I was very
surprised when I saw \" City of God (\"http://movies.go.com/movies/C/cityofgod_2002/index.html#\") \"
nominne to Oscar! well I discovered later that this could happen because that movie is an American production
(Miramax).
The film is very strong, violent and report in faithful way the sad reality of who lives at
\"Favelas/ghetto\" of Rio.
This film touched me because I liveed in Rio per 2 years..I Know that I am \"Middle
class\" in the social pyramid. But I could see many times all this bads of close. Rio is very very pretty city but
the traffic, narcotics and the social inaquality leaves all horrible and because of that I decided to leave Rio.
I had the chance to see the film with English subtitle. We lose a little with the translations .. some slangs only
can be understood if you to know all the context.

Middle class? In Rio?! HA!
\"Social [and economic] inequality\"
indeed. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif

I know
that is great work, Holmes /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smirk.gif. My surprise was... I thought that
Oscar nominne was for foreign film /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ooo.gif.
Absolutely yes! although Brazil
be a country with enormous social/economic differences. We have people, like me, that not have money to buy a House
in Miame like some brasilians can. But also does not have hunger all day. Exists people who had obtained money to
buy a proper house, car, good job, etc..I call this \"middle class\". When I finished my college of Science of
Computation I was for the Rio. I worked to litter Software Company and in the weekends I helped the community of
Mangueira (Samba School) I gave computer lessons for devoid people because I participate of the Committee for
Democratization of Computer Science (http://www.cdi.org.br/). Every weekend I heard children tell me that
somebody died in a shoot out. What give me anger is to know that the nongovernmental entities make more than the
proper government /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/mad.gif. I decided leave Rio. Government wasted much
money. I know because now working for the government. For example I made a report showing that some contract of
services was very expensive but the company that made this contract was a friend of the governor. I did not get a
big kick in my ass because, currently The Law give me stability in my job. Things as this give nausea to me
/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif. Perhaps therefore I come to leave Brazil.

You

The Return Of The King will probably clean up. Sean Penn
or Bill Murray for Best Actor, though they\'re all good choices. (Would\'ve liked to see William Macy nominated
for The Cooler.)
I hope City wins something. It should for cinematography anyway,
but...
Fernando Meirelles will never beat out Eastwood and Jackson for Best Director, but it\'s cool that he
was nominated!
Other than that, I doubt the show will be as eventful this year--no Michael Moore anywhere in
sight. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif
I\'m also pissed to see that two of my favorites from
last year, Love The Hard Way and Garmento weren\'t nominated for anything.
