Director: Jamie Uys
Synopsis: It was about the journey of Xi, a tribesman of the
Kalahari Desert, who thought that the coca cola bottle was an evil thing and
decided to throw it at the “edge” of the Earth, not knowing the world beyond
their desert.
The movie, The Gods must be crazy, according to my
understanding, has 3 separate stories that was combined into one later in the
movie. First, Xi and his fellow tribesmen of the Kalahari Desert had discovered
jealousy, anger, violence and even the concept of ownership or possessions due
to the bottle that fell from “heaven”. I found this scene a little funny and
amusing because in our perception we would find it a little stupid. I didn’t
mean it as an offensive comment. The movie also shows the culture of Africa, in
general. There are 2 set of culture they have and it was based on the
advancement of technology. We can see the difference of both culture and we are
able to find information about the Sho in the Kalahari Desert. In my opinion,
if you want to get information about South African tribes, I would recommend
this movie.
