    Year 10 Film Knowledge Booklet Term 3 Name: Class: Tsotsi (Hood, 2005): Summary Tsotsi (Presley Chweneyagae) is a petty-crime gang leader. He and his friends Boston, Aap and Butcher (Mothusi Magano, Kenneth Nkosi, Zenzo Ngqobe) rob a older man on a crowded subway then Butcher stabs him quietly and they flee once the subway is empty. Boston is sick afterwards. The gang goes to the local bar for a drink and Tsotsi mocks Boston for getting sick. Boston asks Tsosti what his real name is and a antagonizes him about what happened to him that made him this way. Boston pushes Tsotsi too far and Tsotsi hits him, pushing him to the floor. He continues the beating on the floor, hitting him numerous times in the face and kicking him in the side. Tsotsi then walks out of the bar. Tsotsi walks through the rain and makes his way towards a upper class house where a car just pulled up to the gate. A woman, Pumla (Nambitha Mpumlwana) gets out and rings the bell and speaks to someone asking him to open the gate. Tsotsi runs up, draws his gun and points it at her. He gets in the car and she tries to stop him from leaving. As Tsotsi shifts from reverse to drive he's stopped for a moment and Pumla manages to get the car door open and tries to tell him to stop but Tsotsi shoots her and drives off. Suddenly he hears a soft crying: it's a baby. He swerves and hits a sign, almost running off the road.

  • Review of „Tsotsi“
    Katrin Kube Katrin Kuba Review of „Tsotsi“ South Africa in Films University of Duisburg-Essen, Dr. Claudia Drawe pubished in cooperation with Düsseldorf 2007 Review of „Tsotsi“ 1 Katrin Kube Review Tsotsi The film Tsotsi throws the observer into an emotional roller-coaster! It shocks and makes angry, sad and sympathetic at the same time. Tsotsi, which means gangste r, is a nineteen-year-old boy living in one of the townships of Johannesburg, South Africa. He is the leader of a gang and a really bad guy. One day, he steals a car, shoots the owner down and flees. On his escape, he recognizes a baby in the back and decides to take it with him to his home. The film shows his rising care for the baby, that rouses memories of his own childhood he repressed before. At first sight, Tsotsi is the stereotypical criminal and violent teenager, but during the story, he turns out to be a rather round character, i.e. he is not such a simple character as one initially assumes. He becomes interesting. Inner fight Throughout the film, one can observe the development of Tsotsi’s conscience. In the beginning, the boy is situated in a hopeless situation. He is uneducated, has no job and steals in order to survive. Throughout the story, he seems to go through a kind of inner fight. On the one hand, he sees the richer people of the suburbs, on the other hand, the people, whose situation is even worse than his own. With the latter the film shows some very strong personalities, which, perhaps, seem to be weak externally, but which, on closer inspection, prove to be rather strong and the boy recognizes that they try to make the best out of their situation.

  • The Myth of the Good Italian in the Italian Cinema
    ISSN 2039-2117 (online) Mediterranean Journal of Social Sciences Vol 5 No 16 ISSN 2039-9340 (print) MCSER Publishing, Rome-Italy July 2014 The Myth of the Good Italian in the Italian Cinema Sanja Bogojević Faculty of Philosophy, University of Montenegro Doi:10.5901/mjss.2014.v5n16p675 Abstract In this paper we analyze the phenomenon called the “myth of the good Italian” in the Italian cinema, especially in the first three decades of after-war period. Thanks to the recent success of films such as Tarantino’s Inglorious Basterds or Academy Award- winning Benigni’s film La vita è bella and Spielberg’s Schindler’s List it is commonly believed that the Holocaust is a very frequent and popular theme. Nevertheless, this statement is only partly true, especially when it comes to Italian cinema. Soon after the atrocities of the WWII Italian cinema became one of the most prominent and influential thanks to its national film movement, neorealism, characterized by stories set amongst the poor and famished postwar Italy, celebrating the fight for freedom under the banners of Resistance and representing a nation opposed to the Fascist and Nazi regime. Interestingly, these films, in spite of their very important social engagement, didn’t even mention the Holocaust or its victims and it wasn’t until the 1960’s that Italian cinema focused on representing and telling this horrific stories. Nevertheless, these films represented Italians as innocent and incapable of committing cruel acts. The responsibility is usually transferred to the Germans as typically cold and sadistic, absolving Italians of their individual and national guilt.
