    Laura Schneider Sociology 1 The City of God After watching “The City of God”‚ I personally can see the correlation that crime plays in association with poverty‚ social influence‚ and lack of law and order. Though my perspective vastly varies from that of sociological theorists‚ I think we can both conclude that this movie is an extreme representation as to what can occur when society shuns away disadvantaged youths to a place that lacks justice as well as ethical and moral responsibilities.

    City of God: Editing and Mise-en-scene The first scene in City of God starts with an extreme close-up of someone sharpening a knife on a black rock. The camera “flickers” or cuts back and forth from a black screen to the knife repeatedly. This makes it hard to see the knife but easier to hear the diegetic sound of the blade running across the rock. At this point (30 seconds into the film) the audience does not know why the blade is being sharpened. As the scene develops further‚ cross-cutting and
