1. city of god

   "City of God" is a concept used in philosophy, religion, and theology to refer to a utopian place considered as the dwelling place of God or gods and the faithful after death or at the end times; it is symbolic of a state of supreme and ultimate justice, peace, and prosperity. It is also often used as a metaphorical expression to symbolize divine love and perpetual fellowship with God. The term is most famously used in Christian doctrine, as the title of a book by Saint Augustine, "The City of God," outlining the relationship between the earthly city, characterized by sinful humans, and the city of God, populated by devoted Christians and divine entities.

1. City of God

   City of God is a 2002 Brazilian crime drama film directed by Fernando Meirelles and co-directed by Kátia Lund, released in its home country in 2002 and worldwide in 2003. The story was adapted by Bráulio Mantovani from the 1997 novel of the same name written by Paulo Lins, but the plot is loosely based on real events. It depicts the growth of organized crime in the Cidade de Deus suburb of Rio de Janeiro, between the end of the 1960s and the beginning of the 1980s, with the closure of the film depicting the war between the drug dealer Li'l Zé and criminal Knockout Ned. The tagline is "If you run, the beast catches; if you stay, the beast eats",. The cast includes Alexandre Rodrigues, Leandro Firmino da Hora, Jonathan Haagensen, Douglas Silva, Alice Braga and Seu Jorge. Most of the actors were, in fact, residents of favelas such as Vidigal and the Cidade de Deus itself. The film received four Academy Award nominations in 2004: Best Cinematography, Best Directing, Best Editing and Best Writing. Before that, in 2003 it had been chosen to be Brazil's runner for the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film, but it was not nominated to be one of the five finalists. If it were nominated, it would have been ineligible the next year for any other category.
