City of god ethnicity
The document discusses ethnicity and characters in the film City of God. It notes that all the white characters live outside the impoverished Favelas neighborhoods, which are majority black, indicating Rio de Janeiro's society pushes black people to the edges. Within the Favelas, people respect each other's roles rather than ethnicity. The character Tiago is middle-class and educated, giving him respect, while Lil Ze is the most powerful and feared member. Brazil's history involved colonization, slavery, and immigration leading to today's multi-ethnic communities.
City of god age represention
The document discusses representations of youth and coming of age in the film City of God. It notes that characters experience adulthood at a younger age in the violent setting of the city. Several key scenes show children acclimating to life in the city, such as one character losing his innocence the first time he shoots a gun, and others playing with guns as if they were toys. Over time, children shift from playing football to playing with firearms as violence defines their world.
Age in city of god
Steak 'n' Fries loses his innocence after witnessing a shooting. In the first scene, he is framed in a way that makes him feel trapped and threatened. He is seen in a split screen and pushed to the side, captured and told that if he is not allied with the character, then he is dead. The document also discusses how youth in the city are exposed to violence and influenced by the wars between gangs. Younger children are given no second chances while older ones may receive one. Youth also turn on each other quickly and participate in the gang wars for various reasons like protecting their families or gaining respect.
Film sequence
This document discusses the editing techniques used in the beginning of a film. It analyzes a series of close-up shots of a knife, hand, and stone instead of an establishing shot. It then cuts to black before another shot illuminates the character Rocket with his camera and zooms out from a network of bars. The fast-paced editing is described as giving spectacular circling shots that morph Rocket into his younger self in scenes of low rise shacks and open spaces.
Representation of women
This document analyzes the representation of women in the film City of God. It notes that several female characters, including Shorty's wife, Dona Zelia, Blacky's girlfriend, and Ned's girlfriend, are victims of male violence through attacks, murder, and rape. While Berenice and Angelica reject violence, they disappear from the narrative after their significant others die, implying women do not matter. Marina's role is to facilitate Rocket's entry into manhood. Overall, the narrative and lack of ongoing presence or significance of female characters seems to suggest that women are not important in this violent world dominated by machismo culture where guns are a source of power and violence is normalized.
Rocket as a narrator
This document provides an analysis of the film City of God. It discusses the deaths of characters Bene, Shaggy, and Lil Ze. It questions the backgrounds and representations of the main characters. It considers whether the film effectively shows how environment shapes individuals. It examines Rocket's role as an observer who records the violence with his camera. Rocket is presented as both a neutral observer and as based on the real-life photographer Wilson Rodrigues. His camera work reveals the truth of the violent slums while the film uses stylized techniques.
City of god 2
City of God is a film about organized crime in the favelas of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. It depicts the rise of gangs and violence in the favelas over time through the stories of various characters. The film uses cinematic techniques rather than a strictly realistic style to tell its story. This led to debates about whether such films have a responsibility to directly address social issues and solutions or can use aesthetic style primarily for entertainment. Some argue City of God effectively delivers messages through its realistic portrayal of conditions in the favelas, while others believe it glorifies violence without offering solutions.

Lock stock presentation
This document discusses the 1998 crime comedy film Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels. It analyzes a scene that perfectly captures the film's genres of comedy, action, and crime through its use of cockney slang and subtitles, as well as visuals showing violence. The document also outlines the various conflicts that arise between the different groups of characters. It notes that the most suspenseful scene occurs late in the film, as tension builds during a shootout at a house when an unexpected antagonist arrives instead of the expected protagonist.
Bullet boy
Ricky is an ex-convict who is released from prison and wants to leave his life of crime behind. However, his friend Wisdom pressures him to get involved in criminal activities again. Wisdom uses guilt and past loyalty to manipulate Ricky into participating in dangerous situations. The police have little presence in Ricky's neighborhood, allowing crime to go unchecked. As Ricky gets drawn back into criminal plans, his family, especially his mother and younger brother, become victims of the consequences of his bad decisions and lifestyle.
Bullet boy slide
The document provides information about the genre, narrative, characters, and setting of the film Bullet Boy. It describes the genre as social realism, which depicts realistic stories and situations from ordinary British people's lives. The narrative follows Ricky's bad decision making that leads to increased conflicts with his family and others. It also creates suspenseful moments. The film is set on a council estate in Hackney, London, representing poverty and how the environment can influence youth into crime. It represents an all-African English cast dealing with crime, family relationships, and violence in their community.

Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
