The Gods Must Be Crazy: Strong Points
Based off of the "Movie of God must be crazy" that we have seen in class, one can perceive deferent aspect of human nature. In the Gods Must Be Crazy" there are few separate stories that get tied together towards the end. One story is about a bushman who goes on a journey to return a Coke bottle that he found to the Gods after the bottle starts causing harm to some of his family members. Another story revolves around a war that breaks out in Central Africa. And the last story centers around a clumsy scientist who tries to take a pretty South African woman to her new job as a schoolteacher in a small African village, and does everything wrong.
The movie opens with a look on the Bushmen and tells about kind of people that are friendly and without any knowledge.
The movie“ Gods must be Crazy” was very amusing it true, but at the same time I believe every part of movie shows different phase of human nature. For instance, the existences vis-à-vis the Bushmen and other people that live only few miles to the Bushmen demonstrate different aspect. As one can see a vast city where we can find civilized people and one hand they build, automobiles, technology even power lines to run his laborsaving devices, which are good, but they show less admiration for the nature. In the other hand, the Bushmen cared about nature and even asked for forgiveness when they had to kill an animal.
The movie“ Gods must be Crazy” shows some similarities in life style beside some differences. I believe that movie shows different phase of human nature, but at one point human being is similar. For example, an inelegant scientist who tries to take a South African woman to her new job as a schoolteacher in a small African village, and does everything wrong when he tries to cross the river he drops her and hang up the Jeep on the trees. I think no one is perfect even a civilize people some time act very stupid. Like the Bushman at least he knows how to disarmed those rebels with out attack them

The Second Coming gives the reader a new understanding of Things Fall Apart due to their undeniable connections. As the reader learns in both pieces, people that are blinded by their passion about the things they do can become evil, and achieve bad things. Some will say that things fell apart in the novel, but there are always two sides to each…

    Throughout human history, man has found himself fascinated with the Gods and the mysticism that surrounds them. The idea of praying to a higher power has always appealed to the ethos of mankind, as a way of comfort. Divine intervention has led to the construction of grand temples, churches, and mosques while, the rest of the people lived in shacks battling destitute poverty. Religion has ignored many problems of the human condition in favor of the fantasy of revelation and salvation. It has led to vicious wars, disenfranchisement of entire groups of people all because of the sweet promise of salvation. In John D. Caputo's essay, Caputo highlights the divisive nature of religion and how the promises of revelation and salvation result ultimately lead to further perpetuate the lies and violence that religion has brought…

    Macbeth by Shakespeare and Lord of the Flies by William Golding have much to say about man's sinful nature. Both of these works contain scenes in which main characters die; their deaths come about because of their sinful nature or the sinful nature of others around them. Man's sinful nature is revealed through the thoughts and actions of the characters of these works. The authors show through their works their belief that if everybody revealed their true natures, the world would tear itself apart.…

    Crimes and Misdemeanors

    • 2557 Words
    • 11 Pages

    For the past fifty years, director and actor Woody Allen has evoked much laughter from his neurotic-style comedies. Less recognized, however, is his fascinating ability in utilizing both his stunning, humorous wit along with several philosophical concepts. Such a combination creates an engaged and thoroughly entertained audience, as well as a mentally-stimulated one. In his movie “Crimes and Misdemeanors,” the philosophical concepts Allen touches upon deal with ethical and moral issues. What does 'do the right thing ' really entail; why not do the opposite if it leads to one 's personal success? In the absence of a God, who 's to say whether the choices we make are right or wrong? Answering these questions say much about the way one sees the world. This movie investigates such questions by intertwining two separate, parallel plots: the tragic story of Judah, and the comedic story led by Cliff Stern .There are two key moral positions that underlie the entire movie: Those with faith in God perceive the world as morally structured, forgiving, and full of true meaning. Those who do not believe in a God see the world as empty, pitiless, and devoid of meaning. After watching this movie for the third time, a consistent metaphor that integrates these positions revealed itself. Throughout the movie, nearly every scene visually and verbally involves the use of 'eyes ' to symbolize our perceptions on how we see the world, and how people do not see themselves and events the way others may see it. Although there are several elements, characters, and events worthy of an individual analysis, this paper will concentrate on how Allen 's film represents eyes to unveil hidden truths. To illustrate the use of 'eyes ' in this film I will investigate its role in the lives of Judah, Cliff, and Rabbi Ben. Keep in mind that all four of these characters each wear over-emphasized glasses.…

    Woody Allen’s, “Crimes and Misdemeanors”, film paints a realistic picture of the real world in which we all live. His film brilliantly portrays the lives of how a large amount of people across this globe live their own life and does not attempt to “sugarcoat” any event that occurs in the movie; he merely tells it how it is and provides information for what people should expect in today’s world. Allen takes on the issue of the human races’ true beliefs of morality and what actually happens in the real world, in contrast to what typically takes place in movies. Allen transpires different events throughout his movie that create a lingering question for his audience on the thoughts of morality in a “godless” community.…
