Have you seen Tsotsi?
 

If so did you like it? Trailer looked very good.

nobody? bb

Tsotsi is an excellent film, from start to finish. This is the first film in a very long time to elicit a number of emotional responses in me. Anger, joy, hope, forgiveness and empathy, are just a few. The storyline, plot, acting, music, cinematography were all top notch. The characters were all very believable- even the comedic relief. I was especially impressed with the manner in which the film was lit. There was something approaching beautiful of the slums, and the shots-in particular, the long views- were- breathtaking, a sort of elegant ugliness. This movie is brutal but believable, worth watching and well recommended.

do you work for rottentomatoes? Very well put :)

I loved the film, It's well worth the watch.

I haven't seen it, but the rave reviews posted here maked me want to watch it

it was just honered by the Oscars for Best Foreign Language Film

That movie was recommended to me yesterday, I will definatelt be checking it out.

"Based on a play by Athol Fugard, Tsotsi is South Africa's entry in this year's Oscar race for Best Foreign-Language Film. This remarkable movie means to shake you, and boy does it ever. In Johannesburg's Soweto townships, Tsotsi (slang for "thug") is a gang leader played with brutal force and unexpected tenderness by Presley Chweneyagae. After carjacking a Mercedes and shooting the woman who owns it, Tsotsi discovers the woman's baby in the backseat. His decision to care for the infant with help from a young mother (Terry Pheto) he threatens at gunpoint could have driven the film into crass sentimentality. Instead, writer-director Gavin Hood turns the film into a wrenching portrait of a character and a country at a crossroads. Chweneyagae's haunted and face is a window into a soul."
