peer agreement (net): +7the way in which the plot was handled Explanation: As you may know, Cidade de Deus is based on a novel. I presume the authors mean to address the way in which the novel was rendered in film—the way the plot (which takes place in a very real context) was given a Tarantinoesque, neo-noir style, perhaps even as a deliberate way of making the film more appealing to international audiences. Stop me if I've gone too far :) -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr (2009-12-28 19:19:45 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- That's sort of what I'm saying. Have a look at the "O Roteiro" section of this article http://www.webcine.com.br/notaspro/npcideus.htm and the following essay: Literatura e Cinema: um olhar sobre Cidade de Deus http://www.darandina.ufjf.br/textos/maio_2009/artigos/artigo... |
