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.
