      Realism or Romanticism

      In order to reflect, there must be an unfair society, an unreasonable system, indifferent and selfish white people, black people who only want to sell drugs, and most importantly, there must be an outstanding person who can only do good things and not bad things. the underworld boss. So don't say that this is a work of realism that alludes to society. This is just a romantic work similar to Young and Dangerous, and the allegory of reality is just incidental.

      Larch's Philosophy

      A relatively good gang crime film, it premiered in Berlin in 2008, and I don't know why it has only been released on the mainland after 3 years. Before watching it, I learned about the film team. This film was nominated for the 81st Best Foreign Language Film and was the third film of South African director Ralph Ziman.
      Luckey grew up in Soweto, South Africa since he was a child. Soweto in 1994, and even the whole of South Africa, were waiting for a new dawn, a new page in history, a new...

      The poor have no criminals, only revolutionaries!

      If you can't understand why the black boss in the film, who was born from robbery as a child, shoots everywhere with a gun in his hand, is called a revolutionary by me?

      That racist damn white cop accused the protagonist of blackmailing the white business owner. It is not so much out of a sense of justice and the law that it is because the black man who has been struggling under the feet of the white man for a long time drives a better car than himself, the girl he lives in is worse...

      Let the gang teach you what "the countryside surrounds the city"

      Chairman Mao said that we must rely on the poor peasants and hired peasants, unite with the middle peasants, restrict the rich peasants, protect the small and medium-sized industrial and commercial workers, and eliminate the landlord class. This sentence is no longer appropriate in this film. War, poverty, and poor security in African countries are common phenomena that exist and will exist for a long time. Although the plot of the two teenagers at the beginning of the film is a bit of a...

      I thought it would end in tragedy, but I didn't expect the ending to be so hopeful. The protagonist is full of a sense of fate, and the line of Nazareth has not been elaborated. In fact, he is also very tragic. The original sound is very...

      The Old City of Jerusalem, which integrates the three major religions, has staged numerous fierce disputes, and has also become a holy place for the three major religions. In Johannesburg, white versus black, poor versus rich, reality versus ideal, order versus chaos, is also a battle of resistance among various characters. Kunene is probably the most disciplined gang boss, and his name sounds cute. There is no flamboyant posture, no penetrating ability, this is more like the real life in South...

    Background creation

    Since childhood, Raki Kunene has witnessed the suffering of the people of South Africa, centuries of continuous oppression of rights - the power and evil taking everything from the masses, property, family, dignity and freedom. However, the only thing they couldn't take away was Cunene's dream. He wanted to be the "Robin Hood" of Africa since he was a child, robbing the rich to help the poor. Cunene put his dream into practice,...
