Cidade de Deus

Tonight, as I watched Cidade de Deus, I was thinking, “I’m going to have to watch Scarface again so I can remember why that’s considered a better movie than this.” As I was checking imdb.com to post this, I discovered that City of God rates 8.7 at IMDB while Scarface rates only 7.8!

What does Cidada de Deus have over Scarface, which is considered a modern classic? Quite a lot, actually - richer characters, better camera work, and, most importantly, a message of hope in the fate of Rocket.
