Let's start with one of the most memorable films, "The Gods Must Be CrazyI, which was staged in 1980." I remember that this was watched when I was in college, when a movie was 5 cents, the plot of the play is still quite impressive, and then I watched it three or four times, every time I watched it, I was moved once, so I felt worth recommending.
The clue of "God is also crazy I." is a Coke bottle falling from the sky, which has since opened up the fierce conflict and collision between modern civilization and primitive society, and all kinds of coincidences, jokes, conflicts, and reconciliations in the play are cleverly run through, witty and humorous, and wonderful. While telling the story, it mainly highlights the simplicity and kindness of the primitive tribal people of the African continent, which makes people fall into contemplation in light comedy.
The play uses a large number of shots to record the original and beautiful scenery of the African continent, the vast grasslands, and many wild animals, which makes people envious. The Bushmen people, a primitive tribe hundreds of kilometers away from the modern civilized city, know nothing about modern civilization and live a difficult life, but they all have the means of subsistence, divide and cooperate, get along well, and enjoy it. As a result, a Coke bottle that fell from the sky broke the calm, the bottle became a "scarce commodity", people competed to use it, which led to disputes and even fights, so one of the protagonists of the film, Xixo, thought that this was the source of "evil", and decided to go to the end of the world to throw away the bottle, so he encountered a lot of incredible funny things along the way that he could not understand.
In the play, the botanist Andrewsti coincidentally went to pick up Miss Kate, who came to be a village teacher, drove an old-fashioned Guard car without brakes, coupled with shyness, which triggered many funny things, that kind of simple and natural, clumsy and funny performance, let people remember it. When Ki saw that the domesticated goats thought they were like their tribe, they hunted and shared them, but they broke the law and were imprisoned, and because of the language barrier and never being restrained, they could die, and they were released in the name of service under the mediation of Dr. Andrewsti. Later, because of Her excellent hunting skills and wit, she rescued Kate and her students who had been taken hostage. In the end, Ki finally came to the "end of the world", returned the bottle of "sin" to "God", and returned to his original life.
Throughout the play, the bridge section design is very clever, and the display of conflict is also very exciting. The people of modern civilization are fighting with each other, the government army and the rebel team are deceitful, and people are wrapped up in the struggle; and the people of the primitive tribes, simple and kind, regard everything as a gift from God, think that all information can be shared, there is no selfish desire, but they are impacted by modern civilization, causing disputes, and the greed in their hearts is stimulated. It is reminiscent of the development of society and the progress of technology, so that people's possessiveness and greed are constantly amplified, and what is originally simple things become complicated, perhaps this is the price of social progress.
The director of this play expounded the idea that people are tired of the struggles of modern society and are looking for comfort in their hearts. For example, Kate is not willing to live in a fast-paced and irritable city, and chooses to go to the simple primitive tribal assistant teacher; botanists are constrained by the etiquette of the city because they have lived in the fields for a long time; these "crazy" acts are incomprehensible, but in the primitive fields, lovers eventually become dependents, and both of them find true love, which conveys a fresh warmth in that era and arouses the impulse of many people to explore nature.
If there is no flaw, then it is the director who thinks that he designed "God", in fact, in the concept of the primitive tribes, there is no God, they are just a primitive and simple life, everything is conventional, and the director uses the fictional "God" to interpret the contrast between the great changes in modern society and the conservative tribes, so as to use "God is also crazy" to highlight the impact of social changes on people, of course, as a Western movie, God worship is a universal concept, which we do not need to be too picky.
It is worth mentioning that there is an interesting thing in the play, that is, the rhinoceros will come to extinguish the fire and act as the "firefighter" of the primeval forest, but unfortunately, the authenticity of this matter has become a mystery, because the West African black rhinoceros declared extinct on November 10, 2011, and the other four rhinos are now on the verge of extinction, it is difficult to observe this phenomenon, which is also a collateral damage to modern civilization.
