What amazed me the most about this movie was how young some of the killers were, and how ruthless these kids were. In the end of the movie, kids that look like they are barely in their teens kill Li'l Ze in cold blood.
Does anyone know if this is how children are actually like in areas like these?
You should watch the news sometime...
shareI believe that this is an unfortunate reality, and not just in places like this. Although, they are abundantly located in these places.
shareYep, thats kinda common down here. Also, "Lil' Ze" is what you english-speakers call Zé Pequeno? Kinda funny
shareI guy I met from there told me about little kids hanging out in bars with rifles. Never forgot his story.
shareyes, children really are like this in rio de janeiro (i live in brazil, but in the south, which is a lot safer than rio, thank god)
last week the police shoot a 10 year old boy who stole a car with his 11 year old friend, for example
