City of God (Cidade de Deus). Fernando Meirelles, 2002.
😿😿
Edition screened: Buena Vista DVD, released 2004. Portuguese language with English subtitles. Runtime approximately 130 minutes.
Summary: Chicken slaughter.
Details:
1) The film begins with a montage of Rio de Janeiro street life including quick images of chickens being butchered by street venders. We then focus on one chicken who flees and is chased by a band of heavily armed street thugs who apparently have some honor-based death grudge against this chicken, or perhaps against all of chickendom. The chicken escapes after being almost run over by a car. That is the first four minutes of the movie.
2) These same clips are recapped at the end of the film, 1:52:40-1:53:35.
