where do you live in brazil, if i may ask.
I don't know what's so awesome about it. It's a place like any other.
I did see that movie, I enjoyed it very much, I like that kind of gangster-movie, altought I must say the reallity is not that brutal and violent, and the real people involved were not so young as the actors cast. It was supposed to be set during the 70s and 80s, and they speaked like it was 2001 (something non-brazillian viewers would not notice). My favorite brazillian movie is "Boleiros", which narrates 5 or 6 short stories about soccer. Unfortunally it's completly untranslatable, and audiences outised Brazil would never get the jokes.
I live in São Paulo, it's probably 3rd or 4th biggest city in the world, I think it loses to Tokyo, Mexico City and NY. It's about 480km away from Rio de Janeiro.
