City Of God, 2002. Starring Alexandre Rodrigues, Leandro Firmino, Phellipe Haagensen, Matheus Nachtergaele, Seu Jorge. (Director: Katia Lund, Fernando Meirelles)
———————————————————————
Plot: Buscapé (Rodrigues) is frightened he’ll end up like the countless others around him — troubled, violent or dead. But his saving grace is his photographer’s eye, through which the stories of several people who live in his forsaken Cidade de Deus unfold. Fernando Meirelles and Kátia Lund direct this sobering look at life inside a Rio de Janeiro housing project, reputed to be one of the most dangerous parts of an otherwise magical city.
Dear Future Me,
First off, you better be driving either a kick ass camero or the A-team van. That’s priority numero uno. And by now your rattail should hang down to your frickin knees. You can still slam dunk, obviously, and you’ve legally changed your name to Vanilla Thunder. Your wife, let me break it down, blonde, 6 feet tall, has an awesome rack and caters to your every need.
You’re still rockin’ the stonewash overalls because this look is working. Oh, and most importantly, you better be saving the world. If you became some lame, corporate sell out, just throw yourself off a cliff because you suck. And I icky boom-boom down.

The world’s best surfers are waiting for a once-in-a-generation wave here along the North Shore of Oahu, after dozens of them plunged into the churning waters on Monday, dodging rocks, reefs, and driftwood in waves rarely seen even in surf paradises like Hawaii — but still shy of the big one.
