      god is a good girl

      1. A very famous film, one day I suddenly became interested to watch it. The quality of the video in 1980 was added with the dubbing of the narration. At first, I thought that I would watch science and education films such as "Animal World".

      2. If one day they heard the roar of planes flying by in the sky, The Bushmen would think it was God burping too much.

      Unexpectedly, a Coke bottle that fell from the plane became an "oracle".

      They had never seen something so...

      Rings everywhere except the car bell

      Adventures of the African Continent. Funny, environmental protection, armed combat, love, low carbon.

      There are three flowers on each table.

      The indigenous African Bushes, who are out of touch with modern civilization, are still living in primitive society. The tribesman Xisuo picked up a Coca-Cola bottle. The Bushes thought the bottle was too good. There was friction in order to snatch the bottle to use. Xisuo decided to put this ominous thing. Throw to the end of the...

      Three Views

      The plot is very funny, I won't say it, everyone can see it for themselves.
      What I felt most deeply about the whole film was the difference in world outlook and values. Different people, different living environments, and different lifestyles all determine their different views on the world. The simple Tu people do not understand what modern civilization is like, and we who live in modern civilization have long lost the simplicity and persistence of the original environment.
      Of...

      god is laughing

      Overall rating: The content is so funny that the quality of the picture can be ignored.

      There are three lines throughout the film:

      The love between the female teacher who came from the city to teach in Africa and the zoologist who was rooted in Africa;

      Scammers trying to stage a coup;

      Indigenous Africans looking for the end of the world in order to throw away the "evil thing" (Coca-Cola bottle).

      Three parallel...

      Khoisan

      The Khoisan group is the least familiar to Americans, and Americans may not even have heard of their names. They used to be distributed over vast areas of southern Africa, and among them were not only a small number of hunter-gatherers called the San, but also a larger number of herders called the Khoi. (The more familiar names Hottentots and Bushmen are now preferred.) The Khoi and San looked (or were) very different from black Africans: their skin was yellowish, their hair Very thick and...

      Multi-line narrative, one line is like Kurosawa's "Desu Uzara", and one line is like Kusturica's "Underground". The film has reflections on nature and modernity, and also contains the unique national suffering of African nations. There is no tragic color at all, funny and not delicate and pretentious, it is a rare...

    Movie plot

    Although it is only 600 kilometers away from the modern metropolis, people living in the Kalahari region of Africa know nothing about modern things. Kalahari is a place that looks like a desert but is not a desert. There is dry and rainless for 9 months every year. Many animals leave because they can’t adapt to the environment here. But to the Kalahari, this place is as beautiful as heaven. They can dig roots, collect the dew on the...

    This is a micro comedy, which is still thought-provoking after laughter. There are a thousand Hamlets for a thousand readers, and the same is true for watching movies. Just talk about it. 
    Regarding the bottle, I personally think that the bottle is a key clue in the whole movie, and a key unfolds the whole movie. The Bush tribe where Hisoso is located changed their lives because a bottle fell from the air. The bottle belongs to modern...

    Movie quotes

    • [Steyn and Mpudi have finished defeating the bandits and saving Kate. Kate only sees Jack Hind, who has shown up at the last moment , picked up a gun, and taken charge]

      Mpudi: How come suddenly HE's the big hero?

    • Narrator: They live in the vastness of the Kalahari in small family groups. One family of Bushmen might meet up with another once in a few years, but for the most part they live in complete isolation, quite unaware that there are other people in the world. In the deep Kalahari, there are Bushmen who have never seen or heard of civilized man.

    • Narrator: Xi said, "The thing does not belong on the earth. Tomorrow, I will take it to the end of the earth and throw it off." Pabo said "I think the end of the earth is very far. I think you will have to walk for 20 days, perhaps 40. " Xi said, "I will start walking tomorrow."
