Totsi - film Review by Edgar Pineda

“Tsotsi” is a great movie which has many things in mind to interpret. In this film in the beginning it starts with raining, with images color dark. The mean characters in the film, it was (David) on the character, Totsi, Miriam and Pumla the mother of the baby.

In the beginning the film Pumla was trying to open the door, in the mean time Totsi arrived to the place, and stole her car which inside in the back seat has the baby. Totsi it was running with the car, after that, Totsi arrived to his house and pull out the baby from the car. He was take care the baby, but he cannot properly care for the baby on his own. After that, the baby started crying. Then he was put music, but the baby needed change of pamper. So Totsi used paper but the baby continues crying. After that a friend Butcher was looking for Totsi, but he was affray because the baby was crying. So Totsi, they don’t want the people know he has the baby.

After that, Totsi fallows a man how was used a chair wells, the old man said to Totsi take my money and leave me along, and ask him why he fallow him. Totsi was trying to scare him and asked him what it’s wrong with his legs. The old man was trying to explain how he broke his legs. After that, Totsi leave from the place, and comes back to the house but the baby still crying, because the baby was very bad.

After that Totsi stared fallows another lady how was named Miriam she has a baby, so Totsio fallows her to her shack and forces at gun point to feed the kid napped child. After that he took back the baby, but after a coupe time late he takes the child to Miriam a second time, then she asks Totsi to leave the baby with her so that she can care for him. After that Totsi decides to return the baby, he was reaches John’s house, and tells John how was the father baby, he will leave the child outside the gate, but the police arrived that was the end.

The theme was very interesting, and polemic, because totsi was took the baby, but, in the mean time he was trying to take care themselves. Totsi mean character was an African young gang leader. But in the mean time, that baby is in the forever changing his life. Also the theme reflects and faced gangs.

My opinion, on the film it was a good film, because the film had images like drama, action, and suspense. Even the film has violence, and difference reactions, because it was a child who was took place, in the scenes. So for me, it was very dramatic to see the images when the baby was crying and had butterflies on the mouth, that was impress to me.

Bambay - film review by Edgar Pineda

“Bombay” starts at the beginning with many things, and goes like love stories, which is something great. The film starts with the characters Shekhar, the Muslim husband and Shaila Bano, the Hindi woman who just wants her family happy. They live in Bombay just have twins sons, while neither the couples fathers fating and yelling which scenes turns into dramatic images.

In the beginning the film it was very dramatic especially when Shekhar was arrived to the house Shaila and his father yelling to Shekhar, because he didn’t wants the relationship between Shekhar and her daughter. But after that Shekhar and Shaila continue the relationship and while that Shekhar and Shaila get married in Bombay. So after that Shekhar received a letter from his family, but that made conflict to then. Also by the time during that happen, the city it was burning by the extremist while resulting people Muslims injured and killed.

In the mean time the two sons was disappear and Shaila and Shekhar it was suffering to trying to find out. Then the father Shekhar comes to visit the house to see his grandsons. After that Shekhar starts to do like reporting, interviewing people about what happen, in the city. Also by the same time the mother of Shaila, it’s comes to visited the family too. So then the grandfather it was took the two sons and walked by the street and said the grandpa there are in the house.

The theme in the film it was about differences of religious, and the mean time caused people died. Also the film shows us violence images, which scenes involve drama and romance. The film also has a lot emotion for example, when Shaila it was crying and yelling to trying to looking for their child’s, there was missing. The film shows us how the religion they can change and idealized families.

The theme also has emotional images, especially when the grandfather even has their own feelings; in the end eventually they had touch humanity things. So in general the film has a lot of things, to interpret beside culture and religion. Is a film we can say this film has everything because they have conflict, drama, action, and romance.

I think this film is a great, film. They have a lot argument a lot of conflict, and different feelings. So that makes the film interesting. I think this film is one of the films I never see before, well because for some reason it was for me very familiar, with my culture. Because that happen some times in my culture too, like a one family they don’t want the other one, and sometimes people killed to another ones. So for me it was very interesting theme, because even this was only scrip, for me it was like real.
