and join gangs and go out to fight. You see very bad and unclean houses; no one really cared about the slum areas. Especially the government in Brazil (back then). I also like how they actually used the actual “City of God’’‚ which is a slum area in Rio de Janero. The film makers did a very good job with casting too‚ before I watched the film I read that the actors themselves were actually born in favelas and they knew how the lifestyle is. That means that they could act out their characters easily

City Of God The film that I chose to watch and analyze is the Brazilian film City of God. The movie takes place in one of Rio de Janeiro’s 500 favelas‚ a favela known as the City of God. The name of the city is disturbingly ironic‚ as most of the activities that take place in the slum are decidedly ungodly. The movie‚ spanning three decades‚ chronicles the lives of some of the residents‚ most adolescent‚ from their pre-pubescent years to their upbringing into the criminal underworld. This movie

The movie also adds to the soccer stereotype as Fernando‚ the orphan boy who originally store Blu and Jewel‚ wears a Pele jersey throughout the entire film. There is also a sequence in the film that shows an overview of a favela‚ and all of its inhabitants are fully engrossed in a soccer game. Rio continues to prove the author’s argument

Nancy Scheper-Hughes conducted her anthropological research in Alto do Cruzeiro‚ Bom Jesus‚ a shantytown located in the poorest region of Brazil. Poor economic standing‚ lack of familial support and desperate working conditions in this community have contributed to the normalization of infant death and selective motherhood. Alto do Cruziero suffers economically in the aftermath of a deleterious military coup in 1965. This Northeast region of Brazil represents the Third World while other areas of
