Movie Reviews of Tsotsi
Movie Review: Tsotsi
Summary: 5 Stars
I really enjoyed this movie. I feel that this movie accurately depicted, in a realistic way, a portion of life in Johannesburg, South Africa. The acting, delivered by each person, was wonderful. I feel that one of the reasons why this movie was well made and acted is because, of the fact that most, or all, of the characters are, indeed, from South Africa. It was much easier for them to tell and share this story. This is truly a remarkable movie and story. I feel that Tsotsi should become a, must have, DVD for all movie libraries, collectors and educational institutions throughout the world. As I continue to view this movie, I am able to note different aspects of this story. I am very pleased to have made this purchase.Movie Review: GREAT MOVIE
Summary: 5 Stars
I think the movie was really cool. sometimes we do not realize that things like these can happen anytime. In my opinion Tsosi did not have the infancy that he wanted. He has good feelings but his anger and his resentment do not let him express those good feelings. Otherwise, he would have abandoned that baby in the car, but he took him and he did not let the baby just die. He rather to murder his friend than the baby's father because he knew that baby needed him and they were good parents not like his drunk father. It was a great movie that shows the social classes and their differences and the unfairness of life sometimes.Movie Review: Tsotsi
Summary: 5 Stars
Based on a novel by Athol Fugard, Gavin Hood's raw, searing film brings off a tricky premise with just the right balance of sensitivity and force, as the discovery of a baby rekindles in a supposedly hardened thug long-suppressed feelings of humanity and an instinctive desire for redemption. Chweneyagae's complex, astonishing performance provides the film's focal point, and this, combined with Hood's assured pacing and direction, helped net "Tsotsi" a richly deserved Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film. A real stunner.Movie Review: wonderful movie
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie falls into the category of art rather than entertainment. The music, acting, and story blend together to form a portrait of a young man (tsotsi) in trouble. The interesting thing is that the director does not decide for you whether the young man is good and whether he will be redeemed. But, he does take you on a very emotional journey.
Definitely something to check out if you are interested in going beyond the stale Hollywood fare.
Movie Review: simple yet profound story
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a simple and yet profound heart-warming story of redemption and transformation that takes place in a township outside Johannesburg where neat little houses built by the government are overwhelmed by square miles of shacks. There is poverty and despair here, while also providing the ever small hint of possibility for hope and opportunity. The music is absolutely beautiful.
