Great Film overall

The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

I am very glad I picked this movie. This was my second favorite movie I have seen this year, just behind Sin nombre. In this movie the main character struggled from a young age where his mother was sick and his father seemed to be abusive. He ran away when he was a child and grew up without parents somewhere in South Africa. He slept in pipes and turned to a life of crimes with some other kids who seemed to not have their parents. The first scene in the movie shows where the group of kids kill a man on a subway with an ice pick. Tsotsi, the main character, becomes aggravated by one of his friends and beats him up, then runs away. He steals a car from a women, he shot her in the process. However, he didn't realize that her baby was in the car. He leaves the car on the side of the road and takes the baby. He wants to raise the baby as his own. He seems to love this baby. He finds out that the mother who he shot survived. In the end, similar to an American movie, he gives the baby back to the father and mother.

I turned this off halfway through so I can't tell you what it does overall, you can turn to the rest of the comments here for that. It's described as a humanistic film, so I will only offer here a small comment on the tools used in the effort to humanize us.It's about a young thug eking out a life of violence in the South African jungle, about a world where life means nothing. It begins to that effect with a subway holdup and a family man gutted for no reason. The way it's made is that we have this calloused boy thrust in successive visions that soften the steely gaze and humanize: some unfold in present time, some with the air of vision, others in flashback to his childhood home. It's a fine structure, and one I would love to see in a way that softens the hard edges of reality to bring yearning to the fore in a real way. One memorable moment has him envision himself with family. But it's all blunt here (in the portion that I saw): a baby, a homeless man, an abusive father who breaks the dog's back. Its bluntness is not that it's too real, and this is exactly why I turned it off. It's the movie cartoon version so any redemption that would be in store for us later would feel phony to me. Yes, we see a world of abject poverty, but it's the airbrushed construct. So I don't feel that I have entered this world as it truly is, I feel someone's hand prying for my emotions. This is as real as Leon, I'd rather have Gloria myself.

"Tsotsi" is a truly unforgettable film from 2005. It is currently available on NetFlix Instant Download Streaming. The director is Gavin Hod. The novel is by Athol Fugard and the screenwriter is Gavin Hood. Actors include Presley Chweneyagae, Terry Pheto, Kenneth Nkosi and Mothusi Magano. Tsotsi is gorgeous, riveting, poignant, and thrilling. Not only is it a first-rate piece of storytelling, but it also takes the viewer into a world of South African poverty and crime that he has never seen before. Director/writer Gavin Hood offers us a tale of tragic redemption and uncommon poetry in a subculture of the most abject immorality. Truly unforgettable. The only work in recent times to which this movie can be compared is City of God. There, too, the viewer is brought into a world of poverty and crime he probably never knew existed. It is a world so bleak that it forces the viewer to examine his own morality and wonder how much of the civility he takes for granted in his life is merely the luxury of the well fed and comfortable. These characters live on the edge and their primary passion is survival. I gave it 8 stars. Dale Haufrect

This film describes problems that the Republic of South Africa has from the view of the main character, Tsotsi. South Africa has many serious problems like high crime rate, HIV, and high unemployment rate. Tsotsi is one of the people who suffer from such problems, and he needs to commit crimes to live. He takes up arms, and attacks people by force.However, one day he finds something stronger than force. He cannot wound the baby and the woman who cares his baby. Tsotsi had not been loved, but he finds he wants to love somebody. He regrets what he did, and finally he tries to make up for his misdeed with his all possible efforts. His look changes dramatically after he found the baby. At the beginning of the story, Tsotsi was just a delinquent boy, but he changes a man who can love somebody. All of actors, especially Presley Chweneyagae who acts Tsotsi, put on splendid performance. They and awesome story make us be moved.
