In the distant future, the Internet has become an indispensable part of people's lives, and the interaction between the virtual network and the real world has gradually become one, especially with the emergence of various social networks such as Facebook, Twitter, and **, the influence of the online world composed of independent individuals on reality is rising. Barack-Obama also became the first president in history to use social networks to win a campaign.

But in 2003, the rise of the Internet was still in the early stages of development, and even the use of blogs was far from its peak. This made the campaign of the Havel blog stand out from the crowd and immediately caught the attention of all netizens - for the first time, people realized that they could express their opinions like professional film critics, and win attention and recognition, which was nothing less than a shock to the general audience who had been passively receiving information.

As a result, the entire network exploded because of the "City of God", and Javier carefully selected the comments of netizens every day, posting two to three articles a day, and carried out the entire interactive propaganda in a mighty way.

Sarah, from Chicago, said, "On a boring and depressing evening, while passing by a landmark theater, I was pulled into the theater by my friends to find a random movie to pass the time, and we randomly chose 'City of God'. I have to admit that I'm glad we made this choice because when the movie started, I completely ignored my friends for the whole night and was completely blown away by the movie!

I think it's an excellent film, powerful, moving, raw, real, and even funny in some parts. When the film ended, I left with a smile on my face, and it was a rare great film, especially in the context of the recent war calls, and the film could give us some inspiration - the end of the movie was devoid of any conflict or drama, just a fragment of life, but it provoked a reflection that I could not calm down for a long time.

10 out of 10, I give 10. If you have the chance, be sure to watch it. ”

A Minneapolis user with the account Hellclown commented, "Needless to say, 'City of God' is an excellent work, and we have seen countless positive reviews about this work from the news media in the past few years, and in my opinion, these praises are still not enough to express the wonder and excellence of the film.

The story and characters based on the true story give the whole film a fantastical color, the kind of colorful colors that are exclusive to Rio de Janeiro, but hidden in the shadow of the bright sunshine of Brazil, a region where the average life expectancy is shorter than thirty years old and the drug/trafficker is God.

There is no absolute protagonist in the movie, the City of God is, but every character living in this City of God is so real, so exciting, so extreme, so distinct, and what is even more rare is that a group of young and unfamiliar actors have given these characters fresh vitality.

The director's approach to telling the film is sophisticated, full of personal style, but also humorous and, most importantly, bloody. When watching a movie, you always think of Quentin Tarantino, some clever time jumps, still moments, and some wise and playful details of the film, reminiscent of 'pulp fiction' or 'good guys', but full of the director's unique style and taste.

Overall, 'City of God' is a rare masterpiece that should be recommended to everyone. Full score, 10 points! ”

New Jersey netizen Hello Hello gave a seven-point evaluation, "The film's depiction of violence is quiet but deep in the bone marrow, as if it didn't see any bloody pictures, but it left a deep impression." But unfortunately, the whole film lacks the growth of the characters and the injection of emotion, as if all the characters are outside the film, so that the film lacks a real soul - perhaps this is the director's purpose, emphasizing the impact of violence on the city.

After a certain stage of watching the movie, I began to care less about the depiction of those emotions, because there were several powerful scenes in the movie that made me feel powerless and angry, and even the love was out of control, but it made me feel even more ashamed - because if the film gave more emotion, the film would be more influential and better. ”

Dallas netizen Sux screamed and roared, "Great! Club! Club! It's definitely the best Hollywood work of the last three years, and there isn't one, and the whole movie roars about real cruelty, and it taught me a profound lesson. This is perhaps the most violent and ruthless movie of all time, and at the same time the most wonderful and moving movie of all time. ”

Henry, a netizen in Salt Lake City, gave a terrible review of zero, "I couldn't understand this movie at all, and I couldn't even watch it, and I started to feel bored and almost wanted to sleep." Except for the most important ones, the other characters don't have any meaning at all, and I can't even recognize who is who. And the random insertion of short clips in the movie ruined the whole rhythm and was distracting, and I couldn't get into it at all. To make matters worse, I felt violated by the violence in the film, which was completely inappropriate, not to mention that it tarnished the image of Brazil in a disgusting way. It's such a terrible movie, and I'm ashamed to see it. ”

New York-based netizen Bill has a rating of three points, and although it does not fall to the bottom of zero, his detailed comments have become a typical representative of negative comments.

"I don't care if it's a movie based on a true story, it's the most time-wasting, heartless, despicable film I've ever seen. As a foreign-language film, perhaps it can barely beat the over-praised 'Angel Amelie' and 'Say to Her', just because of its sharp editing style. And the reviews that compared the film to 'Goodfellas' are disgusting.

The film has no personality, no humanity, not even the slightest sympathy, and over the course of two hours and ten minutes of viewing, we just see the brutal and merciless killings, over and over again, as if there is nothing left but killing in Brazil. While it's scary, it needs more kernel for a movie. What is the purpose of the film?

Where is the real humanity of the movie? Believe it or not, even a serial killer is more tender than this movie. The female characters are almost ignored in this film, and the personality of the characters is completely erased, and we can't even find a complete character, as if it were a horror movie that is not scary at all, bloody and boring, empty and weak.

For those of you who keep praising the film, I just want to say that you can try renting a tape to watch it and then keep pressing pause and calculate how long the longest shot in the movie is without dead people? I'm sure it won't be more than four minutes. The 'City of God' doesn't explain why Brazil's crime rate remains high, or why that ghetto is so hopeless.

If you want to watch a two-hour and ten-minute music video, then there's no problem; But if you think of it as a movie, it's an insult to the movie. Seriously. ”

Javier's blog updates comments from netizens almost every day, but the debates under these reviews are the real part of the excitement compared to the reviews of netizens. From this point, we can see the characteristics of social networks in the future: people hide behind their computers, as if they put on a mask, and they can be their true selves unscrupulously in the online world, and vent all negative feelings without reservation.

Perhaps, the views of these netizens are not professional enough, and even laymen who do not know much about movies, but it is undeniable that they themselves are a part of the film market, and their opinions have no effect on the "City of God", but they can arouse the opinions of other netizens for or against, and then further heat up the discussion.

In just one week, Havel published 17 netizen comments, of which 10 were praise, 4 were criticism, and 3 were neutral. But interestingly, these 17 opinions from netizens have received nearly 900,000 views for Javier's blog, which is also a new high since Javier started his blog; To add insult to injury, the seventeen comments sparked more than 30,000 comments – many of which were repeated by the same users, but still appalling.

This caused a shock in the entire communication and journalism academic circles!

One of them is Chole-Moore, who, for the first time in her life, discovered that the Internet is such a fun thing.

On the Internet, a wide variety of thoughts, speeches, and opinions from all over the world will emerge, some of which are ridiculous, some are thought-provoking, and some are awakening and resonant...... It's as if this is a platform where everyone can speak fairly, and the whole world can be connected just in front of a computer.

Almost every day, Chloe logs on to Javier's blog, browses today's updates, and replies to yesterday's comments before joining the discussion. This kept Chloe entertained, and she spent more and more time in front of the computer every day. Until one day, watching thousands of people join the discussion and express their thoughts, Chloe suddenly had an idea, "Why don't I write a review?" ”

Chloe said she would do it.

Sitting in front of her computer, Chloe had expected this to be difficult, as a film student at Columbia University, she was good at film, not writing — she was on the verge of being hired in a screenwriting class last semester. But when you actually put your hands on the keyboard, the thoughts in your head are like a spring, which is very strange, but also very wonderful.

For the first time, Chloe realizes that she is trying to share her ideas with the world...... It's subtle.
