There’s another nice release of almost unknown, but very good movie floating on the internet. Criminal drama Tsotsi (by the way awarded by Oscar) is movie filmed in british and south african coproduction and the story is very riveting. As the plot says, it has similar topic as another georgious movie, City of God: “Six days in the violent life of a young Johannesburg gang leader”. I watched City of God few years ago and I was at least shocked by the events in this movie, which were based on real circumstances. Tsotsi should be also very thrilling experience, so I can really recommend it to everyone who wants to know, how’s the world cruel in some other parts of the Earth…
The flim centres on the life of a young Johannesburg small time gang leader named Tsotsi – a colloquial term roughly meaning “thug” in Tsotsitaal “thug lingo”, the township penatois in which the movie is filmed. As a child he ran away from home due to an abusive father and sick mother and has grown up in the slums of Soweto. Tsotsi is set on the road to redemption when he hijacks a car one night, only to later find a baby on the back seat. He makes the decision to care for the baby himself, causing his gangster exterior to slowly fade away as he learns about empathy and compassion.
