Tsotsi



This film took place in In Johannesburg, Africa. A rebellious teenager named Tsotsi lives in a small village. Tsoti is a cold hearted boy who is living a extremely tough life. Has committed many crimes. He killed a a man with his gang during a robbery. He harasses a crippled beggar man. Then one night he forces a women out of her car, shoots her in the leg and steals her car. During the car ride he hears a baby crying. Gets out and starts running but he ends up running back and kidnaps the baby. He brings the baby back to his home and tries to figure out what to do with the baby. The more he spends time with the baby the more he gets attached to it. So for the next couple days the baby changes Tsoti, the baby makes him a different person, like in a good way.

Tsoti is starting to feel sympathy and remorse. So he soon realizes that he cant raise and take care of the child alone. So he goes to a women and forces her to feed the baby. The women showed Tsoti compassion and kindness with the time that she is forced to spend with him and he starts to catch on to it. The women soon finds out the he was the one that shot and kidnapped the baby when he lied and said it was his own. So she tells him with kindness that he should turn himself in and give back the child. And the one thing he asked of her when he does is if he could come back to her home.So Tsoti returns the baby safe back to the house he robbed and shot the women. He then accepts the consequences what learns compassion, love, kindness and care.

This film helped me understand everyday in a different person's shoes. It helped me understand the different culture that other people live in. I would give this five stars out of five. It was a very unique and understanding film.
