This film had such a stronghold on people in my block growing up. Bené was like my idol lol, everybody wanted to be cool just like him. A true masterpiece about crime, poverty & the hard life in the Brazilian favelas, which makes it all the more heartbreaking when you know a significant part of the cast weren't paid what they deserved & are still struggling in those same streets. Easily one of my favorite films.

Apollonia's death is probably the demise of a film character that got me the most fucked up. Till this day. And he just moved back to his white bitch, like what???


1. Inde Navarrette is gonna blow up, she's really good. 2. I'm sorry, but I couldn't take Bear seriously because he reminded me of someone... #countingornotcountinggangviolence? 3. *'Freaky Nikki' *Uhhh?! That mf DISGUSTED me bruh
