Movies

there is nothing i can really say to tell you why you should go watch this film right now without spoiling the film, but this film is powerful, detailed, well shot, written and emotionally grabbing. top performances by the talent of tsotsi, with the supporting cast all being equally impressive. This may not be for everyone; its not exactly art house, but there's enough dexterity and layers in the movie to scare away the Hollywood-type people. some films which can be compared to this film are the likes of city of god, even some larry David films like kids, and bully. in short, its a film which covers misplaced childhood and troubled adolescence. watch this as soon as you're able to and enjoy tsotsi.10/10

I really liked this movie - I think it well represents life in Johannesburg's suburbs. The way people acted looked so real for me, than sometimes I asked myself "why in a movie a baby eats ants?", and then I just thought that everyday thousands of kids die because of malnutrition, poverty... another really impressive thing was to see little children, probably orphans for AIDS, living in big concrete tubes... that was so sad... I found the babies and the little children very very cute, and I liked the protagonist (Tsotsi) too. as an Italian, I watched the movie with subtitles, and I really appreciate hearing Afrikaans (which appeared as a mix of English, french, Portuguese, German and Spanish with African languages) I wish everybody could watch this movie, and think about Africa today (where in some places life is even worser)
