Tsotsi

The movie first tells us that it is a terrifying Africa. South Africa’s status in Africa is our motherland’s Shanghai, the United States’ New York, France’s Paris, but South Africa in the movie is the two ends separated by the smelly ditch, one is prosperous and the other is dilapidated; one is the rich community It is a tin box.
The movie then tells us how popular AIDS is in Africa. AIDS advertisements can be seen more everywhere than McDonald's and KFC, and Tsotsi's mother also died here. It is precisely because of his mother's illness that Tsotsi, who was originally a group of South Africans who got rich first, became a homeless child. What's more terrifying is that because of the poor education, the backward African people still feel that holding hands may be contagious. Just like many years ago, the lovers in the motherland were still worried about whether they could not help but conceive their children yesterday.
The movie also tells us that the lonely person is doomed to be alone for a lifetime, and trying to live in a group will only be bruised and bruised. Tsotsi's three so-called friends, or partners, one was beaten by him with only one eye left, the other was shot and killed by him, and the last, a little wiser, fat baby wisely chose to vote. Give up afterwards. So don't try to change your own destiny, all you need to do is to cater to it.
If a movie is made by a certain domestic director, it will definitely bear the notoriety of preaching, such as last year's "Mo Gong" and "Huo Yuanjia". It is really difficult for movies to be entertaining and secretively profound. So some movies are entertaining but they are ridiculed as having no brains, and some movies contain meaning and are put on the hat of preaching. The audience in the motherland is right. Impose their previous imagination of Lei Feng and Jiao Yulu on the poor directors!
At the end of the movie, Tsotsi raised his hands under the round up of the notes. I suddenly suspected that this film has two endings, and the other one I didn’t see should be: Tsotsi tried to pull the gun after returning the child (actually the director had already hinted that Tsotsi’s gun was left at home ten minutes ago. What a foreshadowing! ), the nervously nervous white South African policeman hit the eyebrow with a shot, which was very cool.
A tragic ending is often easier to get praise than warmth.

    Redemption, bondage and other words don't really suit me...I just like the tone and color of the film...South Africa is far away from me, but the picture is right in front of me. All the way lyrical coupled with the protagonist's thug identity, there is a strong contrast to me. Maybe the ending is his best home~ Maybe...
