I was googling for the latest movie releases. Then I came across a list … of 50 movies which was recommended that I must watch before I die. As I was going through the list, I spotted a familiar movie, City of Gods.
City of Gods is a violent gangster movie, with drugs and sex and the atrractiveness about it was that is is based on a true story. I took the chance to show it to one of my challenging classes. Yes, they were entertained and they were learnt.
They saw poverty and corruption. They saw that violence does not pay, unless one makes the effort to break the vicious cycle. They saw the value of education. At least Rocket lived.
It is a very violent movie … some boys loved it and some of them were squirmish. Nevertheless, it is a good story.
By the way, here is the link to the list of 50 movies … how many of these recommendations have you watched?
