able to appreciate it as a cinematic masterpiece.
mlr é ver os brasileiros conversando em inglês com outros brasileiros sem perceber
Olá amigo, tudo bem? Só queria comentar que eu conheci pessoalmente o Cenoura, trabalhei na Cidade de Deus por 3 anos, na verdade o apelido dele é Batata, ele pegou vários anos de cadeia, como o próprio filme diz ele foi um presente pra imprensa, hoje ele está livre e trabalhando na área social. Parabéns pelo canal!
Hello from Brasil. Was very nice to me see this movie again through your point of view. Thanks!
Whats up man. Tiago, brazilian here. Man, Cidade de Deus it's pure MASTERPIECE. And again (i did say the same thing, in your vídeo about Tropa de Elite 2) 1.000% real about the reality of the country, plus, it' real story.
Congrats for the channel. God bless you.
MAno to adorando ver suas reações à cultura cinematografica e musical brasileira. Tudo q vi ate agora é de coisas muito respeitadas por aqui. Te indico voce assistir o documentário " Cidade de Deus - 10 anos depois" Que mostra o q rolou na produção e como estao os atores do filme hoje. Alguns seguiram carreira, e outros ficaram na miseram, outros morreram ou sumiram. No filme tem um elenco enorme de não-atores (na época_ ) Abraço !
"he looks poor but he have a gun"
Wellcome to brasil bro
Welcome to any 3rd world country you mean
Your reactions and perceptions about brazilian reality are amazing!
part of this film was recorded in my hood, in my apartment( its a hood but have AP's) I seen they making some scenes and some peoples of my hood was invited to make figuration.
I’ve known your channel for a few days and I’m really enjoying your work.
React to the Brazilian film ( Besouro ) is a capoeira film.
Thank you so much for this suggestion.
@@GoonyGoogles it's a really good movie, It talks about the slaves that got here from africa, And how they developed the Capoeira, A fighting style that can be "Disguised" As a dance. (If i am remembering it correctly, i watched it a long time ago)
👍
@@GoonyGoogles excellent suggestion cause besouro is the superhero brazilian . besouro its look like black panther to americans .
Besouro baiano
It is interesting that this movie's story happens in the context of our military dictatorship, at the end of it, in the late 70's and during the 80's. So, the favelas and the organized crime were formed during this period. The city of god, the region, was founded by a public program by the government that send poor people away from urbanized area, with no social protection. Like they needed to "sanitize" the urban rich areas from the poor just expelling them. Also, during this period (dictatorship, 1964-1985) brazilians had no political rights (right to vote) and many civil rights were extinct, like habeas corpus. At the same time, we didn't have a legal and formal justice system (because it was suspended) fully funcioning, so both police and common crime were normalized. Crime paid off. And only a few people knew abou it because we had censorship on media. Only people that lived in the favelas at that time knew this was happening.
That was one of the causes of the raise of organized crime and militia in Brazil, but no one talks about it today. This is the same organized crime that lives today all over our contry. On that time, we had this paramilitary police ("death squads") that persecuted the poor and black people, comunists, leftists and university students whith leftist "tendencies" and armed guerrillas. Tortured them, killed them and hide. And with censured media the brazilians from that time didn't knew about those things. Also, the military coup happened because the USA government made pressure on our army. In 1964 the USA army had a maritime military fleet on our coast, in case the coup did not work out.
I am only talking abou this stuff because we need to contextualize historically and socially this movie to fully understand it. This movie is a story about how organized crime raised in our country.
Para os brasileiros que querem entender melhor do que eu estou falando. A ditadura militar gestou o crime organizado.

Montages are incredible on this movie, cool review.
that shit diserve the oscar, that's all
It’s kinda of a shame that the lyrics in English don’t translate well the slurs, names and kinds of the general tone that was in Portuguese, half of the content got lost
thought the same.
This Film is 10/10 Man!!! Wish it’s still on Netflix.
Another great review. keep it coming !
Cara, conheci esse canal agora e me arrependo de não ter conhecido antes.
Muito bom
I really enjoyed your reaction and mostly your comments at the end! I know a lot of people probably told you to react to this movie already but I will ask too because its one of the best brazilian movies. The name is Elite Squad (Tropa de Elite), this movie shows the favela reality from different perspectives (both cops and people that live there), it also represents better the reality of the current times because City of God is showing the favelas of the 60's ~ 80's.
I'm glad that you liked the reaction. I will be reacting to Elite squad very soon.
@@GoonyGoogles Yaaaaaaaay! Thats great news! I will make sure to keep the notifications on 😁😁
@@GoonyGoogles be aware that Elite Squad has a lot of facist undertones, it was very popular in Brazil and fuelled a lot of the far right ideology that would put Bolsonaro in power years later.
@@xeroxparc Lol you don't know what a facist state is if it hits you in the head...Vargas was facist, and no one batches an eye. I don't like Bolsonaro but I'm not that dumb to say stupid things like these.
@@ghost_kinggamer do you even know the meaning of the word "undertones"? I used that word for a reason. Also, I didn't said said Bolsonaro's government is fascist, it sems you understood something completely different from what I actually said.
Que momento Brasil,não precisamos de legendas
One more top-notch content, gratitude Comrade.
@GoonyGoogles The craziest thing is that "Zé Pequeno" and "Mané Galinha" are real people, and the real war in Rio de Janeiro starts in the 70's
bro
your channel is awesome
Good reaction. I recall buying this as a blind buy on DVD when it first came out based on all the great reviews during its limited theater release. Immediately it became one of my all time favorites.
By the way outside of the politicians and tourism businesses, no one is trying to sell Brazil as a racial utopia. I learned about the racial makeup and the history of the slave trade in Brazil about ten years before you did.
it is not an utopia, only way better than USA in this mater
One of my favorite movie. It was Oscar nominated, dont know exactly the year. Hope you read it
really interesting seeing your perspective! cheers from brazil
The best discussion about that movie that I've seen in youtube.
Você está entendendo como o Brasil funciona e infelizmente é assim até nos dias de hoje.
Esse filme é uma obra prima!
Bro ur analysis is so dope!!! Good shit new sub !
Nice and intelligent review mah brother!
I really really liked it
A boca é nossa!,e eles traduzem "the business is ours",se perde muito o conteúdo das nossas gírias
14:45 "you are a Gift (present) for the media." The translation screwed that one.
Muito bom, alguém de fora do país enaltecendo algo criado no Brasil, obrigado pelas análises, são análises pertinentes.
Fun fact: Fernando Meirelles, the director for this movie, also directed Netflix two popes.
City of God slum is 15min away from my home. That shit still stands.
You're a hell of a communicator and an analyst. You would have enjoyed this film even more if you could understand portuguese and Rio's accent in particular.
Muito boa a análise 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
City Of God is considered one of the most appreciated movies in the world as well! So many awards.
