Tsotsi
Film Review

This film is a film that could inspire your deepest emotions and to any individuals like myself who are interested behind the scenes of the way of life South Africans live in the rich and minor parts of Johannesburg, well this breath-taking film is the film to watch.
Tsotsi is an action-drama filled film set in Soweto, South Africa in the early 1970's. A struggle to look for change, the main character Tsosti a careless and ruthless teenager who lives in a small town called Soweto filled with filthy ghettos and poor individuals like himself. As he is a ghetto himself he grows up having no one to provide him a life he would've had when he was young child. Instead of that he had to provide himself food and water by carnarging people for their money.

In the film making of Tsotsi there are a lot of dramatic acting which helps us understand that being emotional is really important. One of the main lead roles Presley Chweneyagae who acts as Tsotsi is an example of being emotional as it is seen at the last part of the movie the expression on his face as he is giving the baby back to its parents is that of someone who is about to give his life. However Presley portrayed his character Tsotsi beautifully as he projects his emotions from off screen to the viewers point.

The mix music of Kwaito and Gangster music is appropriately used to reflect on the main character Tsotsi's background and the themes that is used in this film, such as when it is upbeat music it shows the theme of violence. An example of the upbeat music that is shown in the film is when after Tsotsi gives Sookie "teacher boy" a hiding then runs away, a loud thundering drum beat is played as he is running away from the pub and the trouble he has caused. Also another example of music that is used in the beginning of the film is Ghettoish music this is used to show the way Tsotsi lives in the minor area of Johannesburg which connects to his life as he is a Ghetto himself gambling in the shacks with his gang.

It will change the way you see (e.g young people) after watching this film. A truth is that a different set of individuals are inspired by different aspects that is used in movies like myself in this movie i liked the use of acting and music both aspects connect to each other such as the way Gavin Hood used the ghettoish music to show the way Tsotsi lives.
With the use of interesting and dramatic of different themes such as violence, change and redemption i believe that the film Tsotsi is one of the all times greatest action-drama filmed that is ever made because it relates back to how South Africans use to live in the early 1970's during the apartheid.

This film is a film that can change your perspectives about yourselves or other individuals around you it is a film that could inspire your deepest emotions so if i was you i would gt this film as soon as possible from the videos store around your area.
