Not so Africa, so far away, Reivew on Tsotsi

The "salvation" I saw was translated as "gang thug". In fact, the original name of the film is the protagonist's name Tsotsi. It is said that Tsotsi is originally a South African street slang, which means black criminals, thugs or gang members in the city, and is a street gangster. Looking at it this way, "salvation" is like a generalization of the main theme of the film, but "gang mob" is the most suitable translation of the "intent".

"Redemption" is a bit preconceived by the central idea, but to be honest, I am more skeptical about whether the understanding of the main idea of the film should be nailed to "salvation". At least, this word is not enough to cover mine." After watching". In other words, if you use "salvation" to locate the "central idea" and "conscience discovery" to sort out the cause and effect in the film, this film can only make me feel so general, even if it is a rarely seen South African film; but If you just watch the film as "Tsotsi", you might feel a lot more rich.

I don't want to know if other directors just want to put the film on the redemption of conscience. Anyway, I would rather "understand" more "vaguely". Against the background of social tears and contradictions, the normalization of life distortions will lead to the difficulties and struggles of human nature. This is not an answerable question at all. Looking at it this way, the seemingly exotic landscape and music are no longer embellishments of novel taste. The imagery cannot be regarded as desperate, but it is not only lost and helpless, and it is by no means so African and far away. .
