city of god; why was it a success
Reasons for City of Gods success:
The film exposed the negative and more disturbing side to Brazil and Rio's slums. The largest and most influential companies and directors in Brazil at the time portrayed the country as all luxurious and exotic in order to attract as many tourists as possible for economic benefit. Many westerners would have been shocked and engaged by the City of God due to its more realistic approach to the country and would be interested in being shown this.
City of God also used many aspects of western film in their own production, which made the film familiar to western audiences. what made it stand out from many other western crime/gang films however, was the fact that this familiar filming type was being used in a foreign country, in a setting that was unknown to audiences across the globe.
