City of God/YMMV: Difference between revisions

* [[Complete Monster]]: Zé Pequeno. He is easily one of the most evil and despicable examples in modern cinema. His [[Disproportionate Retribution]], for one, because a girl rejected his advances at a party - he forces her boyfriend Mané Galinha (Knockout Ned) to strip naked publicly, then he rapes the girl, then finally surrounds Ned's house with his gang, opening fire and killing Ned's family.

* [[Director Displacement]]: Fernando Meirelles tends to get all of the credit for the film despite the fact he co-directed with Katia Lund.

* [[Moral Event Horizon]]: If you don't hate Lil' Zé when he {{spoiler|massacres an entire whorehouse}} or even when {{spoiler|he gleefully kills Buscapé's brother}}, you'll '''DEFINITELY''' hate him when he deals with the street kids.

** Blacky (Neguinho) begins to cross it when his girlfriend cheats on him, and he beats her to death so brutally that she looks like a car crash victim. He finally crosses it when Bené saves his life from Lil' Zé, and he answers later by {{spoiler|killing Benny.}}
