shocking about what happened
I went to see this movie mainly to see the scenery since I was recently in Jo Burg. I was disappointed that I didn`t see much of the country or the culture but I assume that’s not what the director intended. As for the plot it was a little strange and dark, but also interesting. It is worth watching.
It`s a nice movie and to Presly Chwenyagae u`re hot actor.U touched ma with that movie man.
As one from South Africa, I could resonate with some of the issues the movie "Tsotsi" addressed. It did make me cry and miss home, the music that accompanied it was great. But what I must say is the movie did not show the otherside of Jo`Burg, it is not all that bad. So don`t be scared to come to visit Jo`Burg. I guess like any city in the world, we have our own type of gangsters.
I don`t like movies about gangsters and the inherent violence that accompanies such lifestyles. I went to see `Tsotsi` because it is an African film, made by Africans, knowing full well that it is about a gangster in the South African township, Soweto. Yes, there was violence and hatred, but there was also tenderness and love. The storyline, acting, film directing -- they were all great works; so much so, that you could not help but be moved by it all. Tsotsi is a human story that I recommend to anyone of age.
A little disappointed after I saw the film. A touching story indeed, but the movie wasn`t very well done. Overacted roles and a lot of unnecessary plots...Wonderful material, could`ve been made into a much better production.
Absolutly wonderful! This is what GOOD cinema is about. This film teaches and inspires us to be better people. It shows the kind of impact movies can have on us, that the art can be used for good, for making a difference. The last few moments of the film are overwhelming. Brilliant!
A very touching movies, heartbreaking but really shows the reality of things. i loved it
