Bus Ride to Social Degeneration "Bus 174"

The goose bumps still havent left my bare skin. There are movies that change your perception of life and this is one of them. "BUS 174" is Brazil's nomination for the Oscar, although many critics may not agree. I assure you that the price of life and the consequences of violence are affairs to be delicately reconsidered after you experience José Padilha's latest documentary about a bus which is taken by a young man. You may know this director from "ELITE SQUAD" AKA "TROPA DE ELITE". He holds the passengers hostage untill he decides to take a walk outside! Then... you couldn't expect anything to go down right.

Check out this comentary by imdb.com:
I just saw this movie, and I cannot imagine a more terrifying, sad, and heartbreaking piece of film existing. this movie is simply devastating. I was sobbing within the first 20 minutes. A young man of 19(who looks about 50)hi-jacks a bus and we see the results of an agonizing life play out before our eyes. It is hard to watch, and hard not to deeply care for Sandro. I cannot put into words how heartbreaking and important this movie is. Sandro's life is irrevocably doomed, and we discover there are thousands almost exactly like him, roaming the streets of Rio, desperate and hungry for any kind of social acknowledgement. It should be required viewing for the human race

And check out the trailer for your pleasure.!
