Another video tht I watched 3 times total, saw new things each time, truly fascinating,again loved the music too, as much of an editor as you are you are one cool elector of music, loth to use the word DJ, as I think you have more talent than a DJ , (look out Dave, I have asked for it lol)

[billysscreeningroom2]

@beachfrontal LOL! Well, thank you very much. I'm very pleased you like my style. I do kind of think of these films as being a DJ; I put a lot of thought into the musical choices. Sometimes they work, sometimes not, but I always try to make them flow and meld. Thanks again VERY MUCH!

@IMTheMagicRat Thanks!

[mtzomauricio]

Low cust... Here in Brazil have a TVchannel the name Rede Globo making films better than it. And i knew the Rio de Janeiro, are beautiful the beaches like Copacabana, Ipanema... So, if some day have you oportunity to visit the beaches here in Brazil prefer Bahia too. THE BEST WOMEN HAD YOU SAW IN YOUR LIFE... A Big Hug! S.Y.

A great way to start this video; you get hooked right into it. The song was perfect.

I've never seen this movie before, yet it looks like it's well worth a viewing. There is so much that we take for granted. Looking forward to your next one, Rick.

[eutuve]

City of God ??

We live already in a :

" Word of God " !!

France is preparing "laws" to impose a curfew from 11 p.m. to 6 A.M. for youngsters under 13... !!

This movie is a "documentary" work on what is ahead ( ? ) ...

It should be shown free in every movie theater...and school rooms...

thanks , Billy !!

[brooksfostercare1]

All I can really say is that this video is excellently put together, but it bought tears to my eyes and deep pain in my heart. What are we doing to each other? does life have no meaning at all anymore that we can so easily destroy the life of others around us. We need to practice LOVE not Hate.

Jackie

[billysscreeningroom2]

EXCELLENT REPLY! THANK YOU!!!!

[brikkostello]

bellissimo lavoro ....very beautiful all!!:))*****

[TheReptilianAgenda]

This biography is a great flick

[chmurka1100]

Super song ..

Interesting work

Congratulates !!!!! 5 *****

[42Teo]

I find Fernando Meirelles job very impressive in this movie and all the world aclaims him for it. However, I think that he became even better, and what I could call a perfect director, in the Constant Gardener.

[Brazilady]

Another great film of Fernando, 42Teo

[bigeeezy]

outstanding

[27121957]

Rick -

Its always a Great pleasure watching your Videos

Superb Quality Sound and Vision...Mixed & edited

to perfection.....

excellent posting and moving truth about Rio's slum's..

5 Stars***** & faved.

Regards Glenn.

[billysscreeningroom2]

@27121957 Thank you very much!!

[TheBigValley]

Beautiful work my friend! I do not know the movie, but I thank you for having uploaded. In fact, Rio de Janeiro is a beautiful city, but like all cities conceals what we do not see and maybe forget. Poverty, violence, death. The guys in this film are extraordinary. Real actors. Excellent choice of House of Child! Stunning pictures of guys playing! Bravo!

5 and added!

[billysscreeningroom2]

Thank you!

[milliondollarredhead]

Your work continues to be outstanding! This was a pleasure! xxoo Red

[billysscreeningroom2]

Thanks, Red!

[EVELYNEMIL]

Absolutely exceptional job by Fernando Mirelles. Thanks for all your films presentation.

[AFVABMDES]

City of God is a brilliant film director Fernando Meirelles, it's regrettable that this story runs the understanding of an average American and Hollywood still has prejudices against the Brazilian cinema. liked your video Rick but prefer the original sound.

[billysscreeningroom2]

That's cool. Thanks.

[Brazilady]

Actually, AFV...

Americans and Hollywood prejudce any

film that is not English spoken...

[AFVABMDES]

Renata is true, unfortunately most Americans and Hollywood can not appreciate good films in other languages. is because they only look at his own navel! Antonio Fernando

[Brazilady]

yep, AFV....but with Internet, Youtube and all that stuff, I guess this is changing a bit.

At least, now, my country is not called "the rest of the world"anymore.

lol

[billysscreeningroom2]

@Brazilady Dear Brazilady,

I took my description from the DVD box. I mean no insult to Brazil, of course. This is a film about a small part of one city, as you know.

[Brazilady]

Billy

I am so aware of the goods and bads of Brazil....don't worry.

Sure I know you mean no insult, dear.

And this is reality.

[tps607]

depressing waste....

[Brazilady]

depressing reality, Mr Simanek

lol

[tps607]

@Brazilady there is too much of that in this world....

[Brazilady]

It's true.

I know.

But I will tell you what really is a "depressing waste ".

When this film was nominated for the Oscar , it was criticized by Americans for its excess of violence.

Ok...I agree....it's a heavy film.

Now tell me about the mindless violence in so many Hollywood films like, for instance, the "Saw" series.

[tps607]

@Brazilady what can I say....they just don't like to admit their excesses in some things

[Brazilady]

But it's not your fault, tps!

lol

[tps607]

@Brazilady ...oh

[AHS3X7]

Oh, my God. I love it. Keep 'em coming 5*****

[arq654]

[RockyWhyNot]

I have never seen this film nor heard this song 'til now...Now, I'm more than curious..

This is oneof te finest video on YouTube, in my opinion.

~Tammi~

[billysscreeningroom2]

Made my day, kiddo. Thanks.

[johnnywolfnyc]

You've taken Excellence and made it better. And I love Toni Childs.. A gripping video homage, Rick.

[billysscreeningroom2]

Toni Childs should be HUGE! One of the finest singers of the last twenty years! Thanks, Johnny.

[vicepresidentfru1tly]

I was really excited to see this one in my subscription box, seeing as I worship this film! Man, you did not disappoint. Gritty, but soulful. Great job!

[billysscreeningroom2]

Thanks, Tom! The sequel, "City of Men" is due this year and I await it with more anticipation than probably any other film I can think of in years! Thanks again.

[Brazilady]

billy

City of Man became a TV series here in Brazil.

There was a film for it too but I missed it.

[CookieJar1957]

Excellent. This is so gritty and beautifully photographed. You can feel the desperation, the hopelessness come through so forcefully. Your choice of music is perfect. Very moving.

5***** and faved.

Rey

[billysscreeningroom2]

Thank you, Rey!

[ZABRISKIEPOINTER]
