TSOTSI MOVIE REVIEW


           Tsotsi and his gang raid the streets os Soweto






Byline- Ernest Mabasa


 The main actors in this movie are Mr.Presley Cheneyagae who plays the role of Tsotsi, Mr.Rapulana Seiphemo plays the role of MR.John Dube and very rich man, Terry pheto who plays the role of Miriam who is a widow, Mr.Kenneth Nkosi as Aap and Nambitha Mpulwana as Mr. John Dube’s wife and named Mrs.Pumla Dube.


In Johannesburg, a small time criminal, Tsotsi, is a teenager without feelings, hardened by his tough life. Tsotsi steals a BMW vehicle from Pumla after shooting her and later finds out that there is a toddler at the back seat of the car. He struggles to feed the toddler until he realizes that Miriam has a toddler too. He went to her house and point gun at her to feed the stolen toddler.

Miriam got used to feed that child and asked him to keep the child while he is gone. After that they had an accord which stated she must not tell anyone or she dies. Tsotsi hustled money to pay her. Because Pumla was shot, she got better and discharged. One day after John Dube has put Pumla on the bed. He got a gate call from anonymous person saying I leave it here. Mr.Dube recognizes the voice, security called the police. He and Pumla went to the gate to fetch the child. As they got to the police also arrived. Mr. Dube promised Tsotsi not to do anything to him and police dropped their guns. He gave the child to Pumla and raised his hands.

The theme of the movie is to teach and advise all people to stay away from bad things such as killing and being notorious. This is because being notorious does not reap person fruits but bad name. People should focus on doing good things.
The audience would be every person who loves action movies. People who want to know more about thug life and results. Even teenagers may be audience of this movie because it does not have pornography motions.
My opinion of the movie would be it was well directed because it was interesting when Tsotsi pointed gun at Miriam, it seemed as he would pull the trigger but he did not. The awful part was when Tsotsi persecuted old man on man-made wheel chair

I would rate this movie eight of ten because the start was completed that a man got slain for nothing. The quality of visual and sounds are good because even when it was rain hailing pictures and sounds were good. They used music of then time whish is good.
