Rating: - What's Good for the Big Screen Has Got to Be Good for DVD!
I saw The Gods Must Be Crazy in a packed theater in Beverly Hills in 1985. It was the only place playing the film in all of Southern California, so people were converging on that theater from all over the area. A friend visiting from Alabama had heard about the movie back home, but it wasn't playing anywhere in Mobile, so he wanted to take advantage of his trip to California. I'd never heard of the film, but I trusted my friend's taste, so we went. Man, was I glad I did! That's actually one of my most memorable moviegoing experiences. The film was a hoot! I have rarely heard a packed theater laugh so loud and so long and so passionately. I think we were all responding to the movie's off-slant sensibility--which was so different from the American comedies of the 1980s. My brother tells me that this is one of the most-rented movies at Blockbuster. So... don't you think that it might be worth the studio's while to release it on DVD?
Rating: - Totally unique
"The Gods Must Be Crazy" may be the most enjoyable movie I have ever seen. It was a low-budget, South African-made production, with actors unknown to most Americans, yet everything about this film is magical. A really unique movie. The dialogue is witty, and the humor is hysterically funny. More than anything, the main characters are extremely likeable. Why is "The Gods Must Be Crazy" not available on VHS or DVD anymore??
Rating: - Materialism vs. the simple life of the Bushmen
I found this movie to be a satire on our modern way of life in comparison to the life lived by the bushmen of the Kalahari. I think the filmmaker really believes, at least to some extent, that there are definite advantages to living in a non-modern society. It was quite intersesting how a simple coke bottle came and torchered the lives of these people on the Kalahari. I would like to express that through all they did to the bottle it should have broken. It did not, however, and it soon caused strife to come among them. Interestingly enough, my initial reaction, was to write that certainly they had strife among themselves of this nature before. A reassessment causes me to say that I don't know, I have never lived in a non materialistic society. To me everything can go back to the theme of the unhappiness possessions bring. The white man had a jeep, but we saw how much hassle the jeep was trying to pick up the lady. If she just walked things would have been simpler. Guns were available to civilization and because of that, a group was able to take a large number of childen hostage. That could not happen in the Bushmen society. It also seemed like everytime the white man tried to impress the woman, it was material things that he tipped over or tripped over. Maybe without those possesions he could have been more impressive to the schoolteacher. Who has the right to say which civilization is truly more advanced. It all depends on your perception of advancement.
