ROMERO WILL PERFORM BEETHOVEN SONATA CYCLES TONIGHT
Gustavo Romero, a Grammy-
nominated musician and member of
the NT College of Music faculty, will
continue his Beethoven piano
sonata series at 8 p.m. today in the
Concert Hall of the Music Building.
This concert is the last in a series
of seven concerts covering all 32 of
Beethoven's piano sonatas. The
concert series is in commemoration
of the 175th anniversary of
Beethoven's death on March 26.
The first six concerts in the series
were performed last semester.
Tonight's performance will
include Opus 49, Opus 10, Opus 11
and Opus 31.
"My favorite composer is Mozart,
but I am concentrating on
Beethoven right now because of the
anniversary," Romero said.
He will bring the music of his
favorite composer to NT next fall
when he begins his Mozart series.
Romero was nominated for a
Grammy in 1996 for his recording of
the complete Chopin Impromptus,

FRIDAY
—[ Film Review ]—
City of God a violent,
beautifully real Rio
Jill Michaelree
Film Critic
As a society that flirts with
war as casually as an intern in a
beret, we hesitate to internalize
the realities of violence. Jaded
by our affluence, power and
greed, the notion of a battle
zone on American soil is as ludi-
crous as the concept of a Mariah
Carey movie.
We have watched the con-
flicts and destruction of
Ireland, Iraq and Somalia from
the comforts of our La-Z-Boys,
desensitized and disillusioned
by the media.
This was not the case for the
inhabitants of Rio de Janeiro
where adolescent gangs ruled
the streets and 9-year-olds were
forced to execute their friends
to prove manhood. Nothing is
sacred in the City o f God.
This new Brazilian film is set
during the height of the vio-
lence in the 1970s when child-
hood killer turned drug traffick-
er, Little Te\ dominated the
city and kept its residents in
fear with his constantly steam-
ing gun. Rocket, an aspiring
photographer, strives to live the
legit life to escape the "city"
and triumph over his brother's
murderer (L'il Te) by merely
succeeding outside of the
favela.
Like recent Latin cinematic
hits Amorres Perros and Y Tu
Mama También, City of God dis-
plays hardship effectively
through impeccable acting and
Memento-like non-linear direc-
tion, keeping the audience alert
and intrigued.
To capture authenticity,
director Fernando Meirelles
chose to use more than 100
inexperienced actors from Rio
de Janeiro. Working with the
cast of mulatto and black
Brazillians for nearly six months
prior to production, Meirelles
formed a strong cast of stunning
performers.
Standouts include Leandro
Firmino da Floya and
Alexandre Rodrigues (L'il Te
and Rocket, respectively). Da
Floya's sheer animal magnetism
and Rodrigues' poetic sensibili-
ties in acting should help these
newly aspiring actors to break
out of the City of God them-
selves.
Overall, City of God was vio-
lently beautiful and shockingly
effective, even for a jaded, fat
American audience. Perhaps
with more messages like City of
God's disturbingly ambrosial
realities of violence, peace-
keepers and warmongers alike
may be more inclined to come

to terms with their differences.

Friday at the Angelika Film
Center in Dallas.
Final Say: A Cinematic God-
Send.
Real World a real let down
Michael Walter
Staff Writer
Before Joe Millionaire, before
American Idol., even before
Survivor, there was MTV's The
Real World.
You know the premise by
now: seven random strangers
selected from thousands of
hopefuls are forced to live
together and given a generic
goal (e.g. running a radio sta-
tion) to complete as MTV's
cameras catch every second of
the action.
Of course, the strangers
aren't exactly "random," unless
you consider young adults cho-
sen only by virtue of their sheer
beauty and social issues a ran-
dom choice.
In The Real World in Las
Vegas, the series' latest install-
ment, the cast is thrown into
the heart of the city. They
work at a club and are given the
responsibility of putting
together lavish parties.
Now, call me crazy, but why
can't their job at least be some-
thing like putting together a
recreation center or helping the
homeless? I know those scenar-
ios wouldn't exactly be ratings-
friendly, but MTV should be
able to come up with some-
thing that at least helps out the
community rather than getting
the cast to blow paychecks and
get sloppy drunk.
As the show progressed, I
found myself actually missing
the good old days when The
Real World was interesting - a
notion I honestly never thought
would cross my mind.
I miss watching Puck shoot
snot-rockets into the house's
peanut-butter stash with that
trademark smirk never leaving
his face. I miss watching Jon
serenade the other cast mem-
bers, cowboy hat firmly in place
at the top of his blond mane. I
miss watching Christian and
Timmy sing foreign drinking
songs — wait, now I'm think-
ing of Road Rules.
What once was a slightly
entertaining show has trans-
formed into an embarrassment.
If you find yourself channel-
surfing on a Tuesday night at 9
p.m., make sure to avoid The
Real World in Las Vegas at all
costs. It isn't just bland, it's the
most ridiculous thing MTV has
shown since the video for Chad
Kroeger and Josey Scott's
"Hero."
Yes, friends. It's that bad.
