In the distant future, the Internet has become an indispensable part of people's lives. The interaction between virtual networks and the real world has gradually integrated. Especially with the emergence of various social networks such as Facebook, Twitter, and **, the influence of independent individuals on reality has been increasing. Barack Obama has also become the first president in history to win the election by flexibly using social networks.

However, in 2003, the rise of the Internet was still in the early stage of development, and even the use of blogs was far from reaching its peak. This made the activities launched by Javier's blog unique and immediately attracted the attention of all netizens - for the first time, people realized that they could also express their opinions like professional film critics, win attention and gain recognition, which is tantamount to the general audience who have been passively receiving information.

As a result, the entire network broke out because of the "City of God". Javier carefully selected netizens' comments every day, posting two to three articles every day, and continued the entire interactive publicity in a grand manner.

Sarah from Chicago said, "On a boring and depressed night, I was pulled into the theater by my friends and wanted to find a movie to pass the time, we randomly chose the 'City of God'. It must be admitted that I am very happy that we made this choice because when the movie started, I completely ignored my friends all night and was completely shocked by the movie!

I think this is an excellent movie, powerful, moving, original, real, and even interesting in some parts. When the movie ends, I leave with a smile, which is a rare great movie, especially as the war is getting louder and stronger, the movie can give us some inspiration - the end of the movie has no conflicts and drama, just a piece of life, but it triggers thoughts that I can't calm down for a long time.

I will give you a full score of 10. If you have the chance, please be sure to watch it."

A netizen whose user account in Minneapolis is Hell Clown commented, "There is no doubt that 'City of God' is an excellent work. We have seen countless praises from the news media in the past period of time. In my opinion, these praises are still not enough to express the excellence and excellence of this film.

The stories and characters adapted from real stories give the whole movie a fantasy color, the colorful color exclusively to Rio de Janeiro, but is hidden under the shadow of the brilliant sunshine in Brazil. It is a region where average life is shorter than thirty years old, and drug dealers are God.

There is no absolute protagonist in the movie, the City of God is, but every character living in this City of God is so real, so wonderful, so extreme, so distinctive, and even more rare is that a group of young and strange actors have given these characters a vivid vitality.

The director's way of telling the movie is very sophisticated, full of personal style, and also funny, and most importantly, a bloody shock. When watching the movie, he always thinks of Quentin Tarantino, some clever time jumps, still moments, and some wise and playful film details, which remind people of "pulp novels" or "good guys", but it is also full of the director's unique style and taste.

Overall, ‘City of God’ is a rare masterpiece that is worth recommending to everyone. Full marks, 10!”

A netizen Katie Cat from New Jersey gave a seven-point evaluation, "This movie describes violence calmly but it penetrates into the bones. It seems that there is no bloody scene, but it leaves a deep impression on people. But unfortunately, the whole movie lacks the growth of characters and the injection of emotions, as if all characters are wandering outside the movie, making the movie lack a real soul - perhaps this is the director's purpose, emphasizing the impact of violence on this city.

After watching the movie to a certain stage, I began to ignore the description of emotions, because there were several powerful scenes in the movie that made me feel powerless and angry, and even emotions were out of control, but this made me feel even more ashamed - because if the movie gave more emotions, the movie would be more influential and better."

Dallas netizen Sux roared, "Great! Great! Great! This is definitely the best work in Hollywood in the past three years. None of them, the whole movie is roaring with real cruelty, giving me a profound lesson. This is perhaps the most violent and coldest movie ever, and it is also the most wonderful and moving movie ever."

Henry, a netizen in Salt Lake City, gave a bad review of zero. "I can't understand this movie at all, and I can't even watch it. I start to feel bored and almost want to sleep. Except for the most important characters, the other characters have no meaning of existence, and I can't even recognize who is who. The random short films inserted in the movie ruin the entire rhythm, distracting, and I have no way to invest. What's worse, I feel that I'm violated by the violence in the movie. Those violent scenes are completely inappropriate, let alone it discredits Brazil's image in a disgusting way. It's such a terrible movie, and I feel ashamed of watching this movie."

Bill, a netizen in New York, scored three points. Although he did not fall to the bottom of zero points, his detailed comments became a typical representative of negative comments.

"I don't care if this is a movie based on a real story, it's the most time-consuming, ruthless, and despicable work I've ever seen. As a foreign language film, maybe it can barely beat the seriously overrated 'Angel Love Beauty' and 'Say to her', just because of its sharp editing style. And the comments that compare this movie to the "good guy" are disgusting.

This movie has no personality, no humanity, or even a little sympathy. During the two-hour and ten-minute viewing process, we just saw cruel and ruthless killings, over and over again, as if in Brazil there was nothing left except killings. Although this was terrible, for a movie, it needed more cores. What is the purpose of this movie?

Where is the real human nature of the movie? Believe it or not, even a serial killer seems more warm than this movie. Female characters are almost ignored in this movie, and the character's personality is completely erased. We cannot even find a complete character, just like a horror movie that is not scary at all, bloody and boring, empty and exhausted.

For those who keep praising the movie, I just want to say that you can try renting videos to watch, then keep pressing pauses to calculate how long the longest shot of the movie without dead people? I believe it will never exceed four minutes. ‘City of God’ does not explain why the crime rate in Brazil is high, nor why that slum is so desperate.

If you want to watch a two-hour and ten-minute music video, then there is no problem; but if you think of it as a movie, it is an insult to the movie. Seriously.”

Javier's blog updates netizens' comments almost every day, but compared to netizens' movie reviews, the debate under these movie reviews is the real exciting part. From this point on, we can see the characteristics of social networks in the future: people hide behind computers, just like wearing a mask, and can be the real selves in the online world without reservation, and vent all negative emotions with ease.

Perhaps, these netizens’ views are not professional enough, and they are even laymen who don’t know much about movies, but it is undeniable that they are part of the film market themselves, and their opinions have no effect on "City of God", but they can arouse opinions from other netizens or oppose them, and then further heat up the discussion.

In just one week, Javier published seventeen comments from netizens, including ten praises, four criticisms, and three neutrals. But interestingly, these seventeen comments from netizens have made nearly 900,000 views for Javier's blog, Alai, which is also the highest since Javier's blog. What's even more exaggerated is that the seventeen comments triggered more than 30,000 comments to discuss - although many of them are repeated discussions from the same users, they can still be called horrifying.

This caused a shock to the entire communication and journalism industry!

Chloe Moore (chole-toore) is one of them. For the first time in her life, she discovered that the Internet is such an interesting thing.

On the Internet, all kinds of thoughts, speeches and opinions will emerge from all over the world. Some are ridiculous, some are thought-provoking, and some are awakening to resonance... It seems that this is a platform where everyone can speak fairly, and can connect the entire world just in front of a computer.

Almost every day, Chloe logs on Javier's blog, browse today's updates, yesterday's message replies, and then joins the discussion. This makes Chloe enjoy it, and stays in front of the computer every day longer and longer. Until one day, watching thousands of people join the discussion and express their thoughts, Chloe suddenly has an idea, "Why don't I write a comment?"

Chloe does it as soon as he says.

Sitting in front of the computer, Chloe thought it would be very difficult. As a student in the film department of Columbia University, she is good at film rather than writing. She almost got faked in the screenwriter class last semester. But when she really put her hands on the keyboard, the thoughts in her mind were like a fountain. This feeling was very strange, but it was also very wonderful.

For the first time, Chloe realized that she was trying to share her thoughts with the world, and it felt… subtle.
