Reaction paper for The Gods Must Be Crazy directed by Jamie Uys
___________________________ There wasn't a minute that our block didn't stop laughing our butts off when we watched The Gods Must Be Crazy. The characters of that humorous movie did well in their acting and so did the director of the movie for doing a great job for taking such wonderful cast and handling the actors of the great South African outback. What I loved most while watching the movie is its countless humor scenes like the when Andrew Steyn--a shy and bumbling biologist who is studying animals, left his car on a slope to open a gate and the car went uphill and back! The film's humor is not that immature or mature which is why it is suitable for all types of audience. Never did I imagine that I would laugh until my heart's content when we watched the movie, because of course as a teenager I assumed that this is yet going to be another boring movie our teacher expects us to make a reaction paper for.
Bottle drop! I find this scene really interesting when “god bestowed” to Xi and his tribe a glass bottle. In the urban area we just take that bottle for granted, but in Xi's tribe they make use of the bottle in so many ways like crushing herbs, polishing snake skins, making it a musical instrument, and etc. In our respective urban areas, we squander great amount of money for apparatuses we dont need, unlike the tribe of Bushmen who made a lot of uses just a single bottle of coke
It's inspiring how the ways of an outback-cultured person can save the life of an urban breed. Like how Xi saved the lives of Kate Thompson--the teacher who Andrew Steyn is romantically involved with, and his fellow men. Xi's skill to immobilize a man stealthily is one of the skill Mr. Steyn doesn't have! They harmoniously worked together as a team in order to save the lives of 20 or more children and Ms. Thompson from the grip of the guerrillas. Therefore, we musn't think highly of ourselves
