Customer Review: Close to being brilliant!!
"If you die your son will be like us. Fatherless." From a film-makers point of view, this film is a daunting task. It has many characters but still grasps your attention. There are so many very good foreign language films nowadays. I thought Tsotsi was top notch and now, City of Men. I mean, wow! The characters in the film are young men involved in gangs, carefully woven in their anger and paranoid youth is a sense of dread and being doomed. Excellent drama. This is a must watch for anyone who's remotely interested. There will be a scene where you will laugh really really hard. There's a little kid in the film that you'll want to cuddle. You'll never want to live the character's life though. Also ... it actually made me think about something most men don't ever think of. It's about fatherhood. Before I become incoherent, I'll just end by saying, this film is going to do really well and is a must must watch. Thankyou for reading.
Customer Review: EXCELLENT FOLLOW-UP TELEVISION SERIES IN THE SPIRIT OF CITY OF GOD
This series does not follow the exact story or timeline as the movie City Of God but it takes place in Rio de Janeiro in the Favela. I was entertained and pleased with the acting, cinematography, and realness. I almost felt that I was there and I could have been there in my younger years.

Communication plays a vital role in our society. We communicate through words and actions. Contrary to the quote that says, "Action speaks louder than words", it is still hard to know what a person is saying without hearing them talk. But, we all know that there are many languages in the world and that makes it a bit hard for us to communicate to someone who doesn't speak our native tongue. And with that, it is always nice to learn another language for us to be able to communicate well with other people.

Learning a new language isn't always easy. But, being able to master another language is something that would be really helpful. Aside from English, Hindustani and Mandarin, Spanish is the second most-spoken language in the world after Mandarin Chinese. It also has more native speakers than English language does. It is a romance language that originated in Northern Spain. So, how helpful is it to learn Spanish?

Of course, it would be totally helpful if you were into traveling. It would give you less confusion with everything, especially when you feel like striking up a conversation with some people. If your job requires you to speak Spanish like in some call centers you could earn very big money even if you're still a college student. Besides, if you know how to speak Spanish then you'll find it easier to learn other Latin-based languages like French and Italian. How great could that be?

There are different styles of learning, visual, auditory and kinesthetic. It is best to know ones strength to learn more easily. Visually, there are always movies, pictures, magazines and newspapers you can read. And on the Internet, you can listen to podcasts and well, again, the movies and a wide array of songs you can listen to. Kinesthetic learners need to do something physically. While learning a new language, try to do it while doing what you love most, like the sport you like. You can look for the Spanish names or equivalent of the English terms you use in that particular sport.

Spanish is quite easy to learn compared to the other languages. It is somewhat similar to English vocabulary since it has Latin origin. You just have to really like it. Not in the sense that you need money or it's cool because you speak it fluently. But, you should like it because it helps you grow as a person, it helps you in interacting with people, it helps you understand one's culture and most of all, you'll get to know how they learn and how they think.
